One person who is trying to do something about it is Harry Moser, founder of the Reshoring Initiative, a nonprofit organization dedicated to persuading U.S. manufacturers to bring work back home from overseas. In this podcast, Moser talks about his organization and the software he developed for calculating the total costs of offshoring. Check out this sneak preview of Moser's May 4 keynote address to start Tech ManufactureXPO.
Several manufacturers have earned multiple OSHA
VPP Star awards at one location. Others, like Hendrickson U.S.A LLC, have
achieved Star status at multiple locations.
VPP participants at the Star level, OSHA consultants and equipment suppliers say there are several ways manufacturers can implement or improve their ergonomics programs.
Aluminum wire and cable can be more difficult to feed, cut, crimp, strip and splice than its copper counterparts. However, numerous processing methods are currently under investigation.
Medical device engineers are working on a wide variety of new products that address the unique needs of diabetics. The “holy grail” is a closed-loop blood glucose monitoring and insulin pump, sometimes referred to as an artificial pancreas.
For the past 15 years or so, assemblers have used SPR as an alternative to spot welding, especially when joining aluminum with other materials. The reasons why SPR is preferred are many.
