Low-cost, high-accuracy sensors are crucial for integrating digital technologies into industries like automotive, medical, aerospace, and agriculture manufacturing. In aerospace, in-process torque and thrust force measurements can reduce time and cost by assessing tool wear and recommending tool changes when drilling metals, composites, and hybrids. With millions of holes required for aerospace structures, smart solutions are essential.

In this article, we examine how smart manufacturing can be achieved without high cost or complexity: https://bit.ly/49OSHUo
