Imagine what it would be like if an operator knew when a production process was unstable and fixed it immediately. Imagine if a machine automatically shut off or alerted someone when a setup error occurred. Imagine if an error could be predicted before it even happened. Process Variation Monitoring (PVM), is a paradigm shift in manufacturing technology that makes the imaginable, completely possible. This proactive approach provides information about the manufacturing process and focuses on preventing errors, rather than detecting them after they occur. With today’s zero defect tolerance, manufacturers must pay close attention to quality, and they must ensure that they don’t ship even one bad product to their [Read more]
OES Technologies joins Rockwell Automation as their newest Encompass Product Partner. Rockwell Automation Inc. is the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and information. Through Encompass Product Partners, customers can quickly locate complementary products that best solve any application challenges. These products are critical components or connectivity solutions that extend and enhance Rockwell Automation installations. OES designs and manufactures Process Variation Monitors under the ForceWorxTM brand, which is now referenced in the Encompass program. OES holds three patents for this breakthrough technology, which acts as an early warning system to alert machine operators when the manufacturing process is no longer stable. In contrast to conventional practice, which sees manufacturers [Read more]
The US 7,603,909 B2 (Piezoelectric Polymer Sensor Device) was invented and developed by Sophear Net and Kiet Ngo, both electrical engineers at OES. The patent falls under the OES Technologies division which produces monitoring devices for assuring good part quality in manufacturing. OES’s technology has been used by General Dynamics, Trojan Technologies, Carroll Healthcare, and 3M. Focus of this patent is for the WireWorx brand of products which helps the wire harness industry achieve almost perfect manufacturing results (at their zero defect tolerance levels). OES Inc is a diverse company, specializing in the design and manufacture of electronic control products and solutions. Founded in 1980, the company is focused in [Read more]
The patented process monitoring solutions from OES have been solving quality problems worldwide for years. Recently, ForceWorx was introduced to hit the mainstream market and to keep up with global demands, we are increasing our sales and service support. We’re very proud to expand our RepNetwork into the following territories: Brazil – Signalworks Belgium – Tech5 India – PCI Group Netherlands – Tech5 Ontario – Proax Technologies Pakistan – Affiliate International Quebec – Proax Technologies Finding defects on a finished part means the part is thrown out and money is lost. Finding defects (variance) in the process means corrections are made and nothing is thrown out. Process variation monitoring is [Read more]
Kiet Ngo, Manager Research & Development has been nominated as a candidate for induction to the Product Design & Developmentmagazine’s Design Engineer Hall of Fame, recognizing his innovative developments in Process Variation Monitoring (PVM). Through Kiet, OES has introduced true paradigm shifting technology to the manufacturing industry. These pioneering technologies put the emphasis on refining and improving the manufacturing process itself, and away from inspecting the finished part, as with traditional methods. This proactive methodology focuses on preventing errors, rather than detecting them. Kiet’s innovations have become highly demanded by industry leaders and gained attention for the company in diverse regions of the global marketplace. OEMs are realizing the significance of OES’s technology, [Read more]
Komax indicates the LPA56B sensor effectively monitors seal loading and wire stripping during production and through machine software interface will separate defects including incorrectly positioned seals, projected strands, or incorrect stripping lengths. The sensor installs with ease and is extremely user friendly, ensuring fast and simple product changeovers. “This official announcement by Komax AG, Switzerland follows the successful integration and performance testing of the LPA56B with TopWin Version 2.6. The LPA56B has become a universally recognized in-process inspection device adaptable to most automatic wire processing machines in support of qualify mandates with minimum affect to the machine production throughput” said Michael Reeve VP Strategic Sales and Business Development for OES.
