As manufacturing moves towards intelligent and large-scale operations, higher demands are placed on the automation level, inspection accuracy, data management capabilities, and ease of operation of inspection machines. Existing dimensional inspection machine control methods suffer from several core flaws: First, insufficient data transmission security; inspection data is vulnerable to network attacks when interacting with remote servers, and the lack of a dedicated secure communication architecture leads to a high risk of data leakage or loss. Second, poor ease of operation; reliance on traditional buttons or touchscreens results in sluggish response times for parameter queries and anomaly handling in complex inspection scenarios, and insufficient flexibility to adapt to the operational needs of different roles. Third, separation of inspection and authorization verification; focusing solely on workpiece dimensional inspection without verifying user identity, increasing the risk of unauthorized operations leading to distorted inspection data or equipment malfunction.

Analysis Unit: Based on the size matching result and identity matching result, perform comprehensive analysis and processing to obtain the final detection result: If the identity matching fails, the detection process is prohibited from continuing and a "no operation permission" prompt is displayed; if the identity matching passes, the complete result of "workpiece size qualified + permission verification passed" or "workpiece size unqualified (out of tolerance) + permission verification passed" is output in combination with the size matching result and synchronized to the remote data management server module for storage.
