The "Dream and Reality" of Automated Visual Inspection

In a factory with advanced automation, the visual inspection process is clearly not automated.
For many manufacturers, automation of visual inspection is definitely a "dream" technology.
In fact, research and development has been conducted by industry, academia, and government for more than 20 years.
Many visual inspection systems have been developed and introduced into the field.
This much is undoubtedly true.
However, the reality of those visual inspection systems is...
I believe that some of them are in operation, but all I hear is that they are not at a satisfactory level.
If it takes hours to set up, it would be faster to have a person do it.
If there are items that cannot be inspected, the entire inspection has to be redone in the end.
Although the number of visual inspectors could be reduced, skilled personnel who could handle the inspection equipment were needed.
Considering the investment, it was better to use human tactics....
Even now, automatic visual inspection is a "dream" technology.
Including major companies, they advertise and promote it with catches like "it's not a dream anymore.
Perhaps it is inevitable because it is "company policy.
However, it is not a dream anymore,
Neither the developers of inspection equipment nor the
Sales representatives of inspection equipment
and maintenance staff of inspection equipment
and those in the field who operate inspection equipment on a daily basis
I think everyone is already aware of it.
It is really a dream...
Manufacturers sell "dreams" and users buy "dreams".
That is the current state of the industry.
However, the buying and selling of "dreams" surely exhausts the people involved in it.
Manufacturers should make their "dreams" into "reality" and show them to users.
Users should be aware that it is a "dream" and judge the "reality.
Otherwise, unnecessary investments will be repeated and product quality will deteriorate.
I know I am probably the only one who says this.
But someone has to speak up...
