postbraze
Postbraze is a term used in speculative manufacturing discourse to describe an integrated post-brazing workflow—an approach to manage and optimize processes after metal brazing joints are made. In this concept, Postbraze covers data collection, quality assurance, and process adjustment aimed at improving joint reliability and traceability in complex assemblies.
Origin and usage: The concept appears in theoretical discussions of advanced manufacturing and in some science
Key components: digital twins of joints; sensor networks (temperature, vibration, vision); real-time analytics; automated nondestructive testing;
Implementation considerations: requires standardized data models, interoperability, cybersecurity, and investment; potential benefits include reduced scrap, improved
In practice, if implemented, Postbraze would align with Industry 4.0 principles and digital thread concepts in
