Quality & Inspection · Powered by PLI Sorting
THIRD-PARTY
INSPECTION SERVICES.
You can't ship what you can't verify.
When you're not certain a lot is clean — incoming parts from a supplier, product from a line that drifted, or stock about to ship to your customer — you need a trained, independent set of eyes on it fast. And you need it without pulling your own inspectors off the work they're already behind on.

What We Do
INDEPENDENT EYES
ON YOUR PARTS.
PLI provides rapid-response, third-party inspection at your facility, your supplier's, your customer's location, or a PLI inspection center. Trained inspectors check parts against your criteria and hand you documented, defensible results you can act on internally and share with your customer.
Because we're independent, the data carries weight your customer will accept — and because we mobilize the same day, you contain the risk before it becomes a rejection or a line-down.
Independent results your customer will accept, documented the same day we mobilize.
MEASURED TO YOUR PRINT,
NOT TO OUR OPINION.
Every characteristic we check comes from your criteria — the print, the control plan, or a boundary sample you supply. Nothing is judged on feel.
Dimensions, visual standards and material all get recorded against the same document your customer will ask to see, so the result holds up when it's questioned.

Common Questions
WHAT BUYERS ASK
BEFORE THEY CALL.
What is third-party inspection?
Independent inspection by a provider outside your organization, so results are objective and acceptable to your customer.
How fast can PLI start?
Same-day mobilization; at locations we already support, typical containment is 2 to 4 hours.
Can you inspect at our supplier's site?
Yes, at your facility, your supplier, your customer's location, or a PLI center.
Do we get documentation?
Yes, counts, defect data, and disposition in a shareable reporting format.
What's the difference between inspection and sorting?
Inspection verifies whether parts conform; sorting separates conforming from non-conforming stock. Many projects use both.
Do you support automotive launch protocols?
Yes, including CS1/CS2, GP12, Ford Safe Launch, GM BIQS, and FCA 3CRP L2.
