Ronkonkoma, NY, USA, February 3, 2021—Qosina, a global supplier of OEM single-use components to the medical and pharmaceutical industries, is proud to announce that President and CEO Scott Herskovitz has been elected as an at-large board director of the Bio-Process Systems Alliance (BPSA).
Ronkonkoma, NY, USA, January 8, 2021—Qosina recently added 12 new filter options for fluid and gas applications. The company’s extensive filter product line includes a variety of hydrophilic and hydrophobic filters, transducer protectors, and an assortment of NRFit™ filters that comply with the ISO 80369-6 standard.
Evonik has developed a new osteoconductive polyether ether ketone (PEEK) for the medical technology market that improves the fusion between the bone and the implant. With the introduction of the new biomaterial, the specialty chemicals company is launching a new product line of next-generation, PEEK-based implant materials that it will market under the brand name VESTAKEEP® Fusion. Evonik will unveil the product at the virtual Eurospine conference October 6–9.
Ronkonkoma, NY, USA, October 6, 2020—Qosina is pleased to announce they now carry a sterile 3D-printed nasopharyngeal COVID-19 testing swab for nasal mucosa specimen collection.
Finger-print technology brings a more advanced level of precision and speed to the 50+ year old process.
St. Louis, MO – Watlow®, an industry leader in the design and manufacture of complete thermal systems, introduces its LEGACY SERIES panel-mount temperature controllers. These industry-leading PID controllers offer simple control without complex features making these controllers ideally suited for basic applications and usage levels.
The R&D department at CAQ AG has researched the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in order to identify non-valid measurement values. This knowledge today already comes to use in shape of a new type of data validation that facilitates the analysis of process deviations via the CAQ.Net software suite.
The new API in CAQ.Net facilitates real-time communication with virtually any third-party application. It allows you to integrate our software into any element of your IT-system landscape and to depict almost any CAQ.Net function within your MES, ERP, or individual app – thus paving the way for an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
In the area of quality management, it is almost impossible to meet the strict requirements of standards and guidelines regarding the handling of documents without holistic and fully integrated document management software.
All departments in a company regularly face the job of fulfilling projects. The initial aspects generally revolve around questions such as how to best fulfil the project target or how much time the project will require: who should do what when? This is where the project management software Projects.Net comes into play. By drawing personnel and scheduling matters into consideration and combing this information with various workflow-specific aspects, Projects.Net facilitates a well-structured project management that assists companies throughout the completion of targets.
It’s audit-time again and the auditor wants to see just how well the company is in control of its quality management system. Amongst other aspects, the auditor is primarily interested in the company’s processes. Ah yes, there’s that word again – “process”. Regardless of whether ISO 9001 or ISO 13485 certification, all these standards require that responsibilities and workflows are recorded in writing in shape of expressive process descriptions. How well these process descriptions are thought through and designed can, amongst other aspects, be the factor that decides whether certification is successful or not.
Implementing digital concepts such as e-learning helps companies to develop the full potential of their employees and thereby set the course toward sustainable success.
Nothing happens without a reason – effects are always the result of a cause. Unfortunately, detecting causes is not always easy, as effects are usually the result of a complex and often convoluted series of causes.
Whether organizing company structures, depicting responsibilities, or communicating interdepartmental SOPs – processes are the centrepiece of corporate leadership and the key to successful company management and product development. Apart from structuring day-to-day business, the transparent visualization of processes, responsibilities, targets and risks also directly assists companies on their way to successful certification.
As a software user you sometimes come to the point where you think: wouldn’t it be nice? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could make this field a mandatory field? Hide this field and rename that one? Insert an additional button right here that opens an external program or calls up a website? Customize this form precisely to meet the needs of a particular customer?
Gauges are essentially the sole interface between the measured object and the measured value and it is safe to say that this value lies at the beginning of all quality management efforts. If, for whatever reason, the value is not measured correctly, all subsequent QM processes such as incoming/outgoing goods inspections, SPC, or quality planning will be in vain.
Evonik is expanding its product range of biocompatible high-performance polymers of its VESTAKEEP® PEEK brand for medical technology: The specialty chemical company has developed a new radiopaque plastic material of implant quality on the basis of polyether ether ketone.
