摘要:In today’s fast-moving world, the manufacturing industry must keep up with evolving trends. One such trend that has greatly impacted the manufacturing industry is called Industry 4.0 and is regarded as the fourth industrial revolution. In this revolution one important aspect is that of quality. This paper makes a comparative study between tactile and optical measuring machines in the context of Industry 4.0. As the manufacturing industry must be more flexible and solve problems in a timelier manner, it is important to identify the right technologies appropriate for quality control.
