This article provides an overview of the evolution of the product quality and measurement inspection procedure with emphasis on the Reconfigurable Inspection System and Machine. The major components of a reconfigurable manufacturing system have been examined, and the evolution of manufacturing processes has been briefly discussed. Different Reconfigurable Inspection Machines (RIMs) and their arrangement in an assembly line as an inspection system have been carefully studied and the modern inspection system equipped in RMS has been compared to the traditional techniques commonly used in inspection of product quality. A survey of evolving inspection techniques is offered from the standpoint of technological challenges and advancement affecting manufacturing over time. As per authors' knowledge, the review on Reconfigurable Inspection in Manufacturing and taxonomy of reconfigurable inspection systems is rare. Considering the studies done in this domain, there is still resourceful taxonomy for this paradigm. Therefore, different types of inspection procedures have been discussed, their features and applications have been compared to arrive at the taxonomy of the RIS based on the understanding of the nature of a RIS after a critical review.
