My visit to a leading medical device manufacturer reinforced my belief in the critical importance of quality control in this industry. In the world of medical devices, shipping a defective product can equate to the cost of someone's life. High-severity medical device recalls are alarmingly common, impacting millions of units annually in the US. In fact, U.S. product recalls increased by 8% in the first quarter of 2024, with the medical device industry experiencing a 13.8% rise in recalls. While human visual inspection with multi-level checks remains a vital part of the process, introducing a fresh pair of eyes through computer vision significantly reduces defect rates. Leveraging the power of AI to reduce the cost of quality and enhance accuracy in quality control is the future of manufacturing. #Manufacturing #VisualInspectionAI #Healthcare #MedicalManufacturing #Automation #LooprAI
