Continued improvements in technology allow manufacturers to automate some inspection tasks, which should increase quality control inspectors’ productivity. As a result, reduced demand is expected for some quality control inspectors.
Despite technological advances in quality control in many industries, automation cannot replace all tasks that inspectors do. Inspections and testing validation will continue to be needed for many products, including those that require testing for taste, texture, or performance.
