Streamlining material verification: Workflow solutions for Manufacturing 4.0

Companies can lean into Manufacturing 4.0 while simultaneously improving both quality and production output.

Manufacturers have been striving to improve efficiency since the days of Henry Ford. But recent supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID pandemic, labor market constraints, inflationary pressures, and increased quality demands have highlighted even more the need for increased manufacturing efficiency.

Whether driven by safety concerns or the demands of precision manufacturing, many downstream manufacturers are requiring their vendors to provide 100% material verification. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a valuable tool to prevent material mix-ups since it is both fast and nondestructive.
