Today’s manufacturers face new challenges every day trying to maintain quality in a world where new products and technologies evolve virtually by the minute. It is no longer reasonable to rely on a sluggish quality inspection process--a look at any number of recent product recall events demonstrates just how flawed this “after-the-fact” approach has become. Undetected quality issues slipping by on a regular basis opens a Pandora’s Box of disastrous fallout implications later.

Consider the crucial advantage that can be attained when comprehensive monitoring of quality is performed in real-time, right on the production line and the production team members are fully involved. Some of the benefits outlined in this whitepaper include:

• Continuous automated quality checks
• Trend analysis
• Quality is measured, assured, and maintained
• Preventing unscheduled downtime and lengthy back-tract investigations
