In the fasteners industry, quality controls of screws is a crucial activity for operators.
While manufacturing operators generally control screws during work-in-progress execution and at end-of-process, those operators in the supply channel need to guarantee inbound and outbound compliance to the nominal screw specifications.
The high volume production together with the high variety of screw models generally result in a demanding condition for any operator in this industry, due to complexity of controls and consumption of time to execute the measurements.
