Addressing manufacturing defect challenges
During the manufacturing process, components frequently experience defects such as groove depths that fall out of tolerance. Identifying these defective parts requires precise inspection to prevent them from advancing to subsequent production stages. Inaccurate detection processes result in scrapped parts and considerable inefficiencies.
The negative consequences of these quality challenges include high costs associated with scrap and rework, as well as operational bottlenecks. Businesses face lost revenue and reduced throughput when defective components are not caught early, highlighting the need for highly accurate and reliable inspection methods.
The quality assurance solution
Operations can seamlessly transition from reactive defect detection to proactive quality control. The 3D Altiz Scanner, Mobile Computers, and Fixed Industrial Scanning work together to deliver higher-quality products and reduced scrap and rework costs. This approach builds quality into every step of the process to provide tangible results.

How the solution works
Identifying defects with precision
Precise detection begins when components are evaluated on the production line. The AltiZ Series High-Fidelity 3D Profile Sensors perform a comprehensive 3D inspection to detect groove depths that are out of tolerance. This high-resolution capability is highly effective for identifying defective parts before they proceed further.
Monitoring operations in real time
Following the initial inspection, workers need immediate access to the results. Mobile Computers provide on-the-go visibility, allowing personnel to receive real-time data regarding the defective parts that must be scrapped versus the approved components. This mobility empowers teams to maintain continuous and efficient production workflows.
Validating labels for shipment
As approved components are prepared for shipment, barcode and label accuracy must be verified before they leave the facility. Fixed Industrial Scanning automatically validates barcode and label data against shipping requirements, helping confirm that each component is correctly identified, routed and documented. This consistent data capture supports reliable traceability and helps reduce shipping errors before components move downstream.
Strategic value of proactive quality control
Investing in proactive quality control delivers improved process control and minimized financial losses from scrapped components. Operations achieve a more resilient and efficient manufacturing workflow with measurable improvements in overall product quality.
