Customer Request

Our customer manufactures over 50 variants of highly complex punched parts for safety-critical applications. Quality control was still performed entirely manually. Up to 30 employees inspected around 2,400 components per day under a microscope. Despite their experience, misclassifications occurred regularly: good parts were rejected, and defective parts were passed as OK.

The result: customer complaints, re-sorting actions, and high internal costs.

The goal was a fully automated solution that could be seamlessly integrated into the existing handling system while delivering maximum precision.
