Run a mini FMEA on a vision station

An edge vision station inspects food-package seals at 80 units per minute. Lab accuracy is strong, but condensation and vibration appear during real production shifts. FMEA: function -> failure mode -> effect -> detection -> mitigation The common shortcut is to write 'model may be wrong' and jump to retraining. That skips the effect, detectability, and non-model causes that determine the real risk. Function State the function in operational language: detect cracked or incomplete seals before the package leaves the inspection cell. A clear function prevents vague failure modes. The system is not just 'classifying images'; it is protecting outgoing…
