[NTIACNews]QUME Demonstration Invitation

[Chris R. Coughlin]

Hello All,

As part of a multi-year R&D project, Monition Ltd. of the U.K. is 
conducting a demonstration of the project in July and would like to 
extend an invitation for interested parties to attend.  Their 
announcement follows.

***
Monition Ltd is a Condition Monitoring and Maintenance Management 
organisation, providing services across many industries in the UK & 
contributing R&D expertise to projects throughout Europe.

Monition has been involved in a European R&D project for the last 3 
years, working as a member of a project consortium of 9 commercial 
companies & research institutions to pioneer a prototype NDT, online 
quality inspection system for cast metallic, light-alloy parts 
manufactured for the aviation and automotive industries.

Utilising a combination of X-ray imaging, attenuation measurement and 
multi-sensor vibration analysis, the prototype QUME Intelligent 
Manufacturing System harnesses an innovative data fusion system to 
evaluate inspection data, characterise casting faults, and report 
information to the upstream production process to eliminate the 
occurance of production faults within casting batches.

The project concludes in a few weeks time, and the project consortium 
would like to extend an invitation to appropriate organisations to 
attend a demonstration event, hosted at the production facilities of 
Italian metalcasting company, Stampal SpA, in Turin, on Friday July 2nd, 
2004.

Technical presentations and a demonstration of the QUME project 
technology will offer opportunities to discuss the work of the project 
consortium, debate further development of the prototype technologies and 
to consider the industrial applications and feasibility of the QUME system.

Please visit the project website at: www.qumeproject.com - which 
contains further information and includes a short registration form 
should yourself, or others, be interested in attending the demo event in 
Turin on the 2nd of July.

Regards,
Chris
