Electronic source inspection process

摘要

A method for verifying the quality of manufactured components by conducting manufacturing site inspections of components remotely from another site, such as a component integration site. Selected components are physically tested and digitally photographed at the manufacturing site and the resulting test reports and digital photographs are electronically transmitted to the other site. An inspector views the test reports and digital photographs, then generates an inspection report for transmission back to the manufacturing site. Upon receipt of approval of the tested and photographed components, personnel at the manufacturing site ship the components. Component inspectors are relieved of the burden of traveling to manufacturing sites and manufacturers do not have to delay shipment or further production while waiting for a physical inspection of components.
