Quality control is an essential tool for creating a high-quality product and thus essential for the success of the organization. One of the technologies still developing today in the field of quality control is machine vision, which can give the company a competitive advantage and provide a better product. For this reason, Company M wished to explore the possibility to incorporate machine vision technology in one or more of their production phases, as a defect detecting method. In order to explore this option, two research questions needed to be answered: Can machine vision improve quality inspection? How can we utilize machine vision in the inspection process of company M? To answer these questions, there was a need to first research and understand in depth the concept of quality management, the different costs associated with it, the international standards for quality management ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949: 2016 and the quality tools that can be used in the process. It was important to find out what are the quality measuring and inspection tools that are used in the metal part production industry, and from that focus on applications of machine vision. At the same time, it was imperative to also understand the different technologies in company M and locate which process or processes will benefit most from applying the machine vision inspection. After inspecting the different solutions machine vision system can offer in the field of quality control, it was found that the technology available can be used to improve the quality process of deep drawing and laser cutting technology, as well as aid in the washing process and part picking. While other processes can also benefit from this solution in the future, these processes, when improved, will advance quality control in the company. A table was composed to show the different defects and how they can be detected with the different technologies, also a list of important considerations was given for the process of choosing the technology supplier for a machine vision system.
