Discovery questions for the conversation
- Which surface defects cost you the most today?
- How do you prove a finish met spec after the fact?
- Where does lighting variation hide defects?
Which inspection station should we map first?
The goal is to identify one station where this could matter — then validate with your approved parts and criteria.
