Role of IEs in Quality - Not Appreciated

Contribution to quality by IEs through process improvement route is not well documented. It is not appreciated in quality related articles.

As part of process chart analysis, industrial engineers analyze inspection operations for effectiveness and efficiency. They ask the effectiveness question. Does the current inspection method have purpose? (ECRS). What else will improve #quality? They search for alternatives from up-to-date knowledge bases and brainstorming sessions. They design more productive inspection and quality assurance systems for each operation in the process.

Shigeo Shingo explained the IE's contribution to quality better in his book, Study of TPS from IE Point of View.
Shigeo Shingo's TPS Book and Other Contributions - Read Chapter Summaries

Process Improvement using engineering knowledge to reduce cost through increasing productivity of machines and men by reducing machine time and man time is the main activity of industrial engineering.

Many other disciplines help industrial engineers to achieve their objectives. But the main discipline that is the foundation for IE is engineering of products and processes.

Vicivision measuring machine helps tractor maker

Trenton S.p.A. is a manufacturer focused mainly on making parts for machines and tractors used for agriculture.
Trenton measures shafts with a Vicivision optical measuring machine.
The company uses an M2018 Techno with a touch probe to measure the many different parts made there.
Parts up to 1,500 mm in length are produced and inspected on the Vici machine (using) the touch probe to measure keyway slots and planes. This machine measures parts 2,000 mm in length and 180 mm in width, giving Trenton the versatility  in measuring the mechanical components they produce. According to the company, it can measure a part in 93 seconds,

Is it Possible to Measure Shaft, Form and Gear with an All-In-One Machine?
Do more with less — minimizing downtime for production workpiece measurements.
May 30, 2022
Patrick Nugent
Similar to an “All-In-One” printer/scanner/copier in a home office, a new class of production line quality machines is emerging that is designed to serve multiple functions without sacrificing quality. Using multi-sensor technology, the machine can obtain extremely accurate optical and tactile measurements for rotationally symmetrical workpieces in one setup. This multifunctional capability enables extreme flexibility in workpiece size and significantly increases productivity in the manufacturing environment.


Automated Machine Vision Systems from Augurai 


augurai team in collaboration with i6 Techlabs successfully built and deployed a challenging 360 inspection system of a cylindrical component using a single camera and state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms. 360 degree view was achieved with a single camera and without rotating the component. This was for a leading automotive component manufacturer for a POKA YOKE vision system in their their assembly line.

Manufacturer Reduces First Article Inspection Time by 98%.


The project is a changeover from machining a 12-cylinder block to a 16-cylinder block. It was necessary for the first blocks produced to have full-machined audits before the production of additional blocks was initiated. In the past, this process involved removing the block from the machine and transporting it to an inspection facility. The process of  inspection can take up to a shift to complete and in this setup has to be recalibrated to accommodate the new block.

This is where the FARO Gage delivered unprecedented performance, speed and accuracy as it was able to determine if the 16-cylinder block machine settings had been correctly adjusted from those required for the 12-cylinder block.

Improvement of Tire Inspection Operations


Tire Component Inspection
Ensuring the quality of each component in the tire manufacturing process is critical to the performance and safety of each tire produced. Traditionally tire component inspection has been a manual process relying on operators to make the determination if the component meets quality standards which can be time consuming and highly variable.

In our continued efforts to provide innovative solutions Bartell has created a full line of bead inspection systems. From mechanical measurement to advanced non-contact imaging our technologies provide the most accurate measurements available and include capabilities such as networking and data storage to provide easy statistical quality analysis and documentation.

Inspection Systems for the Tire Industry - Micro-Epsilon

Tire Manufacture
Inspection Process
Tires are checked to find cracks, distortions, etc. in the inspection process.

Tires are inspected by devices to measure balance, uniformity, etc. Only tires that pass inspection will be shipped out.



Tire Inspection Goes High-speed 3D
A typical 3D vision system uses laser triangulation to capture images by projecting a laser line across the surface of each target object while a high-speed camera captures an image of the laser line as an elevation profile.

Machine vision inspection system -  at a rate of hundreds of measurements per second,

Saccade Vision, an Israel based start-up venture, has developed an innovative three-dimensional machine vision solution for industrial dimensional inspection and vision guided robotics applications. The  solution includes  a unique smart hybrid 3D sensor and flexible and autonomous software. It works  the way human vision works, by selectively focusing on important information on the measured part. This  approach allows the Saccade sensor to perform highly precise and fast three-dimensional measurements and inspection with increased robustness on various materials and in different lighting conditions. The vision solution provides coordinate measuring machine (CMM) levels of precision, resolution, and robustness at a rate of hundreds of measurements per second, making it ideal for the inline process control.

Creative Solution Cuts Inspection Times by 85%

Inspections of one of the aircraft parts during inspections as part of aircraft operations were taking too long: Seven hours is spent to thread a camera inside the part and one hour to do the actual inspection. This long setup time for inspection is causing flight delays and is making the company’s airline customers unhappy.

An administrative assistant at the organization responded to the challenge for this inspection problem posted on the organization's website. She had recently seen the Tom Cruise movie, Minority Report. She  posted the idea: “Why can’t we send a robotic spider into the part, like it was shown in the movie?”

This idea created interest in the company’s chief technology offer, and a project was initiated. A miniature camera on a remote control was set on robotic legs and the robot was walked  into the part. The prototype worked successfully. It was further refined. Now the inspections take 85 percent less time than before.
