Systems and methods for providing part quality confidence

Abstract:

Systems and methods for part quality confidence are described. In some examples a part quality confidence system may receive inputs (e.g., via sensor measurements, operator input(s), etc.) related to one or more stages of a part assembly process. The inputs may be representative of certain feature characteristics of the part and/or one or more of the assembly stages. A computational engine of the system may determine one or more quality characteristics of the part based on the feature characteristics, and assign a quality metric to the part (and/or part assembly process) based on the quality characteristics. In some examples, a quality rating may be assigned to the part based on the quality metric, so as to provide an even simpler abstraction.
