A deceitful good idea!
The endless question for many Managers:
- Should we put on the market a new product/design when it is 80/90% technically developed, so as to be the first on the market and to overcome competitors while swiping the stakes?
Or
- Should we wait until it is 100% approved for marketing knowing the risk to be outstripped by competition and to lose the attached "innovative label"?
Why do not ask the inspector for help?
In the early 2000s, a cogwheels’ (pinions, transmissions) manufacturer used fluorescent PT or MT to detect cracks after grinding.
For MT, a 220 V AC hand-held electromagnet, fluorescent magnetic ink and a UV-A source were used currently.
A Peculiar Luxmeter!
When a user buys a meter, be it a voltmeter, a water-flow meter, a UV-A irradiance meter, a luxmeter, he expects the manufacturer has designed an accurate equipment, that the supplier is able to calibrate the meter and that confidence in the equipment is a “no-question asked” given.
One of us, who worked in a company performing many calibrations of UV-A radiometers and luxmeters, had his attention drawn by a colleague on a curious luxmeter designed by a French manufacturer for NDT applications.
