Consumers care a lot about the quality of the products that they purchase and use. When it comes to the safety of items that are used on a day-to-day basis, there is very little patience for those that do not meet expected specifications. While humans have long been a part of the inspection process, however, there is one problem: people make mistakes.

Automation, on the other hand, allows for executives to remove the burden of inspection from workers and re-allocate them to a different part of the production line— apart from direct quality control.
