Testing, measuring and control systems “If it’s not accurate, it’s not measurement.” The company making this declaration on its website is not in the wire and cable industry – but its cast of mind qualifies it for honorary membership. Equally might this company assert that, if it’s not accurate, it’s not testing. Still less is it control. An inaccurate ‘control system’ in a wire making facility would be a chaos machine. In fact a modern wire making line, running smoothly at high speed, without supervision and without incident, demonstrates what testing, measuring, and control are. They are the guarantors of precision, which enables the product to be certified free of imperfections. The suppliers and service providers profiled here know that no other kind has a place in today’s hypercompetitive market.
