In November 2007, Google first released Android as an operating system (OS), targeted primarily at smart phones. Since then, we have witnessed its phenomenal success. It is today the most popular OS for smart phones. While most industries have leveraged Android in various ways, the healthcare industry has lagged behind. This is not surprising as

Last decade witnessed a phenomenal growth in the medical device industry with an average annual growth of 5%. Changes in power equations due to governmental involvement like OBAMA care, heightened regulatory scrutiny, ever increasing rate of innovation, new healthcare delivery models and the emergence of emerging markets. Quest has been supporting medical device firms for

Exploding data in the engineering space has made Engineering Analytics an imperative across various industries. Engineering Analytics is likely to benefit companies to the tune of $250 billion and this is expected to double to $500 billion by 2017. The current spend on Engineering Analytics product engineering, analytics and system integration is close to $13

The conceptual design of an aero gas turbine engine is quite complex involving many engineering disciplines such as aerothermodynamics, heat transfer, material technology, component design, engine controls to arrive at the engine configuration. The key emerging technologies for these propulsion systems are the increased component efficiencies through active control, advanced diagnostics and prognostics integrated with

Internet of Things (IoT) is the new buzzword that could impact the performance and efficiency of systems and processes. Developing a monitoring and diagnostics system over an IoT platform is nothing new for the automation industry as many major OEMs have already implemented the same. Though the initial implementations were focused on proprietary platforms and

Power transformers, though very small in number, play a critical role in the transmission of power in an electric grid. They are the vital nodes that carry huge volume of electricity. During its operation, power transformers are subjected to various stresses including thermal and electrical, resulting in liberation of gases from the hydrocarbon mineral oil

Engineering organizations have multiple challenges to deliver quality products on time, with quality concerns before, during, and even after production being high. Most OEMs attribute shipment delays to production non-conformances. Companies that do not achieve targeted shipments see piling work-in-progress inventory, upset customer, and stressed employees. When a product or process fails to meet the

Friday September 5th marked Teachers’ Day in India. It is a day when we celebrate the joy of having wonderful teachers & mentors, and express our gratitude to them. As the day drew to a close and I was driving home for the weekend, I found myself asking the question – who did I learn

Effective Engine Fleet Management is one of the main driving forces for cost effective operation of any airliners. Operational readiness of the fleet determines the quantum of business in the highly competitive commercial airline segments. On an average, airliners need to spend approximately 10% to 15% of the operation costs into maintenance of the fleet,

Quest Global was delighted to be part of the speaker panel at the 2014 GE Should Cost Summit held on September 11, 2014 at the GE Global Research Center, Niskayuna, NY, USA. The invitation-only event had over 80 participants from across GE and more than 20 external speakers from leading OEMs (Ford, John Deere), engineering
