Check placement at the inspection point

An item can be the correct type but sit outside its intended location. A validated visual comparison can flag a candidate placement error, with physical tolerances and downstream suitability confirmed through the appropriate engineering method.

Confirm detector support, camera suitability and the proposed event workflow before deployment.

The Process

How It Works

Review position against a defined reference Help operators investigate placement that may affect the next process step.

01

Set the placement reference

Use the approved fixture or process position.

02

Validate the comparison

Test normal variation and relevant placement errors.

03

Review the candidate offset

Check camera alignment and product presentation.

04

Confirm the correction

An operator follows the approved positioning procedure.

ObservationThe visible location of a product or component relative to a reference area.Visible facing, rotation or directional features of a product.
Event criteriaA supported position comparison falls outside the validated permitted region.A supported comparison indicates a mismatch with the expected orientation.
Monitoring setupDefine the reference, permitted variation and inspection timing.Define permitted rotations, variants and distinguishing features.
What it cannot establishImage coordinates do not establish physical tolerances without calibration.Symmetric or hidden features may make orientation impossible to determine from one view.
Practical outcomeHelp operators investigate placement that may affect the next process step.Help teams catch orientation mismatches before assembly, packing or transfer.

What Can You Do With Incorrect-position detection?

01 / 04 · INCORRECT-POSITION DETECTION

Assembly

A part may sit outside the intended seat.

Example event: The visible location differs from the reference.

Operator response: Inspect seating and reposition under the work instruction.

Practical value: Focus a placement check.

Frequently asked questions

Incorrect-position detection, Explained.

Compare a visible product or component location with a defined permitted position.

Does it measure millimeter offsets?

Only if a calibrated method has been separately validated.

Is position the same as orientation?

No. An item may occupy the right place while facing the wrong way.

What if the fixture moves?

The reference must be revalidated or reliably located by a supported method.

Does correct position prove correct assembly?

No. Other assembly and functional requirements remain separate.
