01Cost comparisonAOI vs Manual Inspection: Where the Costs Actually Sit
Detection rates, fatigue research, machine pricing, and the break-even formula for deciding when automated optical inspection pays off on your line.
02OptimisationReducing AOI False Calls Without Letting Defects Escape
Why 30-80% of AOI calls are false, what verification really costs, and how to tune them down without opening defect escape paths.
