Jabil enhances manufacturing quality control with AI-driven automation
Use case typeManufacturing quality monitoringUpdated Jun 13, 2026
Jabil, a global manufacturing company, faced challenges with traditional, manual quality control processes that were slow, inconsistent, and prone to errors. To address these issues and optimize product quality, Jabil implemented an AI-powered quality control system powered by Microsoft technologies. The solution utilizes Azure AI Vision for automated visual inspection across multiple production lines, enabling real-time and objective defect detection. Automated defect alerts and corrective workflows were set up using Power Automate. The integration of Dynamics 365 provided end-to-end data visibility across production, quality, and management domains. Copilot is leveraged to assist production teams with decision support and troubleshooting in real time. These technologies together reduced manual errors, increased the speed of inspections, and helped to identify root causes of recurring defects. The new system enabled a scalable, reliable, and repeatable quality control standard across Jabil's factories. It also allowed Jabil to shift from reactive to proactive maintenance, supporting continuous improvement and compliance.
