Congratulations to the winner of the Quality Caption Contest! See who won and what the winning caption is.

Explore some introductory, practical considerations on how to bring a visual AI to routine manual visual inspection.

AI is transforming manufacturing, with major companies enhancing quality and smaller firms like Composiflex Inc. reducing inventory and improving delivery through business intelligence. With 72% of manufacturers using AI reporting cost reductions and increased efficiency, these tools present essential growth opportunities in the face of evolving supply chain risks.

The trends in machine vision indicate a growing need for systems that can manage increased variability, function autonomously, and operate in sectors that have traditionally depended on manual inspection.

3D measurement technology has advanced rapidly, especially in digitization and automation. New scanning equipment and powerful evaluation tools enable quick and accurate handling of complex measurement tasks. Measurement accessories like sublimating scanning sprays and reference points are crucial for achieving efficient and reproducible results.

Why is external evidence provision so painful? And how can companies leverage AI to bridge the divide?

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing patient safety and tackling labor shortages in medical manufacturing. As quality engineers adapt, the emphasis on quality assurance and specialized inspections intensifies. This editorial explores how AI is transforming processes and building trust in the medical device industry.

To tackle a workforce crisis, the manufacturing sector is embracing digital twins and AI-driven simulations to attract new talent and enhance skills. Companies like Ford and Boeing are leading this shift, using innovative training tools to improve efficiency and close the skills gap.
