Automating Micro-level Vehicle Defect Detections

Remotely Configurable Quality Checks

Our AI-based cloud computing platform for the automotive industry offer flexible AI-powered defect inspection solutions deployed using a bespoke rig that can be implemented at the quality control station. This automotive AI solution provides intelligent and accurate real-time micro-level defect identification for virtually all automotive component manufacturing assembly operations. The retrofit solution ensures minimum disruption to the existing assembly line operations, and the AI-based vehicle defect detection is tailored to match the speed of the production line.

Precise micro-level defect inspections.

Quality checks at a micro-level are easily achieved using computer vision and deflectometry (pattern recognition) technology. An RGB-based vision algorithm is used for colour mismatches, and a unique deflectometry algorithm is used to identify dust-in-paint, orange peels, parting lines, and minute scratches, ensuring a micro-level product quality check of the highest order. The inspections provide unique digital signature analytics to visualise data, making it faster to respond to issues and more accessible to identify enhancements.

Real-time pass/fail integrated workflow.

The AI-based vehicle defect detection platform deliver better quality and efficiency by ensuring real-time pass/fail control to optimise the process. These processing, analytics, and control functions are remotely configurable, providing centralised distributed operations management. These capabilities can help component suppliers reduce costs and downtime in production lines while delivering better-finished products.

Making Your Brand Synonymous with Quality

CamCom is the first company to use artificial intelligence (AI) in the automotive industry in the form of deep learning computer vision and associated technology, including deflectometry (pattern recognition) analysis powered by deep learning ML models, for OEM end-of-line defect identifications.

Automating micro-level defect inspections.

An automotive AI-powered visual inspection platform that provides real-time micro-level defect detection for automotive end-of-line inspections. The real-time visualisation process guarantees precise inspection reports at each stage. The deployment uses bespoke rigs to ensure inspection accuracy and reduce false positives without any impact on production. The vehicle diagnostics with AI algorithm solution distinguishes an actual defect from an acceptable variation, maintaining an efficient production flow while identifying micro defects with 99.97% accuracy early in the process.

The platform utilises state-of-the-art machine vision cameras. Sometimes, up to 18 cameras or more are used, and almost 8000 images are captured in the time it takes for each product to move through the rigging tunnel. The car defect detection process is synchronised to the pre-defined assembly line speeds. The captured images are stitched together to give real-time results with 99.97% accuracy and a defect identification accuracy of up to 50 microns. The impossible accuracy levels are achieved in the controlled environment using learnings from processing over 500 million images yearly.

Predictive analysis for operational effectiveness.

Along with computer vision, a unique deflectometry technology is used to take advantage of the highly reflective surfaces. With an optimised solution, we have reduced the hardware cost considerably, ensuring low CAPEX, and our pay-per-inspection per-month model ensures lower OPEX load. The predictive analysis in-built layer wraps up the perfect quality inspection, resulting in an enhanced quality product with zero chances for recalls and improving your brand reputation.

Defect identification accuracy of up to 50 microns.

The AI visual inspection solution can identify micro-level defects up to 50 microns and analyse the root cause to determine the issues upstream, helping prevent costly product recalls. The bespoke rigs mandate little or no change to the existing workflow, and the real-time inspections can match the speed of the production line. The rigs can be retrofitted over fully automated and integrated conveyor systems, ensuring high throughput and consistently delivering objective, precise, and measurable results at minimum CAPEX. The software is deployed at the edge to automate the micro-level defect inspections.
