Quality assurance during high-volume production operations, such as the inspection of consumer packaged goods (CPGs), is possible only through the application of high-speed machine vision systems.

The official definition of “machine vision” encompasses all industrial and nonindustrial applications in which a combination of hardware and software provide operational guidance to devices in the execution of their functions based on the capture and processing of images. In short, machine vision helps companies manufacture quality goods, repeatably.

Quality engineers use statistical process control (SPC) to eliminate process variation and ensure that final products meet customer expectations. Their job includes rooting out problems during production and ideally preventing issues before products become rejects.   

The Inspekto S70 offers powerful quality assurance capabilities in a small, versatile and practical package. Suitable for any handling method, product type and material, the S70 is up to the job, no matter what the visual QA task.

What are the consequences of Quality failures? Most of the time, the costs relate to waste, inefficiency and customer dissatisfaction. Sometimes, simple Quality failures can lead to tragic loss of life, environmental damage, and significant financial liability.

Additive manufacturing (AM) has evolved from a platform of simple prototypes to the production of mission-critical components for use in high-tech industries such as automotive, aerospace and healthcare.
