Quality 4.0 Changes the Future of Automotive Body-in-White Inspection

The automotive industry is preparing for Industry 4.0 rollouts by making large-scale changes to all of their processes, from design and engineering to production and aftermarket. The method of dimensional inspection, on the other hand, is still largely traditional, especially in the body-in-white (BIW) phase. Higher demands on production efficiency are causing inspection to evolve from a pass-or-fail function to one that controls and regulates the manufacturing process.

Frost & Sullivan’s latest thought leadership paper, Quality 4.0: A Paradigm Shift of In-line Inspection in Body-in-White, highlights the key trends influencing automotive BIW and the importance of reimagining dimensional inspection processes. This white paper aims to draw the industry’s attention toward the need for a new vision for quality in automotive production against the backdrop of Industry 4.0. Quality 4.0 refers to the paradigm shift of dimensional inspections from a mere qualifier of quality compliance to one that controls and regulates the manufacturing process.
