Metrology: Inspection at the Speed of Light




OASIS Inspection System
MIDDLETOWN, Del., March 26 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Industry leaders frustrated with high cost of inspection: push for speed in the quality department without sacrificing accuracy or adding complexity. These days, equipment is only as good as the software that runs it. According to Erik Adams, of George Products Company, "Customers don't want a collection of parts; they want a turn-key solution to their inspection problems that includes powerful software to drive the system."



The OASIS Inspection System is driven by its own proprietary software that powers the system to operate at very high inspection speeds. New to the system is a strobe light source that creates the part shadow to be measured, and is controlled by the OASIS software to pulse light in micro-second bursts that effectively stops action.



Couple that with a strobe rate of 6 bursts per second, synchronized with the shutter on the digital camera, and the result is the OASIS' ability to measure all external dimensions in under a second -- all without the part ever needing to stop.



In yet another newly released feature geared toward speed, one-click reporting now instantly takes all measurements and exports them to SPC programs or the OASIS report spreadsheet.



"The speed of the Oasis has reduced our inspection time to seconds per component; reducing the need for a dedicated inspector doing audits and allowing the operator to inspect each component 100 percent. This has resulted in real-time data acquisition that helps manage tool wear and keeps the process stable during operation. The Oasis is the perfect inspection system to reduce inspection labor and is a great tool to monitor process operations," said Daniel Proveaux, Quality Assurance Manager, Certified Six Sigma Black Belt, COQE Certified Quality Manager, Goodrich Corporation - Bamberg, South Carolina.



About George Products Company, Inc.:



Founded in 1951 and located in Middletown, Delaware, George Products Company is the manufacturer of the OASIS Inspection System. The OASIS is a full-featured machine vision inspection system designed to measure multiple profile dimensions on parts, accurate to +/- 0.0001-inches, with all the measurements done in less than a second.

IDS and Primary Capital Mortgage Collaborate to Streamline Disclosures in Wake of RESPA Reform




RESPA disclosures
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April 14 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- International Document Services (IDS) and Primary Capital Mortgage have teamed up to minimize the lender's RESPA-related initial disclosures and closing document challenges. IDS is a mortgage document preparation vendor for closing documents, initial disclosures and reverse documents. Primary Capital Mortgage is an Atlanta based residential mortgage banking firm.



Primary Capital Mortgage striving for the "zero-defect" compliance with its Good Faith Estimate (GEF), Truth in Lending (TIL) and HUD-1 disclosure protocols gave IDS restricted access to its LOS platform and database. IDS mapped how the changes to the GFE and HUD-1 impacted the processes across each line of business. Primary Capital forwarded real-time feedback on updates and requested changes, enabling the doc prep provider to perfect and implement seamless RESPA specific updates to idsDoc. The implementation created a streamlined compliance and doc prep process that enabled Primary Capital to be RESPA compliant, maintain automation and preserve efficiency throughout both its retail and wholesale operation.



"From our perspective, RESPA reform is highly beneficial for lenders and brokers specifically, since the changes provide transparency with regard to true cost-to-close, consumers are now able to compare loans apples to apples," said George Phelps, executive managing director of Primary Capital. "Working with IDS, we've been able to easily integrate the new requirements into our origination process, with results being by and large positive," said Phelps.



"While RESPA compliance is certainly a concern for any lender, the reality is that fear is driving much of the backlash toward RESPA reform, and that fear is easily allayed by allowing our origination experts to work closely with experts like IDS," added Phelps.



Although HUD extended its RESPA enforcement deadline, IDS observed that many lenders found investors demanding compliance as soon as the updates were announced. This made for a confusing and piecemeal transition. IDS President Curt Doman found it imperative that the idsDoc system assist Primary Capital in becoming RESPA compliant as quickly as possible.



"As HUD and other governing agencies layer on regulations to make the lending process more consumer-friendly, lenders face the challenge of retaining speed and accuracy while meeting complex, ever-mounting compliance standards," said Doman. "While it's ultimately up to the lender to remain compliant, they turn to us, so it's our job to make sure those challenges are met head-on, by developing flexible document preparation solutions and audits that can rapidly incorporate any and all regulatory updates."



About Primary Capital Mortgage:

Primary Capital Mortgage is a leading residential mortgage company headquartered in Atlanta. Focusing on customer satisfaction, Primary Capital is committed to building new relationships and delivering mortgage solutions. Currently lending in more than 30 states, the company offers flexible loan products through both wholesale and retail lending. For more information visit www.primarycapital.com.
