For most companies and industries, quality control is one of the most crucial parts of the manufacturing process. When a single small production error can result in massive company losses, it’s clear that investing in better quality control systems isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.

While taking a non-automated approach to quality control may initially appear less costly, the reality is that non-automated systems are only somewhat reliable and require a sizeable human workforce to manage, increasing costs.
