Automated inspection refers to the use of technology, such as cameras and sensors, to examine products or materials for quality and defects without human intervention. This process often employs software algorithms to analyze images and data, ensuring that items meet specific standards and specifications. By implementing automated inspection systems, industries can increase efficiency and accuracy in quality control. These systems can quickly identify issues, reduce human error, and streamline production processes, ultimately leading to cost savings and improved product reliability. Common applications include manufacturing, food processing, and electronics assembly.
