Quality inspection and defect detection

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.

1. 1

   Trigger

   Component enters inspection station

   RFID or barcode scanner detects fabricated component arrival at quality inspection station. Work order data is retrieved from JobBOSS to identify component specifications.

2. 2

   Action

   Retrieve CAD specifications

   System pulls original CAD model and dimensional specifications from SolidWorks or AutoCAD based on work order. Reference tolerances and quality requirements are loaded for comparison.

3. 3

   Action

   Perform 3D scanning and imaging

   AI-powered vision systems and 3D scanners capture detailed measurements and surface imagery of the fabricated component. Multi-angle photographs and dimensional data are collected.

4. 4

   Action

   Compare against CAD model

   AI algorithms compare scanned data against original CAD specifications from SolidWorks or AutoCAD. Dimensional variances, surface defects, and weld quality are automatically analyzed.

   Decision

   Evaluate quality compliance

   System determines if component meets quality standards based on tolerance analysis and defect detection results. Components are classified as pass, fail, or requiring rework.

6. 6

   Action

   Update production records

   Inspection results, defect locations, and quality scores are automatically logged in JobBOSS. Non-conforming components trigger rework orders or scrap notifications.
