Manufacturers have been working towards built-in quality for years, developing roadmaps for the path to zero defects largely focused on quality systems compliance, process failure mode reviews, and incremental inspections. Vision systems long ago emerged as the go-to for automated quality inspection, but walk around any production facility, and you’re certain to find at least one of these systems in bypass due to a high incidence of false negatives / false positives, general frustration with stability, lack of in-house vision expertise or a combination of these reasons.
