According to MasterControl’s 2022 Digital Quality Maturity Study conducted by Cicero research, the majority of quality organizations are going digital, have plans to go digital within the next five years, or believe this is where they need to go to achieve compliance and remain competitive.
We review the “state of the market” and discuss some established technologies that are maturing to provide value to more end users, as well as some “cutting-edge” technologies that may bear watching.
The topic of Quality 4.0 is rapidly becoming a legend due to its mysterious nature; it seemingly has no formal description. Very few people can confidently say that they have seen it or used it.
Manual means of performing NDT and human evaluation of the results is trending more and more to automated, digitized and artificial intelligence interpretation of the results whenever economically possible.
Manual or human manipulated NDT is still the primary means of performing Nondestructive Testing (NDT) in unique or one-off applications. Mechanical aids and/or computer assisted manipulation and scanning devices can reduce data gathering time on the site of the item being inspected.
Manufacturers can prevent disruption instead of reacting to it.

Artificial intelligence and predictive modeling still require a human element: Especially staff to capture data, manage insights, deploy the software, guarantee production quality and more.
Deep learning software represents a powerful tool in the machine vision toolbox, but one must first understand how the technology works and where it adds value.
In the machine vision marketplace the term “AI” typically refers to deep learning platforms that enable industrial automation and inspection. To appreciate the value proposition of AI in this context, it’s helpful to understand how the technology has evolved over the past several decades.
In roundness measurement – measuring the roundness of a part to confirm that it does not deviate from the known specifications on the blueprint – complexity has increased as parts become more complicated with tighter tolerances.
