A contemporary approach to statistical process control (SPC)—using real-time quality data—can help manufacturers reduce scrap, comply with regulations and standards, and meet customer requirements.
PCMMs automated with the proper inspection software deliver user-prompted, repeatable inspection plans that can be quickly and easily set up and executed using virtually any 3D measurement technology across the manufacturing enterprise.
As the manufacturing industry becomes more automated, quality control -- especially 3D scanners – are more key than ever.

When scanning was new on the market, capturing just 10,000 square feet of data in a day was considered a feat. Now, cutting-edge laser scanning technology enables manufacturers to capture 100 times that amount of information.
Competing on product quality has never been more urgent as rising raw material and component costs continue to squeeze manufacturers’ margins. At the same time, unpredictable supply chains make it increasingly difficult to maintain consistent product quality and cost visibility.
Manufacturers use predictive maintenance software to help tie the probability of equipment breakdowns, and they can use that knowledge to schedule machine preventive maintenance and manage production.

Machine downtime can be expensive. It eats up profits, repair costs, and time that could otherwise be devoted to labor. Organizations can avoid this by proactively observing the condition and performance of their equipment, enabling them to predict and prevent machine failures.
Quality intelligence platforms and cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) models gather and analyze data to deliver insights around the manufacturing process.

Manufacturers often gather quality data to learn how to boost operational efficiency and enhance product quality. But, accessing and analyzing that data isn’t always straightforward.
In all types of industries, machine learning (ML) tools are finding the needle in the haystack of data, augmenting quality and safety professionals with a new kind of intelligence that can unlock hidden data patterns that are impossible for the human mind or eye to absorb.
Total quality management is a way to describe a business environment where employees constantly improve their performance and are committed to maintaining high standards.
