PDA 593.1 Fundamentals of Automated Visual Inspection

Online
Ask a Question

This live eLearning training course will provide a basic understanding of the automated visual inspection (AVI) process and technology. Participants will learn how the capability of AVI process is dependent on the equipment, development and validation processes, as well as discuss the advantages and disadvantages of AVI technology. During this training course, participants will evaluate validation strategies to determine which approach to use under given circumstances. A case study will also be discussed.

This training course is an excellent opportunity to discuss questions that you have and to interact with others who are facing and overcoming the same inspection issues.
