End-of-line inspection for automotive manufacturing.
Surface defects, dimensional checks, and sub-assembly completeness on stamped metal parts, plastic trim, and finished components. Designed to support IATF 16949 nonconformance documentation.
The cost of an escape multiplies at every tier
A surface scratch on a stamped door panel that passes end-of-line QC at a Tier 2 supplier costs $30 to fix at the supplier. The same part that reaches the OEM assembly line costs $300 to rework. If it makes it into the vehicle and reaches the customer, the cost per unit exceeds $300K when warranty, field service, and brand impact are included.
Cleveland's manufacturing ecosystem — home to OEM assembly plants and Tier 1–2 suppliers across Cuyahoga and Lake counties — runs this supply chain daily. Eolvision was built in this environment.
Quality standard context: Eolvision inspection records are designed to support IATF 16949 Section 8.6 (control of nonconforming outputs) and Section 8.7 (customer escape reporting) documentation requirements. Not a compliance claim — a system designed with those controls in mind.

The math on automotive escape prevention
Cost per defective automotive part that escapes to the field (warranty + field service + brand impact).
Eolvision prevents escapes at the end-of-line station, before the part ships.
Reduction in escape rate achieved by automotive suppliers after deploying automated end-of-line inspection.
Based on plant benchmark data from automotive stamping and assembly operations.
