We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Production Engineers",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Mould design guide is backed by experience from
Smithers Rapra, which we summarised at the time by saying "Book provides an in depth guide to the design and manufacture of mould tools that work successfully in production".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Sensor monitors sophisticated weaponry from
Parker Hannifin: "MBDA is using Parker's CM20 white light portable particle counter for monitoring the condition of the various hydraulic fluids used in Rapier FSC".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Hydramotion
concerning its Viscolite 700 portable viscomete
- take a look at Portable device monitors ink viscosity
which says: "The Viscolite 700's solid-rod probe is simply dipped into the ink and the measured viscosity is immediately displayed on the read-out unit".
Take a look also at the news release from Applied Automation (UK) MayTec Division, Ergonomic solutions improve workplace safety,
as well as Viscometer boosts oil burner performance from Hydramotion,
and Redundant systems maintain critical production from Mitsubishi Electric Automation Systems.
