Challenge
Previous Inspection Method:
- The company relied on manual visual inspections to detect defects in the appearance of fittings.
Challenges of Manual Inspections:
- Human limitations affected the process:
- Prolonged focus
- Subjective judgment
- Fatigue
- Human limitations affected the process:
Detection of Defects:
- Obvious defects (e.g., size or shape inconsistencies) were easier to identify.
- Subtle issues (e.g., slight color variations or minor shape anomalies) often went unnoticed.
Consequences:
- Inconsistent inspection outcomes:
- Some defects were missed.
- Others were over-detected.
- This inconsistency compromised production efficiency and overall product quality.
- Inconsistent inspection outcomes:
