No one wants to spend time making scrap, and automation is one way to avoid or at least minimize quality issues. Rather than spending time making products that aren’t up to specification, operators will make good parts and catch quality issues earlier. Automating your measurement process can solve challenges on the shop floor—not simply in the lab—and streamline the manufacturing process.
While it does offer a range of benefits, automation may require a shift in mindset, according to Brian Johnson, automation product sales manager at ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions.
