Use Case #65: Manufacturing – Quality Control Automation 💡 Quality Control Automation in a business context involves using technology, particularly automated systems and software, to manage and enhance the quality control (QC) processes. This application of technology streamlines QC procedures, ensuring product consistency, reducing human error, and increasing efficiency. Quality Control Automation encompasses various technologies such as machine vision, artificial intelligence, robotics, and advanced sensor technology. These tools automate the inspection and testing processes in production, identifying defects or non-compliance with quality standards. 🎯 Objectives: - Ensuring Product Consistency and Quality: Automating inspections to maintain high quality and uniformity in products. - Increasing Efficiency and Throughput: Speeding up the QC process, allowing for higher production rates without sacrificing quality. - Reducing Human Error: Minimizing mistakes that can occur with manual quality control processes. - Data Collection and Analysis: Collecting detailed data on product quality for continuous improvement and compliance purposes. - Cost Reduction: Decreasing labor costs and waste associated with defective products. 💰 Desired impact on Business performance: - Improved Quality Standards: Consistent application of quality criteria, leading to fewer defects and higher customer satisfaction. - Enhanced Productivity: Faster QC processes allow for quicker turnaround times and increased output. - Cost Savings: Reduction in costs associated with scrap, rework, and warranty claims. -Better Compliance: Easier adherence to regulatory standards and quality certifications. -Valuable Insights for Improvement: Data analytics provides insights for continuous process and product improvement. #DataDriven #UseCase #Manufacturing #QualityControl #Automation

What is traceability and why is it so important that measurement systems are traceable? In this blog, we’ll aim to find out first by understanding traceability itself, and then by seeing how it’s applied in an industrial setting: https://lnkd.in/euy8Qrng #traceability #measurement #measurementsystems #measurementtools #machinetools

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗧𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝟯𝟲𝟬 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝟰 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀: In manufacturing, improving operational efficiency often means looking beyond the obvious. One of the most overlooked sources of waste is the human factor. Traditional quality control teams, no matter how skilled, are prone to errors and subject to human biases and motivations. Besides directly only delivering the right product quality, digitizing quality control also creates 5 significant reductions in waste: 𝟭.    𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗗𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿 Even the best operators can make mistakes. When human inspectors work on the side of caution, they often also discard products that meet quality standards, leading to unnecessary waste. 𝟮.    𝗡𝗼 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 There’s a subtle, often unspoken tendency for employees to “over-police” quality, especially in environments where their performance is judged on how many defects they catch. Because what to do when 'your' defect bin has been almost empty for an entire hour? Exactly: you fill your bin to show that you are doing your job. Unfortunately, this mindset results in perfectly good products being binned just to meet a perceived quota of quality interventions. 𝟯.    𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 You cannot give humans the instruction that will allow a margin of 3% outside the perfect quality range of product volume or colour for example. You cannot do this for a single parameter, let alone for 5. Using digital technology allows you to very precisely look for the perfect balance between the happy customer and maximum profitability. Doing this reduces your waste whilst maintaining customer satisfaction. 𝟰.   𝗡𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗝𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 Human inspectors make qualitative judgments based on their own experience, but these aren’t always aligned with the factual accepted quality levels. What may seem like a flaw to a person, could be within acceptable parameters, yet still gets flagged for rejection by this person. Using a digital inspector and sorter eliminates this type of waste. Practice has shown that the combination of the reductions achieved in these 4 categories, leads to a reduction in waste of up to 3%.

Quality Control vs. Cost: The Manufacturing Misconception [1] It's becoming increasingly clear that the traditional approach to quality control in manufacturing is costing more than it saves. And frankly, this makes little sense. For instance: Implementing a new AI-driven quality control system may seem expensive at first glance. But when you break down the costs saved by reducing waste, improving efficiency, and cutting down on product recalls, the investment suddenly appears nominal. This often results in a substantial ROI, far outweighing the initial setup cost. [2] Interestingly, it's often the larger, more established manufacturers that are slow to adapt, continuing to sink costs into outdated QC methods. They operate under the assumption: Bigger system = better quality. Why fix what isn’t broken? However, this mindset leads to inflated operational costs and missed opportunities for improvement. [3] A similar trend is observed in sectors experimenting with automation for the first time. Companies hesitant to innovate find themselves at a disadvantage, as proactive competitors leverage new technology to leapfrog ahead in efficiency and product quality. Subpar systems are not just a cost issue; they're a competitive disadvantage. [4] Unfortunately, many in the industry overlook the potential gains from upgrading their QC systems due to a lack of understanding or the perceived hassle of transitioning. They choose familiarity over innovation, a decision that costs significantly in the long run. [5] Solution If your QC provider can't offer clear, measurable benefits—like reduced error rates, faster turnaround times, and a demonstrable ROI—it's time to question their value.
