What is Your Machine Not Telling You?

What is Your Machine Not Telling You?

Our machines have a story to tell. Every input and output, start and stop, adjustment and readjustment has some sort of an impact on the machine. Whether during the R&D process or embedded into the final design, investing in ways to help machines "speak" to its developers or end users can result in...

Accidents Happen - Pressure Mapping Can Help R&D Teams Mediate Their Effects

Durability can be an important differentiator for many types of products. When choosing between two similar products, customers may prefer the option that is created with rugged components and sturdy materials that ensure a robust design. Research & development (R&D) teams of all kinds invest lots...
