Why We Need Bold, Long-Term Innovation Strategies

Why We Need Bold, Long-Term Innovation Strategies
October 16, 2018

Smart Manufacturing Magazine posted an article that Keox Technologies strongly believe in. We have been advocating similar concepts with industry colleagues, partners, and customers. This article articulates very well the less obvious, yet very significant, facts of how manufacturing innovation is crucial in driving the market and economy.   I have been taught by my mentor that whatever location manufacturing go, all other industries follow even if they are related to factory production or not. This article confirms that idea.   Manufacturing and Innovation are highly linked together – both sequentially and as a feedback cycle. Manufacturing implements the discoveries

Measuring Particle Sizes and Process Control – Controlling Size Process using Bhattacharyya Distance

Measuring Particle Sizes and Process Control – Controlling Size Process using Bhattacharyya Distance
May 1, 2018

Keox Technologies occasionally encounters a request in measuring particle size distribution.  That is, when making measurements on powders, minerals, rice, beans, grains, and even contaminant particles, a specific dimension number isn’t given but rather a distribution (or terminology used more in the Imaging world, a histogram).   The challenging part is how to determine if one distribution is similar to the control distribution or if it’s significantly different?  How does Process Engineering determine if incoming raw materials are within specification or that the fabrication process is out-of-control?   There are many different metrics of comparing – ranging from simple to
