Along with the increasing customer requirements for automobiles, the rough management mode of some enterprises runs counter to the automotive industry’s emphasis on the production concept of zero defects, and the International Automotive Action Group released IATF 16949: 2016 “Quality Management System for Automotive Production Parts and Related Services Organizations” in October 2016 according to the changes in the internal and external environment. Promoted by all circles, the standard is now widely used not only as a standard for the automotive industry, but also fo......

What sets on-site inspection from others is the place it takes place. What is on-site inspection, how to prepare it, and what’s the difference between on-site and off-site inspection? What is On-Site Inspection On-site inspection refers to a physical examination of a location, typically in reference to industrial or construction sites, to assess compliance with regulations and standards, or to evaluate the progress and quality of work being performed. Common Types of On-Site InspectionBuilding inspections (construction, safety, code compliance)Environmental inspections......

The first article inspection is important to avoid or reduce quality issues in manufacturing. However, why, when, and how to do the first article inspection? What is First Article Inspection? First Article Inspection (FAI) is a quality assurance process where a sample product from a production run is thoroughly examined and measured to verify that it meets specified design requirements and engineering drawings. The purpose of FAI is to identify any deviations from the design, ensure that production processes are capable of producing conforming parts, and establish a baseline fo......

Quality inspection is essential for ensuring the use effect of products. Today we’ll cover the basics of product inspection, including purposes, methods, conduction steps, and more. What is a Product Inspection? Product inspection is the process of evaluating the quality, functionality, and compliance of a product to industry standards and customer requirements before it is released to the market. What are the Purposes of Product Inspection? Quality control: to ensure that the product meets established standards and customer requirements for quality and functionali......

Mistakes and failures are possible to happen in quality inspection. Let’s figure out the common inspection failures, as well as the causes and methods to solve them. What are Common Inspection Failures Non-conformance to specifications or standards. Poor workmanship or manufacturing defects. Incorrect or incomplete documentation. Lack of control over raw materials or suppliers. Failure to follow established processes or procedures. Poorly maintained equipment or tools. Insufficient training of personnel. Failure to conduct inspections at appropriate ......

How to conduct sampling inspection is a very important issue in promoting quality control. This is because this system determines the level of value delivered to customers. Therefore, this time, we will talk about the relationship between the AQL (Acceptance Quality Limit) of Sampling Inspection and Inspection Level, which is important for quality control, and the points to be observed when deciding the quantity. AQL and Inspection Level in Sampling Inspection In promoting “manufacturing”, it is important to prevent defects from flowing out by building quality ......

Automation is defined as “the deployment of automated processes through technology that monitors and manages production and product shipments,” and is now an irresistible trend for manufacturers. Automation has come so much in the last decade that there’s no industry that hasn’t embraced it. Companies operating in the aerospace, defense, and industrial gas turbine industries are increasingly focusing on viable solutions for fast and accurate inspection of complex parts such as castings in the manufacturing process. How can manufacturers identify casting in......

We were able to inspect the high-precision stands used to transport the cab to other production plants, submit deviation reports to customers in real-time, and make better decisions by estimating the cost of multiple repair measures. Challenge: How to safely transport the cab from one production plant to another in an automated loop fashion? If the cab and chassis are made in separate factories, then the manufacturer uses stands (skids that fix the cab at 4 points) for their transfer. Therefore, in order to hold and maintain the cab safely, both the cab and the stand must ......
