Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) at AGS-TECH Inc. We offer Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Holonic Lean Manufacturing Computer Integrated Manufacturing at AGS-TECH Inc Our COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING (CIM) SYSTEMS interlink the functions of product design, research and development, production, assembly, inspection, quality control and others. AGS-TECH’s computer integrated manufacturing activities include: - COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN (CAD) and ENGINEERING (CAE) - COMPUTER-AIDED MANUFACTURING (CAM) - COMPUTER-AIDED PROCESS PLANNING (CAPP) - COMPUTER SIMULATION of MANUFACTURING PROCESSES and SYSTEMS - GROUP TECHNOLOGY - CELLULAR MANUFACTURING - FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS (FMS) - HOLONIC MANUFACTURING - JUST-IN-TIME PRODUCTION (JIT) - LEAN MANUFACTURING - EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION NETWORKS - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN (CAD) and ENGINEERING (CAE): We use computers to create design drawings and geometric models of products. Our powerful software like CATIA enables us to conduct engineering analysis to identify potential problems such as interference at mating surfaces during assembly. Other information such as materials, specifications, manufacturing instructions…etc. are also stored in the CAD database. Our customers can submit us their CAD drawings in any of the popular formats used in the industry, such as DFX, STL, IGES, STEP, PDES. Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) on the other hand simplifies the creation of our database and allows various applications to share the information in the database. These shared applications include valuable information from finite-element analysis of stresses and deflections, temperature distribution in structures, NC data to name a few. After geometric modeling, the design is subjected to engineering analysis. This may consist of tasks such as analyzing stresses and strains, vibrations, deflections, heat transfer, distribution of temperature and dimensional tolerances. We use special software for these tasks. Prior to production, we may sometimes conduct experiments and measurements to verify the actual effects of loads, temperature and other factors on the component samples. Again, we do use special software packages with animation capabilities to identify potential problems with moving components in dynamic situations. This capability makes it possible to review and evaluate our designs in an effort to precisely dimension the parts and set appropriate production tolerances. Detail and working drawings are also produced with the help of these software tools we use. The database management systems which are built into our CAD systems allow our designers to identify, view and access parts from a library of stock parts. We must emphasize that CAD and CAE are two essential elements of our computer integrated manufacturing system. COMPUTER-AIDED MANUFACTURING (CAM): Without doubt, another essential element of our computer integrated manufacturing system is CAM which reduces cost and increases productivity. This involves all phases of manufacturing where we use computer technology and enhanced CATIA, including process and production planning, scheduling, manufacture, QC and management. Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing are combined into CAD/CAM systems. This allows us to transfer information from the design stage to planning stage for the product manufacture without the need to manually reenter the data on part geometry. The database developed by CAD is further processed by CAM into the necessary data and instructions for operating and controlling production machinery, automated testing and inspection of products. CAD/CAM system allows us to display and visually check tool paths for possible tool collisions with fixtures and clamps in operations such as machining. Then, if needed, the tool path can be modified by the operator. Our CAD/CAM system is also capable of coding and classifying parts into groups that have similar shapes. COMPUTER-AIDED PROCESS PLANNING (CAPP): Process planning involves the selection of production methods, tooling, fixturing, machinery, operations sequence, standard processing times for individual operations and assembly methods. With our CAPP system we view the total operation as an integrated system with individual operations being coordinated with each other to produce the part. In our computer integrated manufacturing system, CAPP is an essential adjunct to CAD/CAM. It is vital for efficient planning and scheduling. The process-planning capabilities of computers can be integrated into the planning and control of production systems as a subsystem of computer-integrated manufacturing. These activities enable us capacity planning, control of inventory, purchasing and production scheduling. As part of our CAPP we have computer-based ERP system for effective planning and control of all the resources needed to take orders for products, produce them, ship them to the customers, service them, do the accounting and billing. Our ERP system is not only to the benefit of our corporation, but indirectly also to the benefit of our customers. COMPUTER SIMULATION of MANUFACTURING PROCESSES and SYSTEMS: We use finite-element analysis (FEA) for process simulations of specific manufacturing operations as well as for multiple processes and their interactions. Process viability is routinely studied using this tool. An example is assessing the formability and behavior of sheet metal in pressworking operation, process optimization by analyzing the metal-flow pattern in forging a blank and identifying potential defects. Yet another example application of FEA would be to improve mold design in casting operation to reduce and eliminate hot spots and minimize defects by achieving uniform cooling. Entire integrated manufacturing systems are also simulated to organize plant machinery, achieve better scheduling and routing. Optimizing the sequence of operations and organization of machinery helps us effectively reduce manufacturing costs in our computer integrated production environments. GROUP TECHNOLOGY: The group technology concept seeks to take advantage of the design and processing similarities among the parts to be produced. It is a valuable concept in our computer integrated lean manufacturing system. Many parts have similarities in their shape and method of manufacture. For example all shafts can be categorized into one family of parts. Similarly, all seals or flanges can be categorized into the same families of parts. Group technology helps us in economically manufacturing an ever-larger variety of products, each in smaller quantities as batch production. In other words, group technology is our key for inexpensive manufacturing of small quantity orders. In our cellular manufacturing, machines are arranged in an integrated efficient product flow line, named “group layout”. The manufacturing cell layout depends on the common features in parts. In our group technology system parts are identified and grouped into families by our computer controlled classification and coding system. This identification and grouping is done according to parts design and manufacturing attributes. Our advanced computer integrated decision-tree coding / hybrid coding combines both design and manufacturing attributes. Implementing group technology as part of our computer integrated manufacturing helps AGS-TECH Inc. by: -Making possible the standardization of part designs / minimization of design duplications. Our product designers can easily determine whether data on a similar part already exists in the computer database. New part designs can be developed using already existing similar designs, thereby saving on design costs. -Making data from our designers and planners stored in the computer integrated database available to less experienced personnel. -Enabling statistics on materials, processes, number of produced parts….etc. easy to be used to estimate manufacturing costs of similar parts and products. -Allowing efficient standardization and scheduling of process plans, grouping of orders for efficient production, better machine utilization, reducing setup times, facilitating the sharing of similar tools, fixtures and machines in the production of a family of parts, increasing overall quality in our computer integrated manufacturing facilities. -Improving productivity and reducing costs especially in small-batch production where it is needed the most. CELLULAR MANUFACTURING: Manufacturing cells are small units consisting of one or more computer integrated workstations. A workstation contains either one or several machines, each of which performs a different operation on the part. Manufacturing cells are effective in producing families of parts for which there is a relatively constant demand. Machine tools used in our manufacturing cells are generally lathes, milling machines, drills, grinders, machining centers, EDM, injection molding machines…etc. Automation is implemented in our computer integrated manufacturing cells, with automated loading/unloading of blanks and workpieces, automated changing of tools and dies, automated transfer of tools, dies and workpieces between workstations, automated scheduling and control of operations in the manufacturing cell. In addition, automated inspection and testing takes place in the cells. Computer integrated cellular manufacturing offers us reduced work in progress and economic savings, improved productivity, ability to detect quality issues right away without delay among other benefits. We also deploy computer integrated flexible manufacturing cells with CNC machines, machining centers and industrial robots. The flexibility of our manufacturing operations offers us the advantage of adapting to rapid changes in market demand and manufacturing more product variety in smaller quantities. We are able to process very different parts quickly in sequence. Our computer integrated cells can manufacture parts in batch sizes of 1 pc at a time with negligible delay between parts. These very short delays in between are for downloading new machining instructions. We have achieved building unattended computer integrated cells (unmanned) for economically manufacturing your small orders. FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS (FMS): Major elements of manufacturing are integrated into a highly automated system. Our FMS consist of a number of cells each containing an industrial robot that serves several CNC machines and an automated material-handling system, all interfaced with a central computer. Specific computer instructions for the manufacturing process can be downloaded for each successive part that passes through a workstation. Our computer integrated FMS systems can handle a variety of part configurations and produce them in any order. Furthermore the time required for changeover to a different part is very short and therefore we can respond very quickly to product and market-demand variations. Our computer controlled FMS systems carry out machining and assembly operations involving CNC machining, grinding, cutting, forming, powder metallurgy, forging, sheet metal forming, heat treatments, finishing, cleaning, part inspection. Material handling is controlled by central computer and carried out by automated guided vehicles, conveyors or other transfer mechanisms depending on production. Transportation of raw materials, blanks and parts in various stages of completion can be made to any machine, in any order at any time. Dynamic process planning and scheduling takes place, capable of responding to quick changes in product type. Our computer integrated dynamic scheduling system specifies the types of operations to be performed on each part and identifies the machines to be used. In our computer integrated FMS systems no setup time is wasted when switching between manufacturing operations. Different operations can be carried out in different orders and on different machines. HOLONIC MANUFACTURING: Components in our holonic manufacturing system are independent entities while being a subservient part of a hierarchical & computer integrated organization. In other words they are part of a “Whole”. Our manufacturing holons are autonomous and cooperative building blocks of a computer integrated manufacturing system for production, storage, and transfer of objects or information. Our computer integrated holarchies can be created and dissolved dynamically, depending on the current needs of the particular manufacturing operation. Our computer integrated manufacturing environment enables maximum flexibility through providing intelligence within holons to support all production and control functions required to complete production tasks and manage the equipment and systems. The computer integrated manufacturing system reconfigures into operational hierarchies to optimally produce products with holons being added or removed as needed. AGS-TECH factories consist of a number of resource holons available as separate entities in a resource pool. Examples are CNC milling machine and operator, CNC grinder and operator, CNC lathe and operator. When we receive a purchase order, an order holon is formed which starts to communicate and negotiate with our available resource holons. As an example, a work order may require the use of a CNC lathe, CNC grinder and an automated inspection station to organize them into a production holon. Production bottlenecks are identified and eliminated through computer integrated communication and negotiation between holons in the resource pool. JUST-IN-TIME PRODUCTION (JIT): As an option, we do provide Just-In-Time (JIT) production to our customers. Again, this is only an option we do offer to you in case you want or need it. Computer integrated JIT eliminates waste of materials, machines, capital, manpower and inventory throughout the manufacturing system. Our computer integrated JIT production involves: -Receiving supplies just in time to be used -Producing parts just in time to be turned into subassemblies -Producing subassemblies just in time to be assembled into finished products -Production and delivery of finished products just in time to be sold In our computer integrated JIT we produce parts to order while matching production with demand. There are no stockpiles, and no extra motions retrieving them from storage. In addition, parts are inspected in real time as they are being manufactured and are used within a short time period. This enables us to maintain control continuously and immediately to identify defective parts or process variations. Computer integrated JIT eliminates undesirable high inventory levels which can mask quality and production problems. All operations and resources that do not add value are eliminated. Our computer integrated JIT production offers our customers the option of eliminating the need to rent large warehouses and storage facilities. Computer integrated JIT results in high-quality parts and products at low cost. As part of our JIT system, we do use computer integrated KANBAN bar-coding system for production and conveyance of parts and components. On the other hand, JIT production may lead to higher production costs and higher per piece prices for our products. LEAN MANUFACTURING: This involves our systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste and non-value added activities in every area of manufacturing through continuous improvement, and emphasizing product flow in a pull system rather than a push system. We continuously review all our activities from the viewpoint of our customers and optimize processes to maximize added value. Our computer integrated lean manufacturing activities include elimination or minimization of inventory, minimization of waiting times, maximization of our workers efficiency, elimination of unnecessary processes, minimization of product transportation and elimination of defects. EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION NETWORKS: For high level coordination and efficiency of operation in our computer integrated manufacturing we have an extensive, interactive high-speed communications network. We deploy LAN, WAN, WLAN and PANs for effective computer integrated communication between personnel, machines and buildings. Different networks are linked or integrated through gateways and bridges using secure file transfer protocols (FTP). ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS: This relatively new area of computer science finds applications to some degree in our computer integrated manufacturing systems. We take advantage of expert systems, computer machine vision and artificial neural networks. Expert systems are used in our computer-aided design, process planning and production scheduling. In our systems incorporating machine vision, computers and software are combined with cameras and optical sensors to perform operations like inspection, identification, sorting of parts and guiding robots.

Adhesive Bonding - Adhesives - Sealing - Fastening - Joining Nonmetallic Materials - Optical Contacting - UV Bonding - Specialty Glue - Epoxy - Custom Assembly Adhesive Bonding & Sealing & Custom Mechanical Fastening lan Majelis Among our other most valuable JOINING techniques are ADHESIVE BONDING, MECHANICAL FASTENING and ASSEMBLY, JOINING NONMETALLIC MATERIALS. We dedicate this section to these joining and assembly techniques because of their importance in our manufacturing operations and the extensive content related to them. ADHESIVE BONDING: Did you know that there are specialized epoxies that can be used for almost hermetic level sealing ? Depending on the level of sealing you require, we will choose or formulate a sealant for you. Also do you know that some sealants can be heat cured whereas others require only a UV light to be cured ? If you explain us your application, we can formulate the right epoxy for you. You may require something that is bubble free or something that matches the thermal coefficient of expansion of your mating parts. We have it all ! Contact us and explain your application. We will then choose the most suitable material for you or custom formulate a solution for your challenge. Our materials come with inspection reports, material data sheets and certification. We are capable to assemble your components very economically and ship you completed and quality inspected products. Adhesives are available to us in various forms such as liquids, solutions, pastes, emulsions, powder, tape and films. We use three basic types of adhesives for our joining processes: -Natural Adhesives -Inorganic Adhesives -Synthetic Organic Adhesives For load-bearing applications in manufacturing and fabrication we use adhesives with high cohesive strength, and they are mostly synthetic organic adhesives, which may be thermoplastics or thermosetting polymers. Synthetic organic adhesives are our most important category and can be classified as: Chemically Reactive Adhesives: Popular examples are silicones, polyurethanes, epoxies, phenolics, polyimides, anaerobics like Loctite. Pressure Sensitive Adhesives: Common examples are natural rubber, nitrile rubber, polyacrylates, butyl rubber. Hot Melt Adhesives: Examples are thermoplastics like ethylene-vinyl-acetate copolymers, polyamides, polyester, polyolefins. Reactive Hot Melt Adhesives: They have a thermoset portion based on urethane’s chemistry. Evaporative / Diffusion Adhesives: Popular ones are vinyls, acrylics, phenolics, polyurethanes, synthetic and natural rubbers. Film and Tape Type Adhesives: Examples are nylon-epoxies, elastomer-epoxies, nitrile-phenolics, polyimides. Delayed Tack Adhesives: These include polyvinyl acetates, polystyrenes, polyamides. Electrically and Thermally Conductive Adhesives: Popular examples are epoxies, polyurethanes, silicones, polyimides. According to their chemistries adhesives we use in manufacturing can be classified as: - Epoxy based adhesive systems: High strength and high temperature endurance as high as 473 Kelvin are characteristic of these. Bonding agents in sand mold castings are this type. - Acrylics: These are suitable for applications that involve contaminated dirty surfaces. - Anaerobic adhesive systems: Curing by oxygen deprivation. Hard and brittle bonds. - Cyanoacrylate: Thin bond lines with setting times under 1 minute. - Urethanes: We use them as popular sealants with high toughness and flexibility. - Silicones: Well known for their resistance against moisture and solvents, high impact and peel strength. Relatively long curing times of up to a few days. To optimize the properties in adhesive bonding, we may combine several adhesives. Examples are epoxy-silicon, nitrile-phenolic combined adhesive systems. Polyimides and polybenzimidazoles are used in high-temperature applications. Adhesive joints withstand shear, compressive, and tensile forces pretty well but they may easily fail when subjected to peeling forces. Therefore, in adhesive bonding, we must consider the application and design the joint accordingly. Surface preparation is also of critical importance in adhesive bonding. We clean, treat and modify surfaces to increase the strength and reliability of interfaces in adhesive bonding. Using special primers, wet and dry etching techniques such as plasma cleaning are among our common methods. An adhesion promoting layer such as a thin oxide may improve adhesion in some applications. Increasing surface roughness may also be beneficial prior to adhesive bonding but needs to be well controlled and not exaggerated because excessive roughness can result in trapping of air and therefore a weaker adhesively bonded interface. We use nondestructive methods for testing the quality and strength of our products after adhesive bonding operations. Our techniques include methods such as acoustic impact, IR detection, ultrasonic testing. Advantages of adhesive bonding are: -Adhesive bonding can provide structural strength, sealing and insulation function, suppression of vibration and noise. -Adhesive bonding can eliminate localized stresses at the interface by eliminating the need for joining using fasteners or welding. -Generally no holes are needed for adhesive bonding, and therefore external appearance of components is unaffected. -Thin and fragile parts can be adhesively joined without damage and without significant increase in weight. -Adhesive joining can be used to bond parts made of very different materials with significantly different sizes. -Adhesive bonding can be used on heat sensitive components safely due to low temperatures involved. However some disadvantages do exist for adhesive bonding and our customers should consider these prior to finalizing their designs of joints: -Service temperatures are relatively low for adhesively joint components -Adhesive bonding may require long bonding and curing times. -Surface preparation is needed in adhesive bonding. -Especially for large structures it may be difficult to test adhesively bonded joints nondestructively. -Adhesive bonding may pose reliability concerns in the long term due to degradation, stress corrosion, dissolution….and the like. One of our outstanding products is ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE ADHESIVE, which can replace lead-based solders. Fillers such as silver, aluminum, copper, gold make these pastes conductive. Fillers can be in the form of flakes, particles or polymeric particles coated with thin films of silver or gold. Fillers can also improve thermal conductivity besides electrical. Let us continue with our other joining processes used in manufacturing products. MECHANICAL FASTENING and ASSEMBLY: Mechanical fastening offers us ease of manufacturing, ease of assembly and disassembly, ease of transportation, ease of parts replacement, maintenance and repair, ease in design of movable and adjustable products, lower cost. For fastening we use: Threaded Fasteners: Bolts, screws and nuts are examples of these. Depending on your application, we can provide you specially designed nuts and lock washers for dampening vibration. Riveting: Rivets are among our most common methods of permanent mechanical joining and assembly processes. Rivets are placed in holes and their ends are deformed by upsetting. We perform assembly using riveting at room temperature as well as at high temperatures. Stitching / Stapling / Clinching: These assembly operations are widely used in manufacturing and are basically the same as is used on papers and cardboards. Both metallic and nonmetallic materials can be joined and assembled quickly without need to predrill holes. Seaming: An inexpensive fast joining technique we use widely in manufacturing of containers and metal cans. It is based on folding two thin pieces of material together. Even airtight and watertight seams are possible, especially if seaming is performed jointly with using sealants and adhesives. Crimping: Crimping is a joining method where we do not use fasteners. Electrical or fiber optic connectors are sometimes installed using crimping. In high volume manufacturing, crimping is an indispensible technique for fast joining and assembly of both flat and tubular components. Snap-in Fasteners: Snap fits are also an economical joining technique in assembly and manufacturing. They permit quick assembly and disassembly of components and are a good fit for household products, toys, furniture among others. Shrink and Press Fits: Another mechanical assembly technique, namely shrink fitting is based on the principle of differential thermal expansion and contraction of two components, whereas in press fitting one component is forced over another resulting in good joint strength. We use shrink fitting widely in the assembly and manufacturing of cable harness, and mounting gears and cams on shafts. JOINING NONMETALLIC MATERIALS: Thermoplastics can be heated and melted at the interfaces to be joined and by applying pressure adhesive joining can be accomplished by fusion. Alternatively thermoplastic fillers of the same type may be used for the joining process. Joining of some polymers such as polyethylene may be difficult due to oxidation. In such cases, an inert shielding gas like nitrogen may be used against oxidation. Both external as well as internal heat sources can be used in adhesive joining of polymers. Examples of external sources we commonly use in adhesive joining of thermoplastics are hot air or gases, IR radiation, heated tools, lasers, resistive electrical heating elements. Some of our internal heat sources are ultrasonic welding and friction welding. In some assembly and manufacturing applications we use adhesives for bonding polymers. Some polymers such as PTFE (Teflon) or PE (Polyethylene) have low surface energies and therefore a primer is first applied prior to completing the adhesive bonding process with a suitable adhesive. Another popular technique in joining is the “Clearweld Process” where a toner is first applied to the polymer interfaces. A laser is then directed at the interface, but it does not heat the polymer, but does heat the toner. This makes it possible to heat only well-defined interfaces resulting in localized welds. Other alternative joining techniques in the assembly of thermoplastics are using fasteners, self-tapping screws, integrated snap-fasteners. An exotic technique in manufacturing and assembly operations is embedding tiny micron-sized particles into the polymer and using high-frequency electromagnetic field to inductively heat and melt it at the interfaces to be joined. Thermoset materials on the other hand, do not soften or melt with increasing temperatures. Therefore, adhesive joining of thermoset plastics are usually carried out using threaded or other molded-in inserts, mechanical fasteners and solvent bonding. Regarding joining and assembly operations involving glass and ceramics in our manufacturing plants, here are a few common observations: In cases where a ceramic or glass have to be joined with difficult-to-bond materials, the ceramic or glass materials are frequently coated with a metal that bonds itself easily to them, and then joined to the difficult-to-bond material. When ceramic or glass has a thin metal coating it can be more readily brazed to metals. Ceramics are sometimes joined and assembled together during their shaping process while still hot, soft and tacky. Carbides can be more easily brazed to metals if they have as their matrix material a metal binder such as cobalt or nickel-molybdenum alloy. We braze carbide cutting tools to steel toolholders. Glasses bond well to each other and metals when hot and soft.

Computer Storage Devices - Disk Array - NAS Array - Storage Area Network - SAN - Utility Storage Arrays - AGS-TECH Inc. Piranti Panyimpenan, Array Disk lan Sistem Panyimpenan, SAN, NAS A STORAGE DEVICE or also known as STORAGE MEDIUM is any computing hardware that is used for storing, porting and extracting data files and objects. Storage devices can hold and store information temporarily as well as permanently. They can be internal or external to a computer, to a server or to any similar computing device. Our focus is on DISK ARRAY which is a hardware element that contains a large group of hard disk drives (HDDs). Disk arrrays may contain several disk drive trays and have architectures improving speed and increasing data protection. A storage controller runs the system, which coordinates activity within the unit. Disk arrays are the backbone of modern storage networking environments. A disk array is a DISK STORAGE SYSTEM which contains multiple disk drives and is differentiated from a disk enclosure, in that an array has cache memory and advanced functionality such as RAID and virtualization. RAID stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive (or Independent) Disks and employs two or more drives to improve performance and fault tolerance. RAID enables the storage of data in multiple places to protect the data against corruption and to serve it to users faster.

To choose a suitable Industrial Grade Storage Device for your project, please go to our industrial computer store by CLICKING HERE. Dowload brochure for our DESIGN PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM Components of a typical disk array include: - Disk array controllers - Cache memories - Disk enclosures - Power supplies Generally disk arrays provide increased availability, resiliency and maintainability by using additional, redundant components such as controllers, power supplies, fans, etc., to the degree that all single points of failure are eliminated from the design. These components are most of the time hot-swappable. Typically, disk arrays are divided into categories: NETWORK ATTACHED STORAGE (NAS) ARRAYS : NAS is a dedicated file storage device that provides local-area network (LAN) users with centralized, consolidated disk storage through a standard Ethernet connection. Each NAS device is connected to the LAN as an independent network device and assigned an IP address. Its main advantage is that network storage is not limited to the storage capacity of a computing device or the number of disks in a local server. NAS products can generally hold enough disks to support RAID, and multiple NAS appliances can be attached to the network for storage expansion. STORAGE AREA NETWORK (SAN) ARRAYS : They contain one or more disk arrays that function as the repository for the data which is moved in and out of the SAN. Storage arrays connect to the fabric layer with cables running from the devices in the fabric layer to the GBICs in the ports on the array. There are mainly two types of storage area network arrays, namely modular SAN arrays and monolithic SAN arrays. Both of them use built-in computer memory to speed up and cache access to slow disk drives. The two types use memory cache differently. Monolithic arrays generally have more cache memory compared to modular arrays. 1.) MODULAR SAN ARRAYS : These have fewer port connections, they store less data and connect to fewer servers compared to monolithic SAN arrays. They make it possible for the user such as small companies to start small with a few disk drives and to increase the number as storage needs grow. They have shelves for holding disk drives. If connected to only a few servers, modular SAN arrays can be very fast and offer companies a flexibility. Modular SAN arrays fit into standard 19” racks. They generally use two controllers with separate cache memory in each and mirror the cache between the controllers to prevent data loss. 2.) MONOLITHIC SAN ARRAYS : These are big collections of disk drives in data centers. They can store much more data compared to modular SAN arrays and generally connect to mainframes. Monolithic SAN arrays have many controllers that can share direct access to fast global memory cache. Monolithic arrays generally have more physical ports to connect to storage area networks. Thus more servers can use the array. Typically monolithic arrays are more valuable and have superior built-in redundancy and reliability. UTILITY STORAGE ARRAYS : In utility storage service model, a provider offers storage capacity to individuals or organizations on a pay-per-use basis. This service model is also referred to as storage on demand. This facilitates efficient use of resources and reduces cost. This can be more cost effective to companies by eliminating the need to purchase, manage and maintain infrastructures that meet peak requirements which may be beyond the needed capacity limits. STORAGE VIRTUALIZATION : This uses virtualization to enable better functionality and more advanced features in computer data storage systems. Storage virtualization is the apparent pooling of data from several same-type or different types of storage devices into what appears to be a single device managed from a central console. It helps storage administrators perform backup, archiving and recovery more easily and faster by overcoming the complexity of a storage area network (SAN). This can be achieved by implementing virtualization with software applications or using hardware and software hybrid appliances. KLIK Product Finder-Locator Service PAGE sadurunge

Manufacturing and Assembly of Simple Machines, Lever Assembly, Wheel and Axle, Pulley, Pulley System, Hoist, Inclined Plane, Wedge, Screws from AGS-TECH Inc. Majelis Mesin Prasaja A SIMPLE MACHINE is a mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force. SIMPLE MACHINES can be defined as the simplest mechanisms that provide mechanical advantage. In other words, simple machines are devices with few or no moving parts that make work easier. Mechanical advantage is an advantage gained by using simple machines to accomplish work with less effort. The goal is to make the task easier (which means it requires less force), but this may necessitate more time or room to work (more distance, rope, etc.). An example of this is, applying a smaller force over a longer distance to achieve the same effect as applying a large force over a small distance. Mathematically speaking mechanical advantage is the ratio of the output force exerted by a simple machine to the input force applied to it. Simple machines have been around for a very long time. Using simple machines, Egyptians built the Great Pyramids thousands of years ago. Simple machines will always be around in more advanced forms as building blocks of compound machines and other complex machinery. Simple machines we supply our clients can be broadly categorized as: - Lever, Lever Assembly - Wheel and axle assemblies - Pulley & Hoist, Pulley Systems - Inclined plane - Wedge and wedge based systems - Screw and screw systems A simple machine is an elementary device that has a specific movement (often called a mechanism), which can be combined with other devices and movements to form a machine. Thus simple machines are considered to be the ''building blocks'' of more complicated machines. As an example, a lawn mover may incorporate six simple machines. We do use visual simulation tools in the design of some simple machines, which aids in the optimization process. To give you a more familiar example, a bicycle may have the following simple machines: Levers: Shifters, the pedal levers, derailleurs, handlebars, freewheel assembly, brakes. Wheel and axle: The wheels, pedals, crankset Pulleys: Parts of the shifting and braking mechanisms, drive train (chain and gears). Screws: Many of these hold parts together Wedges: The teeth on the gears. Some gooseneck assemblies where the handlebars attach to the front fork tube may employ a wedge to tighten the connection. A COMPOUND MACHINE is a device that combines two or more simple machines. Using the six basic simple machines, various compound machines can be assembled. There are many simple and compound machines in our homes. Some examples of the compound machines used at home are can openers (wedge and lever), exercise machines/cranes/tow trucks (levers and pulleys), wheel barrow (wheel and axle and lever). As an example, a wheelbarrow combines the use of a wheel and axle with a lever. Car jacks are examples of screw-type simple machines that enable one person to lift up the side of a car. Many of the machine elements we manufacture and supply our customers are used in the assembly of simple machines. The choice of materials, coatings and fabrication processes are very important and depends on the application of the simple machine being designed for a particular task. We will always be pleased to guide you in the design phases of your simple machines and manufacture them for you with the highest quality. Simple machines AGS-TECH Inc. has manufactured are being used in automobiles, motorcycles, auto lift equipment, conveyor systems, production equipment and machines, consumer electronics and goods.

Uses of microwave technology: COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS: Before the invention of fiber optic transmission technology, most long distance telephone calls were carried via microwave point-to-point links through sites like the AT&T Long Lines. Starting in the early 1950s, frequency division multiplexing was used to send up to 5,400 telephone channels on each microwave radio channel, with as many as ten radio channels combined into one antenna for the hop to the next site, that was up to 70 km away. Wireless LAN protocols, such as Bluetooth and the IEEE 802.11 specifications, also use microwaves in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, although 802.11a uses ISM band and U-NII frequencies in the 5 GHz range. Licensed long-range (up to about 25 km) Wireless Internet Access services can be found in many countries in the 3.5–4.0 GHz range (not in the USA however). Metropolitan Area Networks: MAN protocols, such as WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) based in the IEEE 802.16 specification. The IEEE 802.16 specification was designed to operate between 2 to 11 GHz frequencies. The commercial implementations are in the 2.3GHz, 2.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequency ranges. Wide Area Mobile Broadband Wireless Access: MBWA protocols based on standards specifications such as IEEE 802.20 or ATIS/ANSI HC-SDMA (e.g. iBurst) are designed to operate between 1.6 and 2.3 GHz to give mobility and in-building penetration characteristics similar to mobile phones but with much much greater spectral efficiency. Some of the lower microwave frequency spectrum is used on Cable TV and Internet access on coaxial cable as well as broadcast television. Also some mobile phone networks, like GSM, also use lower microwave frequencies. Microwave radio is used in broadcasting and telecommunication transmissions because, due to their short wavelength, highly directive antennas are smaller and therefore more practical than they would be at lower frequencies (longer wavelengths). There is also more bandwidth in the microwave spectrum than in the rest of the radio spectrum; the usable bandwidth below 300 MHz is less than 300 MHz while many GHz can be used above 300 MHz. Typically, microwaves are used in television news to transmit a signal from a remote location to a television station in a specially equipped van. The C, X, Ka, or Ku Bands of the microwave spectrum are used in the operation of most satellite communications systems. These frequencies allow large bandwidth while avoiding the crowded UHF frequencies and staying below the atmospheric absorption of EHF frequencies. Satellite TV either operates in the C band for the traditional large dish Fixed Satellite Service or Ku band for Direct Broadcast Satellite. Military communication systems run primarily over X or Ku Band links, with Ka band being used for Milstar. REMOTE SENSING: Radars use microwave frequency radiation to detect the range, speed, and other characteristics of remote objects. Radars are widely used for applications including air traffic control, navigation of ships, and traffic speed limit control. Besides ultrasonic decices, sometimes Gunn diode oscillators and waveguides are used as motion detectors for automatic door openers. Much of radio astronomy uses microwave technology. NAVIGATION SYSTEMS: Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) including the American Global Positioning System (GPS), the Chinese Beidou and the Russian GLONASS broadcast navigational signals in various bands between about 1.2 GHz and 1.6 GHz. POWER: A microwave oven passes (non-ionizing) microwave radiation (at a frequency near 2.45 GHz) through food, causing dielectric heating by absorption of energy in the water, fats and sugar contained in the food. Microwave ovens became common following development of inexpensive cavity magnetrons. Microwave heating is widely used in industrial processes for drying and curing products. Many semiconductor processing techniques use microwaves to generate plasma for purposes such as reactive ion etching (RIE) and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Microwaves can be used to transmit power over long distances. NASA worked in the 1970s and early 1980s to research the possibilities of using Solar Power Satellite (SPS) systems with large solar arrays that would beam power down to the Earth's surface via microwaves. Some light weaponry uses millimeter waves to heat a thin layer of human skin to an intolerable temperature to make the targeted person move away. A two-second burst of the 95 GHz focused beam heats the skin to a temperature of 130 °F (54 °C) at a depth of 1/64th of an inch (0.4 mm). The United States Air Force and Marines use this type of Active Denial System.

Waterjet Machining - WJ Cutting - Abrasive Water Jet - Hydrodynamic Machining - WJM - AWJM - AJM - AGS-TECH Inc. - USA Waterjet Machining & Abrasive Waterjet & Abrasive-Jet Machining lan Cutting The principle of operation of WATER-JET, ABRASIVE WATER-JET and ABRASIVE-JET MACHINING & CUTTING is based on momentum change of the fast flowing stream that hits the workpiece. During this momentum change, a strong force acts and cuts the workpiece. These WATERJET CUTTING & MACHINING (WJM) techniques are based on water and highly refined abrasives, propelled at three times the speed of sound, to make incredibly accurate and precise cuts in virtually any material. For some materials like leather and plastics, an abrasive may be omitted and cutting can be done only with water. Waterjet machining can do things that other techniques cannot, from cutting intricate, very thin details in stone, glass and metals; to rapid hole drilling of titanium. Our waterjet cutting machines can handle large flat stock material with many feet of dimensions with no limit to the type of material. To make cuts and manufacture parts, we can scan images from files into the computer or a Computer Aided Drawing (CAD) of your project can be prepared by our engineers. We need to determine the type of material being cut, its thickness, and the desired cut quality. Intricate designs present no problem as the nozzle simply follows the rendered image pattern. Designs are limited only by your imagination. Contact us today with your project and let us give you our suggestions and quote. Let us examine these three types of processes in detail. WATER-JET MACHINING (WJM): The process may equally be called HYDRODYNAMIC MACHINING. The highly localized forces from the water-jet are used for cutting and deburring operations. In simpler words, the water jet acts like a saw that cuts a narrow and smooth groove in the material. Pressures levels in waterjet-machining are around 400 MPa which is pretty sufficient for efficient operation. If needed, pressures that are a few times this value can be generated. The diameters of jet nozzles are in the neighborhood of 0.05 to 1mm. We cut a variety of nonmetallic materials such as fabrics, plastics, rubber, leather, insulating materials, paper, composite materials using the waterjet cutters. Even complicated shapes such as automotive dashboard coverings made of vinyl and foam can be cut using multiple-axis, CNC controlled waterjet machining equipment. Waterjet machining is an efficient and clean process when compared to other cutting processes. Some of the major advantages of this technique are: -Cuts can be started at any location on the work piece without the need to predrill holes. -No significant heat is produced -The waterjet machining and cutting process is well suited for flexible materials because no deflection and bending of the workpiece takes place. -The burrs produced are minimal -Water-jet cutting and machining is an environmentally friendly and safe process that uses water. ABRASIVE WATER-JET MACHINING (AWJM): In this process, abrasive particles such as silicon carbide or aluminum oxide are contained in the water jet. This increases the material removal rate over that of purely water-jet machining. Metallic, nonmetallic, composite materials and others can be cut using AWJM. The technique is particularly useful for us in cutting heat-sensitive materials that we cannot cut using other techniques that produce heat. We can produce minimum holes of 3mm size and maximum depths of about 25 mm. Cutting speed can reach as high as several meters per minute depending on material being machined. For metals the cutting speed in AWJM is less as compared to plastics. Using our multiple-axis robotic control machines we can machine complex three-dimensional parts to finish dimensions without the need for a second process. To keep nozzle dimensions and diameter constant we use sapphire nozzles which is important in keeping accuracy and repeatability of the cutting operations. ABRASIVE-JET MACHINING (AJM) : In this process a high-velocity jet of dry air, nitrogen or carbondioxide containing abrasive particles hits and cuts the workpiece under controlled conditions. Abrasive-Jet Machining is used for cutting small holes, slots and intricate patterns in very hard and brittle metallic and nonmetallic materials, deburring and removing flash from parts, trimming and beveling, removing surface films such as oxides, cleaning of components with irregular surfaces. The gas pressures are around 850 kPa, and the abrasive-jet velocities around 300 m/s. Abrasive particles have diameters around 10 to 50 microns. The high speed abrasive particles round off sharp corners and holes made tend to be tapered. Therefore designers of parts that will be machined by abrasive-jet should take these into consideration and make sure the produced parts do not require such sharp corners and holes. The water-jet, abrasive water-jet and abrasive-jet machining processes can be used effectively for cutting and deburring operations. These techniques have an inherent flexibility thanks to the fact that they do not use hard tooling. KLIK Product Finder-Locator Service PAGE sadurunge

Quality Management at AGS-TECH Inc. All our manufacturing operations are conducted under strict QMS guidelines, Total Quality Management TQM guidelines, SPC... Manajemen Mutu ing AGS-TECH Inc All plants manufacturing parts and products for AGS-TECH Inc are certified to one or several of the following QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (QMS) standards: - ISO 9001 - TS 16949 - QS 9000 - AS 9100 - ISO 13485 - ISO 14000 Besides the above listed quality management systems, we assure our customers highest quality products and services by manufacturing according to well recognized international standards and certifications such as: - UL, CE, EMC, FCC and CSA Certification Marks, FDA Listing, DIN / MIL / ASME / NEMA / SAE / JIS /BSI / EIA / IEC / ASTM / IEEE Standards, IP, Telcordia, ANSI, NIST The specific standards that apply to a certain product depend on the nature of the product, its application field, usage and customer’s request. We see quality as an area that needs continuous improvement and therefore we never restrict ourselves with these standards only. We continuously strive to increase our quality levels at all plants and all areas, departments and product lines by focusing on: - Six Sigma - Total Quality Management (TQM) - Statistical Process Control (SPC) - Life Cycle Engineering / Sustainable Manufacturing - Robustness in Design, Manufacturing Processes and Machinery - Agile Manufacturing - Value Added Manufacturing - Computer Integrated Manufacturing - Concurrent Engineering - Lean Manufacturing - Flexible Manufacturing For those who are interested in expanding their understanding on quality, let us briefly discuss these. THE ISO 9001 STANDARD: Model for quality assurance in design/development, production, installation, and servicing. The ISO 9001 quality standard is used worldwide and is one of the most common. For initial certification as well as for timely renewals, our plants are visited and audited by accredited independent third-party teams to certify that the quality management standard’s 20 key elements are in place and functioning correctly. The ISO 9001 quality standard is not a product certification, rather a quality process certification. Our plants are periodically audited to maintain this quality standard accreditation. Registration symbolizes our commitment to conform to consistent practices, as specified by our quality system (quality in design, development, production, installation and servicing), including proper documentation of such practices. Our plants are also assured of such good quality practices by demanding our suppliers to be registered too. THE ISO/TS 16949 STANDARD: This is an ISO technical specification aimed at the development of a quality management system that provides for continual improvement, emphasizing defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain. It is based on the ISO 9001 quality standard. TS16949 quality standard applies to the design/development, production and, when relevant, installation and servicing of automotive-related products. The requirements are intended to be applied throughout the supply chain. Many of AGS-TECH Inc. plants maintain this quality standard instead of or in addition to the ISO 9001. THE QS 9000 STANDARD: Developed by the automotive giants, this quality standard has extras in addition to the ISO 9000 quality standard. All of the ISO 9000 quality standard’s clauses serve as the foundation of the QS 9000 quality standard. AGS-TECH Inc. plants serving especially the automotive industry are certified to QS 9000 quality standard. THE AS 9100 STANDARD: This is a widely adopted and standardized quality management system for the aerospace industry. AS9100 replaces the earlier AS9000 and fully incorporates the entirety of the current version of ISO 9000, while adding requirements relating to quality and safety. The aerospace industry is a high risk sector, and regulatory control is needed to assure that the safety and quality of services offered in the sector are world class. Plants manufacturing our aerospace components are certified to the AS 9100 quality standard. THE ISO 13485:2003 STANDARD: This standard specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements applicable to medical devices and related services. The main objective of ISO 13485:2003 quality standard is to facilitate harmonized medical device regulatory requirements for quality management systems. Therefore, it includes some particular requirements for medical devices and excludes some of the requirements of ISO 9001 quality system that are not appropriate as regulatory requirements. If regulatory requirements permit exclusions of design and development controls, this can be used as a justification for their exclusion from the quality management system. AGS-TECH Inc’s medical products such as endoscopes, fiberscopes, implants are manufactured at plants that are certified to this quality management system standard. THE ISO 14000 STANDARD: This family of standards pertains to the international Environmental Management Systems. It concerns the way an organization’s activities affect the environment throughout the life of its products. These activities can range from production to disposal of the product after its useful life, and include effects on the environment including pollution, waste generation & disposal, noise, depletion of natural resources and energy. The ISO 14000 standard is related more to the environment rather than quality, but still it is one that many of AGS-TECH Inc.’s global production facilities are certified to. Indirectly though, this standard definitely can increase quality at a facility. WHAT ARE THE UL, CE, EMC, FCC and CSA CERTIFICATION LISTING MARKS ? WHO NEEDS THEM ? THE UL MARK: If a product carries the UL Mark, Underwriters Laboratories found that samples of this product met UL's safety requirements. These requirements are primarily based on UL's own published Standards for Safety. This type of Mark is seen on most appliances and computer equipment, furnaces and heaters, fuses, electrical panel boards, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, flotation devices such as life jackets, and many other products throughout the World and especially in the USA. AGS-TECH Inc. relevant products for the US market are affixed with UL mark. In addition to manufacturing their products, as a service we can guide our customers throughout the UL qualification and marking process.Product testing can be verified through UL directories online at http://www.ul.com THE CE MARK: The European Commission allows manufacturers to circulate industrial products with CE mark freely within the internal market of the EU. AGS-TECH Inc. relevant products for the EU market are affixed with CE mark. In addition to manufacturing their products, as a service we can guide our customers throughout the CE qualification and marking process.The CE mark certifies that the products have met EU health, safety and environmental requirements that ensure consumer and workplace safety. All manufacturers in the EU as well as outside the EU must affix the CE mark to those products covered by the ''New Approach'' directives in order to market their products within the EU territory. When a product receives the CE mark, it can be marketed throughout the EU without undergoing further product modification. Most products covered by New Approach Directives can be self-certified by the manufacturer and do not require the intervention of an EU-authorized independent testing/certifying company. To self-certify, the manufacturer must assess the conformity of the products to the applicable directives and standards. While the use of EU harmonized standards is voluntary in theory, in practice the use of European standards is the best way to meet the requirements of the CE mark directives, because the standards offer specific guidelines and tests to meet safety requirements, while the directives, general in nature, do not. The manufacturer may affix the CE mark to their product after preparing a declaration of conformity, the certificate which shows the product conforms to the applicable requirements. The declaration must include the manufacturer's name and address, the product, the CE mark directives that apply to the product, e.g. the machine directive 93/37/EC or the low voltage directive 73/23/EEC, the European standards used, e.g. EN 50081-2:1993 for the EMC directive or EN 60950:1991 for the low voltage requirement for information technology. The declaration must show the signature of a company official for purposes of the company assuming liability for the safety of its product in the European market. This European standards organization has set up the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive. According to CE, The Directive basically states that products must not emit unwanted electromagnetic pollution (interference). Because there is a certain amount of electromagnetic pollution in the environment, the Directive also states that products must be immune to a reasonable amount of interference. The Directive itself gives no guidelines on the required level of emissions or immunity that is left to the standards that are used to demonstrate compliance with the Directive. The EMC-directive (89/336/EEC) Electromagnetic Compatibility Like all other directives, this is a new-approach directive, which means that only the main requirements (essential requirements) are required. The EMC-directive mentions two ways of showing compliance to the main requirements: •Manufacturers declaration (route acc. art. 10.1) •Type testing using the TCF (route acc. to art. 10.2) The LVD-directive (73/26/EEC) Safety Like all CE-related directives, this is a new-approach directive, which means that only the main requirements (essential requirements) are required. The LVD-directive describes how to show compliance to the main requirements. THE FCC MARK: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent United States government agency. The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934 and is charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable. The FCC's jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions. All devices that operate at a clock rate of 9 kHz are required to be tested to the appropriate FCC Code. AGS-TECH Inc. relevant products for the US market are affixed with FCC mark. In addition to manufacturing their electronic products, as a service we can guide our customers throughout the FCC qualification and marking process. THE CSA MARK: The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) is a nonprofit association serving business, industry, government and consumers in Canada and the global marketplace. Among many other activities, CSA develops standards that enhance public safety. As a nationally recognized testing laboratory, CSA is familiar with U.S. requirements. According to OSHA regulations, the CSA-US Mark qualifies as an alternative to the UL Mark. WHAT IS FDA LISTING ? WHICH PRODUCTS NEED FDA LISTING ? A medical device is FDA-listed if the firm that manufactures or distributes the medical device has successfully completed an online listing for the device through the FDA Unified Registration and Listing System. Medical devices that do not require FDA review before the devices are marketed are considered ''510(k) exempt.'' These medical devices are mostly low-risk, Class I devices and some Class II devices that have been determined not to require a 510(k) to provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness. Most establishments that are required to register with the FDA are also required to list the devices that are made at their facilities and the activities that are performed on those devices. If a device requires premarket approval or notification before being marketed in the U.S., then the owner/operator should also provide the FDA premarket submission number (510(k), PMA, PDP, HDE). AGS-TECH Inc. does market and sell some products such as implants that are FDA listed. In addition to manufacturing their medical products, as a service we can guide our customers throughout the FDA listing process. More information as well as most current FDA listings can be found on http://www.fda.gov WHAT ARE THE POPULAR STANDARDS AGS-TECH Inc. MANUFACTURING PLANTS COMPLY WITH ? Different customers demand from AGS-TECH Inc. compliance to different norms. Sometimes it is a matter of choice but many times the request depends on customer’s geographic location, or industry they serve, or product’s application…etc. Here are some of the most common ones: DIN STANDARDS: DIN, the German Institute for Standardization develops norms for rationalization, quality assurance, environmental protection, safety and communication in industry, technology, science, government, and the public domain. DIN norms provide companies a basis for quality, safety and minimum functionality expectations and enable you to minimize risk, improve marketability, promote interoperability. MIL STANDARDS: This is a United States defense or military norm, ''MIL-STD'', ''MIL-SPEC'', and is used to help achieve standardization objectives by the U.S. Department of Defense. Standardization is beneficial in achieving interoperability, ensuring products meet certain requirements, commonality, reliability, total cost of ownership, compatibility with logistics systems, and other defense-related objectives. It is important to note that defense norms are also used by other non-defense government organizations, technical organizations, and industry. ASME STANDARDS: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, a lobbying organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization. Founded as an engineering society focused on mechanical engineering in North America, ASME is multidisciplinary and global. ASME is one of the oldest standards-developing organizations in the US. It produces approximately 600 codes and standards covering many technical areas, such as fasteners, plumbing fixtures, elevators, pipelines, and power plant systems and components. Many ASME standards are referred to by government agencies as tools to meet their regulatory objectives. ASME norms are therefore voluntary, unless they have been incorporated into a legally binding business contract or incorporated into regulations enforced by an authority having jurisdiction, such as a federal, state, or local government agency. ASME are used in more than 100 countries and have been translated into many languages. NEMA STANDARDS: The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) is the association of electrical equipment and medical imaging manufacturers in the US. Its member companies manufacture products used in the generation, transmission, distribution, control, and end use of electricity. These products are used in utility, industrial, commercial, institutional, and residential applications. NEMA’s Medical Imaging & Technology Alliance division represents manufacturers of cutting-edge medical diagnostic imaging equipment including MRI, CT, X-ray, and ultrasound products. In addition to lobbying activities, NEMA publishes more than 600 standards, application guides, white and technical papers. SAE STANDARDS: SAE International, initially established as the Society of Automotive Engineers, is a U.S.-based, globally active professional association and standards organization for engineering professionals in various industries. Principal emphasis is placed on transport industries including automotive, aerospace, and commercial vehicles. SAE International coordinates the development of technical standards based on best practices. Task forces are brought together from engineering professionals of relevant fields. SAE International provides a forum for companies, government agencies, research institutions…etc. to devise technical standards and recommended practices for the design, construction, and characteristics of motor vehicle components. SAE documents do not carry any legal force, but are in some cases referenced by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada in those agencies' vehicle regulations for the United States and Canada. However, outside North America, SAE documents are generally not a primary source of technical provisions in vehicle regulations. SAE publishes more than 1,600 technical standards and recommended practices for passenger cars and other road travelling vehicles and over 6,400 technical documents for the aerospace industry. JIS STANDARDS: Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) specify the norms used for industrial activities in Japan. The standardization process is coordinated by the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee and published through the Japanese Standards Association. The Industrial Standardization Law was revised in 2004 and the ''JIS mark'' (product certification) was changed. Starting October 1, 2005, the new JIS mark has been applied upon re-certification. The use of the old mark was allowed during the three-year transition period until September 30, 2008; and every manufacturer obtaining new or renewing their certification under the authority's approval has been able to use the new JIS mark. Therefore all JIS-certified Japanese products have had the new JIS mark since October 1, 2008. BSI STANDARDS: British Standards are produced by BSI Group which is incorporated and formally designated as the National Standards Body (NSB) for the UK. The BSI Group produces British norms under the authority of the Charter, which lays down as one of the BSI's objectives to set up norms of quality for goods and services, and prepare and promote the general adoption of British Standards and schedules in connection therewith and from time to time to revise, alter and amend such standards and schedules as experience and circumstances require. The BSI Group currently has over 27,000 active standards. Products are commonly specified as meeting a particular British Standard, and generally this can be done without any certification or independent testing. The standard simply provides a shorthand way of claiming that certain specifications are met, while encouraging manufacturers to adhere to a common method for such a specification. The Kitemark can be used to indicate certification by BSI, but only where a Kitemark scheme has been set up around a particular standard. Products and services which BSI certifies as having met the requirements of specific standards within designated schemes are awarded the Kitemark. It is mainly applicable to safety and quality management. There is a common misunderstanding that Kitemarks are necessary to prove compliance with any BS standard, but in general it is neither desirable nor possible that every standard be 'policed' in this way. Because of the move on harmonization of standards in Europe, some British Standards have been gradually superseded or replaced by the relevant European norms (EN). EIA STANDARDS: The Electronic Industries Alliance was a standards and trade organization composed as an alliance of trade associations for electronics manufacturers in the United States, which developed standards to ensure the equipment of different manufacturers was compatible and interchangeable. The EIA ceased operations on February 11, 2011, but the former sectors continue to serve the constituencies of EIA. EIA designated ECA to continue to develop standards for interconnect, passive and electro-mechanical electronic components under the ANSI-designation of EIA standards. All other electronic components norms are managed by their respective sectors. ECA is expected to merge with the National Electronic Distributors Association (NEDA) to form the Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA). However, the EIA standards brand will continue for interconnect, passive and electro-mechanical (IP&E) electronic components within ECIA. The EIA divided its activities into the following sectors: •ECA – Electronic Components, Assemblies, Equipment & Supplies Association •JEDEC – JEDEC Solid State Technology Association (formerly the Joint Electron Devices Engineering Councils) •GEIA – Now part of TechAmerica, it is the Government Electronics and Information Technology Association •TIA – Telecommunications Industry Association •CEA – Consumer Electronics Association IEC STANDARDS: The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a World organization that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies. More than 10 000 experts from industry, commerce, governments, test and research labs, academia and consumer groups participate in IEC’s Standardization work. The IEC is one of three global sister organizations (they are IEC, ISO, ITU) that develop International Standards for the World. Whenever needed, the IEC cooperates with ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and ITU (International Telecommunication Union) to ensure that International Standards fit together well and complement each other. Joint committees ensure that International Standards combine all relevant knowledge of experts working in related areas. Many devices around the World that contain electronics, and use or produce electricity, rely on IEC International Standards and Conformity Assessment Systems to perform, fit and work safely together. ASTM STANDARDS: ASTM International, (formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials), is an international organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services. Over 12,000 ASTM voluntary consensus standards operate globally. ASTM was established earlier than the other standards organizations. ASTM International has no role in requiring nor enforcing compliance with its standards. They may however be considered mandatory when referenced by a contract, corporation, or government entity. In the United States, ASTM standards have been widely adopted by incorporation or by reference, in many federal, state, and municipal government regulations. Other governments also have referenced ASTM in their work. Corporations doing international business frequently reference an ASTM standard. As an example, all toys sold in the United States must meet the safety requirements of ASTM F963. IEEE STANDARDS: The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards Association (IEEE-SA) is an organization within IEEE that develops global standards for a wide range of industries: power and energy, biomedical and health care, information technology, telecommunication and home automation, transportation, nanotechnology, information security, and others. The IEEE-SA has developed them for over a century. Experts from all over the world contribute to the development of IEEE standards. IEEE-SA is a community and not a government body. ANSI ACCREDITATION: The American National Standards Institute is a private non-profit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel in the United States. The organization also coordinates U.S. standards with international standards in an effort that American products can be used worldwide. ANSI accredits standards that are developed by representatives of other standards organizations, government agencies, consumer groups, companies, …etc. These standards ensure that the characteristics and performance of products are consistent, that people use the same definitions and terms, and that products are tested the same way. ANSI also accredits organizations that carry out product or personnel certification in accordance with requirements defined in international standards. The ANSI itself does not develop standards, but oversees the development and use of standards by accrediting the procedures of standards developing organizations. ANSI accreditation signifies that the procedures used by standards developing organizations meet the Institute's requirements for openness, balance, consensus, and due process. ANSI also designates specific standards as American National Standards (ANS), when the Institute determines that the standards were developed in an environment that is equitable, accessible and responsive to the requirements of various stakeholders. Voluntary consensus standards quicken the market acceptance of products while making clear how to improve the safety of those products for the protection of consumers. There are approximately 9,500 American National Standards that carry the ANSI designation. In addition to facilitating the formation of these in the United States, ANSI promotes the use of U.S. standards internationally, advocates U.S. policy and technical positions in international and regional organizations, and encourages the adoption of international and national standards where appropriate. NIST REFERENCE: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is a measurement standards laboratory, which is a non-regulatory agency of the United States Department of Commerce. The institute's official mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. As part of its mission, NIST supplies industry, academia, government, and other users with over 1,300 Standard Reference Materials. These artifacts are certified as having specific characteristics or component content, used as calibration standards for measuring equipment and procedures, quality control benchmarks for industrial processes, and experimental control samples. NIST publishes the Handbook 44 that provides the specifications, tolerances, and other technical requirements for weighing and measuring devices. WHAT ARE THE OTHER TOOLS AND METHODS AGS-TECH Inc. PLANTS DEPLOY TO PROVIDE HIGHEST QUALITY ? SIX SIGMA: This is a set of statistical tools based on well known total quality management principles, to continually measure the quality of products and services in selected projects. This total quality management philosophy includes considerations such as ensuring customer satisfaction, delivering defect-free products, and understanding process capabilities. The six sigma quality management approach consists of a clear focus on defining the problem, measuring relevant quantities, analyzing, improving, and controlling processes and activities. Six Sigma quality management at many organizations simply means a measure of quality that aims for near perfection. Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects and driving toward six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit in any process ranging from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service. To achieve Six Sigma quality level, a process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. A Six Sigma defect is defined as anything outside of customer specifications. The fundamental objective of the Six Sigma quality methodology is the implementation of a measurement-based strategy that focuses on process improvement and variation reduction. TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT (TQM): This is a comprehensive and structured approach to organizational management that aims for the improvement of quality in products and services through ongoing refinements in response to continuous feedback. In a total quality management effort, all members of an organization participate in improving processes, products, services, and the culture in which they work. Total Quality Management requirements may be defined separately for a particular organization or may be defined through established standards, such as the International Organization for Standardization's ISO 9000 series. Total Quality Management can be applied to any type of organization, including production plants, schools, highway maintenance, hotel management, government institutes…etc. STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL (SPC): This is a powerful statistical technique used in quality control for on-line monitoring of part production and rapid identification of of the sources of quality problems. The goal of SPC is to prevent defects from occurring rather than to detect defects in production. SPC enables us to produce a million parts with only a few defective ones that fail quality inspection. LIFE CYCLE ENGINEERING / SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING: Life cycle engineering is concerned with environmental factors as they relate to design, optimization and technical considerations regarding each component of a product or process life cycle. It is not so much a quality concept. The goal of life cycle engineering is to consider the reuse and recycling of products from their earliest stage of design process. A related term, sustainable manufacturing emphasizes the need to conserving natural resources such as materials and energy through maintenance and reuse. As such, neither is this a quality related concept, but an environmental. ROBUSTNESS IN DESIGN, MANUFACTURING PROCESSES AND MACHINERY: Robustness is a design, a process, or a system that continues to function within acceptable parameters despite variations in its environment. Such variations are considered noise, they are difficult or impossible to control, such as variations in ambient temperature and humidity, vibrations on shop floor…etc. Robustness is related to quality, the more robust a design, process or system, the higher will be the quality of products and service. AGILE MANUFACTURING: This is a term indicating the use of the principles of lean production on a broader scale. It is ensuring flexibility (agility) in the manufacturing enterprise so that it can quickly respond to changes in product variety, demand and customer needs. It can be considered as a quality concept since it aims for customer satisfaction. Agility is achieved with machines and equipment that has built-in flexibility and reconfigurable modular structure. Other contributors to agility are advanced computer hardware & software, reduced changeover time, implementation of advanced communications systems. VALUE ADDED MANUFACTURING: Even though this is not directly related to quality management, it does have indirect effects on quality. We strive to add additional value in our production processes and services. Instead of having your products produced at many locations and suppliers, it is much more economical and better from a quality point of view to have them produced by one or only a few good suppliers. Receiving and then shipping your parts to another plant for nickel plating or anodizing will only result in increasing the chances of quality problems and add to cost. Therefore we strive to perform all the additional processes for your products, so you get a better value for your money and of course better quality due to lower risk of mistakes or damages during packaging, shipping….etc. from plant to plant. AGS-TECH Inc. offers all the quality parts, components, assemblies and finished products you need from a single source. To minimize quality risks we also do the final packaging and labeling of your products if you want it. COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING: You can find out more on this key concept for better quality on our dedicated page by clicking here. CONCURRENT ENGINEERING: This is a systematic approach integrating the design and manufacture of products with the view toward optimizing all elements involved in the life cycle of the products. The main goals of concurrent engineering are to minimize product design and engineering changes, and the time and costs involved in taking the product from design concept to production and introduction of the product into the marketplace. Concurrent engineering does however need top management’s support, have multifunctional and interacting work teams, need to utilize state-of-the-art technologies. Even though this approach is not directly related to quality management, it does indirectly contribute to the quality in a workplace.
