Start with
the news release System inspects tablets on the production line from
Teraview, which we summarised at the time by saying "A proprietary terahertz platform demonstrates real time measurements of tablet coating thickness and other critical quality attributes of solid dosage forms".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release CNC converts maintenance shop into factory from
XYZ Machine Tools: "Investment of over GBP 200,000 in new CNC machine tools has added a successful and expanding subcontract operation onto a well established maintenance workshop service".
In September 2007, we covered the news from RNA Automation
- take a look at Parts feeding automation open day planned
which says: "Automation of parts feeding company, RNA Automation, has scheduled an Open Day to show how company efficiency can be increased by equipment that offers extensive flexibility".
Take a look also at the news release from Malvern Instruments, European user group meetings for chemical imaging,
as well as Digital Revolution in Latin America. from Rotoflex Tooling,
and Laser system applies lot and bar codes from DataLase.
