4D Technology Corp

EAST Exhibitor: 4D Technology designs and manufactures surface gauges, surface roughness profilers and other metrology systems, for accurate measurement of precision surfaces. 4D products use patented technology to bring high resolution measurement to production environments, even in the presence of severe vibration and turbulence. The 4D InSpec Surface Gauge is the first handheld, high resolution instrument for non-contact measurement of surface features and defects. With Portable, affordable, and easy to use, the 4D InSpec puts high resolution measurement on the factory floor, in machine shops and deployed environments. Measure pits, scratches, nicks, dents, bumps, rivet depth, dot peen depth, etc., from 0.1 to 100 mils deep. The 4D InSpec is far more repeatable and accurate than visual comparison techniques often used for defect inspection. Unlike high-end metrology systems it is rugged, flexible and affordable, to measure features on a wide range of part geometries, even on curved surfaces, on blind features or inside of bores.

How to Define, Estimate, and Prove Out the Value of Smart Manufacturing Technologies

EAST Session: Abstract : Manufacturers are keen and pragmatic on how their capital is used to advance their state of manufacturing.  And it is clear to them how investments in physical assets bring operational value.  What is not so clear is the value-add of technology to their operations.  In this session, you will learn how to translate the value of technology to operations to facilitate internal planning and justification for technology investments. You will learn how to build a business case around technology to show the expected value and ROI of that investment. Using this approach, the project team can report the financial gains to key constituents to help with continued funding and support.  Significance/Importance : Manufacturers are keen and pragmatic on how their capital is used to advance their state of manufacturing.  And it is clear to them how investments in physical assets bring operational value.  What is not so clear is the value-add of technology to their operations.  In this session, you will learn how to translate the value of technology to operations to facilitate internal planning and justification for technology investments. 

Unlocking Insights: Revolutionizing Aerospace Manufacturing with Digital Threads

EAST Session: The aerospace manufacturing industry faces significant challenges, including the need for increased efficiency, flexibility, and cost reduction. Join us as we explore a real manufacturing scenario to see how vertical data integration from IT to OT can transform these challenges into opportunities. By connecting information silos throughout the manufacturing process, we enhance traceability and collaboration. Utilizing digital twin technology and smart manufacturing solutions enables virtual testing and optimization, helping validate part programs early on. Automation benefits, such as improved precision and consistency for example through advanced robotics, minimize human error and labor costs while increasing productivity. This integration fosters a data-driven manufacturing environment, driving innovation and competitiveness in aerospace manufacturing.
