Abstract

However, up to 40 percent of products lie undetected and out of sight among the products containing the flaw for which they were developed. Automatic inspection systems are changing the efficiency of manufacturing while traditional quality control methods are not able to achieve consistency. In truth these systems can cut manufacturing errors by up to 50 percent, and lower cost to operate by fifteen (50 percent) to two (thirty percent).Solutions to these challenges become extremely compelling, with immediate automated quality inspection working in real time to find the defects outside human intervention. Automated inspection machines, on the other hand, have been found to be capable of inspecting thousands of products per minute with unprecedented accuracy, greatly decreasing reliance on having to manually inspect so many goods. The move to use automated systems over the traditional ones is helping manufacturers to make substantial savings in cost while maintaining the higher quality standards.
