BlueDocs™ is a module within Bluestreak™ that allows management of all corporate documents, such as quality and training manuals, operating procedures and equipment work instructions.

As the focus on quality processing has evolved, new innovations have come to the aid of thermal processors. However, one area that has not seen improvement in technology is the temperature uniformity survey (TUS).

The Genesis touchscreen temperature controller features a user-friendly display, WiFi communications, improved diagnostics, data collection and real-time graphing.

Heat treaters often find themselves questioning whether they should replace or retrofit equipment.

In 2015, led by ASM International and funding from NIST and AMTech, key players from heat treatment, glass and other industries created a comprehensive five-year technology roadmap for the entire thermal industry.

Eurotherm Online Services (EOS) is an integrated online platform and management tool for overseeing calibration records and regulatory status.

Bluestreak I Risk Analysis, available as an add-on license to Bluestreak I Advanced Quality, is designed for the quality requirements of Nadcap-, AS-, TS- and ISO-accredited companies.

Researchers looked at ways to help heat-treating companies understand how to estimate their energy usage and also how to effectively reduce it.
