Driving The Digital Route

That's why the in-plant staff at Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory are working overtime on a project that many other shops also find themselves tackling: to assemble and streamline the most efficient system of digital workflow possible.

"You'd think in this day and age someone would have a system set up that runs so perfectly everyone could go out and use the same thing, but that's not the case," says Jean-Luc Devis, operations manager at the lab's Laurel, Md., in-plant. "Everyone's got a different way of doing their work, so we're forced to come up with the system that's best for our own situation."
