Evidence stage
CapabilityA demo, benchmark or paper shows the task can be done. Updates what the technology can do — not what employers will do.
Tasks this bears on
Inspecting parts
Measuring parts with gauges, probes or coordinate measuring machines and correcting the machine when they drift out of tolerance.
Being augmented≈ Platform inference
Where this applies
Poland, a production environment. The study evaluates a procedure for measuring pitch diameter with a touch-trigger probe on the CNC machine tool: the error spread was about ±0.015 mm, within the manufacturing tolerance of ±0.07 mm, and the authors call the method reliable for production use, though automatic correction routines may need minor adjustments. One thread type on one machine family.
What this means
Checking parts can move onto the machine itself, cutting trips to a separate measuring room.
What it does not yet show
One feature type on one machine family; it does not show how widely shops measure on the machine.
What you can check
Open PubMed 42590370 (Materials, 2026) and find "reliable for production use".
Does it change the assessment?
No — and this stage does not move it either. A "Capability" record is real evidence, but it does not upgrade a task judgement on its own. The 1 linked judgement above stand where they were.
