Overview
A major automotive components manufacturer relied on manual dimensional checks during receipt inspection.
The process was slow, operator-dependent, and introduced variability in measurement accuracy and calibration frequency.
We replaced the manual sequence with an automated, camera-driven measurement system that converts part images into filtered, structured data suitable for metrology workflows. The system validates dimensions, flags exceptions, and sends structured outputs into existing QA and material receipt workflows.
The result is a highly consistent dimensional metrology pipeline that operates with near-perfect uptime and delivers real-time measurement events.
What we did
- Camera-based dimensional metrology
- Image filtering & feature extraction
- Automated measurement workflows
- Exception handling & validation logic
- Operator HMI & QA dashboard
The automated metrology workflow significantly reduced measurement delays and eliminated repeated calibration issues. It has made our receipt QA flow dramatically more reliable.
Plant QA Head
- Fully autonomous Offline Inspection to help you clear the most stringent Certifications.
- 50 µm Accuracy
Technical summary
- Image Structuring: Part images processed into filtered, structured representations for metrology use.
- Automated Validation: Dimensional checks and feature detection run through a streamlined logic pipeline.
- Workflow Integration: Measurement results mapped into MES/ERP events for receipt QA decisions.
- UX Layer: Operator dashboard with visual overlays and measurement history for investigations and audits.
Outcome
The automated receipt QA workflow delivered 99.8% measurement uptime, a 40% reduction in operator-driven checks, and a 2× faster measurement cycle time.
This shifted dimensional metrology from manual verification to a fully automated, repeatable, and audit-ready process.
