In this series, we’ve already discussed the archiveability and auditability of Computer Aided Inspection (CAI) -based inspection.  Gauge R&R studies demonstrate that CAI incorporates minimal operator-dependent error.

Modern CAI practices allow manufacturers to trace measurements to a precise date, time, and employee.  This results in a new level of accountability for engineering data.

Even better, CAI makes it possible to trace failures to their root causes quickly and effectively.  When manufacturers are able to find the cause of process failures quickly, they can alter their processes equally quickly – saving time and money.

Computer Aided Inspection (CAI) tools save comprehensive surface data, instantly.  Every Structured Light Metrolgy (SLM) scan clearly and precisely demonstrates a part’s (or thousands of parts’) dimensions at a given process stage.

By using checksums and digital signatures, you can make your CAI data immune from tampering.  Manufacturers are discovering that by securing CAI data into a database that cannot be changed once logged, they can have incontrovertible evidence of a watertight quality system.

For the first time, thanks to CAI, you can prove that every surface point of your product was within spec at every point during manufacturing, allowing you to quickly and incontrovertibly dispatch regulators’ questions.
