Increasing Importance: Over the decades, inspection has become a more critical business process by moving from just Quality Assurance (QA) to overall Process Management (PM)

Unmet Need: Inspection is a bottle neck in most of the manufacturing processes due to lack of automation, duration of inspection using current technology, many parts being not suitable to be inspected with contact inspection, and other limitations
