Edge Computing

Requirement:

The company’s manual inspection team struggled to maintain accuracy as production volumes increased. Errors in identifying minor defects such as scratches, misalignments, or dents affected product quality and customer satisfaction. The client required an automated visual inspection system that could operate at high speed and consistency across production lines.

Solution Delivered:

We designed a computer vision–based defect detection system using CNN models trained on thousands of labelled product images. High-resolution cameras captured each product in real time, and the model flagged defective items for immediate removal. The solution is integrated with the client’s MES system to generate live alerts and performance reports, ensuring continuous improvement in the manufacturing workflow.

Results:

The client was able to get the following results –

The AI-powered inspection system reduced human error, improved process efficiency, and set new quality standards for the client’s production lines.

Accurate defect detection:The system identified flaws undetectable through manual inspection.
Real-time monitoring:Defects were flagged instantly, preventing faulty items from moving forward.
Improved production flow:Automated checks accelerated quality control without slowing manufacturing.
Cost efficiency:Reduced rework and waste, leading to significant savings in resources.
Scalable integration:The model could easily adapt to new product lines and inspection points.
