Smart manufacturing had a high impact in recent years within the inspection and quality assurance processes, providing innovative technologies machine learning. Consequently, article presents systematic review of applications automation to statistical control companies industrial sector, deriving subtopics such as artificial vision, intelligent manufacturing, different production neural network...

PURPOSE The article summarises the process and the results of the first, integrated inspection of managed care services for people with learning disabilities in Scotland. The multi-agency model used was developed to be congruent with the existing performance inspection models, used by single agency inspection. The inspection activities and main outcomes are described, and suggestions are made f...

wheel-set is an important part of EMU. It directly influences the EMU operation security. In recent years, some harmful circumferential and radial defects are found in the wheel rim, which occur between the periods of two light maintenances. The comprehensive security system of wheel-set has already built in china to guarantee the EMU maintenance quality and operation security. It consists of r...

Inspection Policy: There is an inspection calendar which covers the entire power distribution network in a period of 10 years, which is based in periodical inspection activities that take place at one, two, five and ten year intervals Usually there are 25 thousand orders to repair potential failure built based on the company inspection calendar and recorded system In order to assure the quality...

A procedure for selecting an optimal NDI (non-destructive inspection) technique and associated schedule for fracture-critical member inspections on a specific steel bridge is presented. Information related to the probability of detection (POD) function (a measure of inspection quality) of alternative NDI techniques is utilized. Calculations based on use of the POD function together with Monte C...

An ergonomics improvement study was conducted on the visual inspection process of a printed circuit assembly (PCA) factory. The process was studied through subjective assessment and direct observation. Three problems were identified: operators' eye problems, insufficient time for inspection and ineffective visual inspection. These problems caused a huge yearly rejection cost of US 298,240 dolla...

Research in aircraft inspection and maintenance has revealed the criticality of human inspection performance in improving aviation safety. If we are to provide the general public with a safe and reliable air transportation system, inspection must be performed effectively, efficiently and consistently. Even though it is difficult to eliminate errors completely, continuing emphasis must be placed...

The usefulness of advanced machine vision techniques for automated inspection is restricted by long development cycles for the inspection software and a lack of general applicability of the resulting system. These difficulties arise because in the majority of cases the particulars of the inspection are embedded in the software structure resulting in severe restrictions on user reconfiguration. ...
