The Challenge: Manual Inspections and High Costs
Manual inspection in the manufacturing sector is a labor-intensive task that demands skilled personnel to meticulously check each component against stringent quality standards. Despite its effectiveness, this method has several drawbacks:
High Labor Costs: Maintaining a team of inspectors for extensive production lines incurs significant expenses.
Limited Operational Efficiency: Manual inspections are typically confined to an 8-hour workday, which restricts throughput.
Inconsistency and Subjectivity: Even expert human inspectors can introduce variability into the inspection process.
Yield Impact: Delayed identification and resolution of defects can lead to lower yields and increased scrap rates, affecting profitability.
These issues collectively reduce the operational efficiency and profitability of manufacturers.
