Zero Defect Ambition: How Technology Is Transforming Quality on the Factory Floor
Quality control is moving closer to the production process as sensors, machine vision, automated inspection and digital traceability make it possible to identify variation earlier. Metrology systems can measure components precisely while production data can reveal patterns that traditional inspection may overlook. This edition examines the technologies supporting modern factory quality and explores how manufacturers can shift from finding defects after production toward controlling processes continuously, improving consistency and understanding the conditions that influence product quality.
Editor's Note
Quality is most effective when it is created by the production process rather than inspected into the finished product. Technology is making that principle increasingly practical by providing greater visibility into machines, materials and process conditions. This edition examines how inspection, measurement, traceability and production data can work together to detect variation earlier and help factories move closer to the ambition of consistently defect-free manufacturing.
