Just like Netflix replaced DVDs, cloud storage took over from data centers, and Google outdid encyclopedias, is AI about to take the place of quality inspectors in manufacturing? But first, let's take a step back to truly understand its impact. The tradition of quality inspection has undergone significant refinement over centuries. Well before the industrial innovations of the 18th and 19th centuries emerged, craftsmen meticulously scrutinized their work for defects. Then, as we ventured into the early 20th century, visionaries like Walter A. Shewhart and W. Edwards Deming introduced statistical methods, revolutionizing the way quality was assessed and managed. In the latter half of the 20th century, the concept of Total Quality Management (TQM) gained prominence, emphasizing the involvement of every employee in the pursuit of quality excellence. Today, in the 21st Century, robotic automation and AI have carved out their niche in the inspection process. However, unlike previous advancements, this shift comes with a looming concern: the potential replacement of quality inspectors who have traditionally performed these tasks. While quality inspection has been a cornerstone in manufacturing for over 250 years, but it's intriguing to consider: are we on the brink of seeing it fully automated in the next 10 years? Additionally, the role of quality inspectors is shifting. Beyond just spotting defects and ensuring compliance, there's a growing focus on predictive analytics and preventing issues before they happen. Manufacturers are leaning towards predictive maintenance and quality forecasting, transforming quality inspectors' jobs into more strategic, forward-looking roles. So, suggesting that their jobs will become extinct might be an overstatement. However, AI is set to enhance their roles in the following ways: 1. Automation and AI will streamline routine inspections, reducing manual intervention on the assembly line. 2. Quality inspectors will shift focus to predictive quality analytics and proactive defect prevention, using data-driven insights. 3. Quality control will merge with disciplines like data analysis and engineering, fostering integrated quality management in manufacturing. So, Will manufacturing quality inspector jobs disappear in the next 5 years? NO. Although their roles may evolve significantly, their core mission to maintain quality standards remains vital. As technology reshapes manufacturing, quality inspectors will need to adapt and learn new skills to stay essential in the production process. #manufacturing #qualityinspection
