Quality inspection: Why we trust in our own solutions

Quality inspection plays a crucial role in quality management, utilizing defined test criteria to check whether a product meets its quality standards. It guarantees not only the usage of the correct materials but also ensures that the final product meets the customer's expectations. It is therefore extremely important for the production process.

Despite its importance, quality inspection is increasingly facing challenges: It is considered particularly monotonous and uncomfortable. To attain a consistent standard, repetitive movements are often required to be executed hundreds of times in a consistent manner. Factors such as constant pressure or a consistent sequence of movements are crucial for this.

Anyone who has ever carried out highly repetitive work knows that this continuity is difficult to achieve. After a while, fatigue sets in, which has a negative impact on the workflow. This leads to errors that quality inspection cannot afford to make: the risk of product defects being carried through the entire production process and the customer ultimately holding a defective product in their hands is too high.

At the same time, monotony has a negative impact on the recruitment of skilled workers. In times of skills and labor shortages, it is becoming increasingly difficult to attract workers for uncomfortable work.?

Robot automation as the key

By using robots to automate quality control, companies kill two birds with one stone. The mechanical colleagues can perform the same movements continuously. As they do not get tired, there are no deviations. No breaks are required either. This enables round-the-clock production. Thanks to the reduced workload, employees can also concentrate on more varied components of quality...Read the full article here.
