We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Industry Standards",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Sealed plastics ignition switches suit cranes from
Cole Hersee, which we summarised at the time by saying "Said to be ideal for utility and crane applications, sealed plastic ignition switches are constructed of durable, engineering grade plastics and sealed to IP-67".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Screwdriver range covers popular types from
Facom UK: "A range of screwdrivers covers all popular patterns such as Phillips, Pozidriv, Slotted.Torx, Tamper Proof Torx and the new Torx Plus system".
In November 2007, we covered the news from hybris UK
concerning its ERP and PLM in supply chain management
- take a look at Securing the manufacturing supply chain with PLM
which says: "Enhancing sales, marketing and after-market business processes have to be integrated within the context of the overall manufacturing value chain, writes Andrew Piscina".
Take a look also at the news release from Cincinnati Machine, VMC reduces valve part machining time by 40%,
as well as Engineering group offers versatile foundry service from Mike Page - editor's feature articles,
and Polymer ball bearings work at high temperature from Igus (UK).
