Carestream NDT Signs Creative Electron as Channel Partner for Digital and Film Products
March 31, 2020 | Creative ElectronEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Carestream’s Non-Destructive Testing organization today announced its partnership with California-based Creative Electron Inc. for the NDT product portfolio.
Launched in 2008, Creative Electron manufactures and distributes high performance, off-the-shelf and custom X-ray inspection systems, made in the United States. These systems are used for quality assurance, material conformity and counterfeit detection in a wide range of applications. Creative Electron’s unique algorithms give new life to X-ray images.
Carestream’s partnership with Creative Electron will enable both companies to expand reach and increase their product portfolio in order to meet growing demands of the non-destructive testing industry.
Carestream has launched several new products into the NDT market, building on 100 years of imaging excellence. The newest addition to the company’s portfolio is the HPX-DR Non-Glass detector, which uses a tougher material instead of glass for maximum durability. With high-resolution output in the lab or the field, the HPX-DR eliminates costly repairs for broken glass. It uses the same INDUSTREX software in other Carestream NDT digital products.
Carestream’s HPX-1 Plus uses the industry-leading CR system HPX-1 designed for the rigors of the NDT work with improved PMTs for better image quality, high-resolution 25 microns scanning and increased throughput for higher productivity. The HPX-PRO is the industry’s first lightweight narrow-width scanner designed for portability and field use. It has scan resolutions down to 25 microns, can run on battery power and offers productivity equal to manual film processing.

SMT Perspectives & Prospects: Artificial Intelligence Part 6: Data Module 1
10/07/2025 | Dr. Jennie Hwang -- Column: SMT Perspectives and ProspectsData is one of the six pillars of AI infrastructure. It is critical to the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) models. AI data, essential to both the training and inference of Generative AI models, connotes the datasets used to train, validate, and test AI models. Training data provides models with a frame of reference by establishing a baseline against which models can compare new data using pre-trained models for predictions or generating new content.
Happy’s Tech Talk #43: Engineering Statistics Training With Free Software

Inside Thailand’s Rising PCB Hub: Touring a Chinese Fab
09/23/2025 | Edy Yu, Editor-in-Chief, ECIOFrom industry giants to emerging forces, many electronics companies are painting a grand blueprint for the future, laying out their plans in the investment hotbed of Thailand. This was evident during THECA in Thailand, where the most frequently heard buzzwords on and off the show floor were "going global," "building factories in Thailand," and "supply chain security.” With these insights, and full of expectations and questions collected at the exhibition, my team visited First Quality Circuit Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Sihui Fuji, located in the Amata Industrial Park in Rayong, Thailand
