What happens if it’s missed
A wiring harness ships with one connector seated backward. It passes a quick glance and fails three stations later or after the customer already has it.
Inspect Sub-Assemblies
Catch a missing part or wrong kit before it reaches the next station.
A clip that’s missing, or a connector seated backward, usually isn’t caught until a customer complains. Scanflow checks surface condition, dimensions, part marking, presence and orientation on every sub-assembly not a sample pulled once a shift.

Why catching it here matters
Where Scanflow checks for it
Right where the sub-assembly comes together, checking every unit against what a correct one looks like not a sample pulled once a shift.
Inspection Capabilities
The five checks Scanflow actually runs
This is the stage manufacturing calls poka-yoke error-proofing an assembly against the mistakes that are easy to make and expensive to miss. It comes down to five checks, and Scanflow runs all five with one camera instead of a different fixture or gauge for each.
Surface Defects
Handling damage or a gasket not seated flush, caught on every unit.
Dimensional Measurement
Stack-up measured on the assembled unit, not just each part.
OCR
Part code read at kitting and matched to the build spec.
Presence & Absence
Every bolt and component counted against the kit spec.
Orientation & Alignment
A backward connector or upside-down bracket flagged on every unit.

Monthly searches for “poka-yoke” in India alone error-proofing is a widely taught, widely practiced discipline
1 part
Is often all it takes industry reporting notes a single missing hose or plug can stall a line or create a safety issue
New tooling
Is what traditional mechanical poka-yoke needs for every new part variant jigs and pins don’t generalize

Typical time to get Scanflow running on an existing sub-assembly line
Search volume from Semrush (India, monthly average). Industry consequence reporting from Quality Magazine’s coverage of assembly and kitting inspection. These describe the general practice of error-proofing in manufacturing, not a Scanflow-specific measurement.
Measurement & Inspection
A fixture for every part isn’t the same thing
Classic poka-yoke uses mechanical fixtures a jig, a pin, a shape that only lets the right part fit. It works, but every new variant needs its own physical tooling, designed, built and validated before it can catch anything.
- A physical jig or fixture built for each specific part variant
- A new variant means new tooling, designed and validated from scratch
- Catches presence and fit, but can't check surface condition or read a part code
- No image, no record just a part that either fit or didn't
- One camera trained on what a correct assembly looks like
- A new variant is trained by your own team in hours, not machined
- Checks surface, dimensions, marking, presence and orientation together, in one pass
- Every check leaves an image and a record, searchable later

QC AI Agent
Ask a plain question and get an answer from your own inspection data like 'which sub-assembly line had the most missing-part rejects this week.' No report to wait on, no dashboard to build first.
Auto-Annotation Tool
Your own quality team can train a new kit or variant in a few hours no data-science team, no waiting on a vendor, no new fixture to machine.
