Aerospace & Automotive
Particle Analysis in the Aerospace and Automotive Sector
Aerospace and Automotive are two major manufacturing industries which rely on accurate Particle Analysis – also old industries born over a century ago; they have drastically evolved in the past 30 years in terms of product performance, leveraging high technologies and significantly reducing time-to-market. Both industries rely on rigorous quality requirements, advanced materials, electronics and embedded systems, mechanical components, engines, structures, (…) as well as robust new product introduction and enabling product life-cycle management. Meritics Ltd can supply a range of instruments and technologies to maintain and improve product output and quality.- Control of incoming raw materials
