The True Cost of Manual Inspection in Manufacturing
How Much is Manual Inspection Really Costing You?
For decades, manufacturers have relied on manual inspection to maintain quality standards, but this approach is riddled with hidden costs, inefficiencies, and risks. Research shows that 68% of factory defects are caused by human error, leading to billions in product recalls, production slowdowns, and compliance challenges.
Key insights from this whitepaper include:
The financial toll of manual inspection Labor costs are rising, with QC inspector salaries averaging $89,000 per year in the U.S. Meanwhile, defective product recalls cost companies millions in lost revenue and brand damage annually.
The productivity trade-offs Human inspectors identify only 85% of defects on average, leaving manufacturers exposed to rework, waste, and reputational risks.
The regulatory and compliance risks In industries like medical device manufacturing, a single product defect can lead to legal action, severe penalties, and patient safety concerns.
