Poka-Yoke Processes Deliver Superior Safety and Control

Poka-Yoke is a Japanese term translating to ‘error proofing’, and refers to processes designed to prevent specific defects. The term applies both to tracking the physical pieces produced, and the automatic manufacturing operations. This in-process verification system prevents personal injury, protects machines, and prevents faulty products from reaching customers. Hard gages and virtual condition gages provide inspection and verification of process-critical features for Poka-Yoke, including go/no go stages, non-cleanup verification, and size verification and feature presence.
