Summary:Various examples include systems, apparatuses, and methods to perform an automated visual-inspection of components undergoing various stages of fabrication. In one example, an inspection system includes a number of robots, each having a camera, to inspect a component for defects at various stages of fabrication. Generally, each of the cameras is located at a different geographical location corresponding to the various stages in the fabrication of the component. At least some of the cameras are arranged to inspect all surfaces of the component that are not facing a table upon which the component is mounted. The system also includes a respective data-collection station electronically coupled to each the number of robots and an associated one of the cameras. A master data-collection station is electronically coupled to each of the data-collection stations. Other systems, apparatuses, and methods are disclosed.
