## Summary

Scott Everett, Co-Founder and CEO of Eigen Innovations, explains how his company uses industrial vision systems and AI to transform manufacturing quality control from reactive, destructive testing to proactive, insight-driven decision-making. He argues that while IoT infrastructure for data capture is mature, the industry struggles with 'insight architecture,' requiring contextualized data to provide explainable stories that empower non-technical operators to make real-time adjustments. Everett highlights specific applications in the automotive sector, such as ensuring the hermetic seal of vehicle headlights, where 100% inline inspection replaces random sampling to achieve zero-defect manufacturing.
