Part inspection is essential to manufacturing quality, but it also consumes production time, floor space, engineering attention, and capital. As manufacturers push for faster throughput and tighter tolerances, inspection systems must do more than find defects; they must reduce touch time, preserve valuable shop-floor space, and deliver reliable data without slowing production.
