Designing for Space: Mitigating Radiation Risks with Targeted Testing

Next-generation sensor systems rely heavily on high-performance electronics. At IST, our experienced team of engineers and technicians combines broad domain knowledge with practical expertise to solve our customers’ toughest problems. That’s why we were honored to be awarded a contract to develop the electronics module for a cutting-edge sensor package on board a satellite in low-earth orbit (LEO). The space environment poses a number of challenges that take the design requirements to the next level.

The Tiniest Defects Magnified: IST’s Custom Vision Expertise

Are you searching for a machine vision partner for your automation or custom instrument or application? Do you need a company that actually understands inspection? Unlike standard integrators, our company offers a wide breadth of knowledge in metrology and inline inspection. First and foremost, IST Precision understands inspection and metrology. Our roots extend back over 20 years to the Center for Precision Metrology at UNC Charlotte, a premier educational institution dedicated to metrology—the science of measurement. Their rigorous program branches into a variety of fields, from optical metrology and measurement uncertainty to custom instrumentation development. Over the years, IST Precision has amassed experience in both inline vision inspection and custom stand-alone inspection equipment. In this short article, we will discuss the use of cameras and high-resolution monitors for quality control manual inspection.

Automating Workflows: A Collaborative Success Story

The Industrial Automation market is expected to reach $𝟒𝟎𝟎 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 annually by 2029. This growth is only possible by making automation more flexible and easier to adopt in to manufacturing. The rise in the need for more automation in U.S. manufacturing is in part driven by two factors: a shrinking skilled workforce and the need for cost-effective processes. As companies bring production back to the U.S. (onshoring), staying competitive requires streamlined workflows, and reduced labor costs.
