How a Growth-Stage Technology Company Built Unit Inspection Where a Technician's New Defect Joins the Catalog

Agents photograph every unit crossing the three lines, thread each frame onto the unit that was under the lens, and hold any unit whose frames the light ruined. Nothing waits on a person here. A unit with no usable frame is never passed as good; it goes to the hold bench unscored, with its frames attached.

Agents check all four frames of every unit, measure each mark against the tolerance its position allows, name each defect against the catalog, and judge the unit pass, fail or unsure. Nothing waits on a person here. A mark the catalog cannot name is never guessed into a category; the unit goes to the bench marked unsure.

Agents build the case for each held unit, its frames, its measurement, the nearest catalog matches and what similar units got, then draft a recommendation and wait. This is where a person works. A held unit leaves the bench only with a decision recorded against its frames, and a new defect gets its name from the person who calls it.

Agents track failures across every line, machine and hour, trace each cluster back to the minute it started, and page the person the roster puts on that line with the evidence. This is where a person decides. The agents call the drift, and the person calls the stop, because a stopped line costs the shift.

Agents reconcile every imaged unit against a verdict, a bench decision or an open hold, draw where the shift's defects landed, and propose the changes that would have caught each repeated miss. A person accepts or rejects each change. What the check fails a unit for is not something an agent tightens quietly.
