How Thermal Imaging Process Monitoring Changes the Impact of FSMA 204

In industrial food manufacturing, quality assurance has long relied on periodic and random sampling. The Food Safety Modernization Act and the FDA’s Food Safety Traceability Final Rule (FSMA Section 204)  demands a new standard for food safety requiring: Maintenance of Key Data Elements (KDEs) Across Critical Tracking Events (CTEs) and 24-hour response times to FDA […]

Why Thermal Imaging Is the Only Reliable Validation for Hot Stamping

How full-field infrared monitoring catches the heat-treat defects that thermocouples never see before they become scrap, rework, or a recall. Hot stamping is one of the most thermally demanding manufacturing processes in the automotive supply chain. A boron steel blank must be heated to austenitizing temperatures between 900°C and 950°C, transferred rapidly into a forming […]
