# What will AGI do for Reduce Scrap And Rework?

## Overview

Manufacturers lose direct margin to scrap and rework when production runs drift out of tolerance. Plant managers and quality engineers discover defective parts during end-of-line inspection, long after the line consumes raw materials, machine hours, and labor. Reworking these parts forces expensive secondary operations, while unfixable units destroy material yield entirely.

The problem persists because factory floor variables shift constantly during operation. Subtle changes in tool wear, ambient temperature, spindle vibration, and raw material density interact dynamically to push machinery out of its ideal operating window. Because operators rely on static machine setups and periodic manual spot-checks, the production line runs blind between physical inspections.

Existing Statistical Process Control systems fail to prevent these defects. They apply rigid, single-variable thresholds to historical batch data and generate alerts only after a parameter is breached. These tools cannot model the complex, real-time sensor relationships required to intervene and adjust machine parameters before the material is physically altered.
