On the production floor, time is money, so we have put together a list of the greatest inspection needs when focused on helping protect the bottom line.

This list of “necessaries” include:

Auto-focus. Built-in Autofocus capability eliminates manual time increase spent getting the image in optimized focus.
Automation workflow options. In addition to Auto-Focus, Auto-Test, Auto File Naming, and Auto-Save after Test are crucial for keeping times down.
Single report for multiple tests. The ability to create groups of tests that can be displayed together in one consolidated test report increases efficiency.
Single test for both inspection and power measurement. The ability to create a certification report for both connector end faces and optical loss is crucial for industry standards.

Remember that contamination is the #1 cause of troubleshooting in optical networks and ensuring the cleanliness of fiber optic connectivity is essential whenever fiber is handled.
