US: France-based Saint-Gobain has awarded a contract to MTI Instruments to supply its Digital Accumeasure non-contact measuring technology. The group will use the product to measure closed-cell foam density in its production process. It said that the partnership aims to increase the number of process improvement products which reach plant implementation.

Saint-Gobain Competency Research Laboratories smart manufacturing team leader Mickael Boinet said "We chose MTI Instruments' Digital Accumeasure product for many reasons. The non-contact technology was just one of the pluses.” He added "We investigated various impedance measurement companies in Europe, but ultimately determined that the amplifier made by MTI Instruments was superior."
