AI-Powered Manufacturing Quality Control System
Achieving 99.8% defect detection accuracy while increasing production speed by 50%
Business Challenge
A major manufacturing company was struggling with quality control issues that were causing production delays, increased costs, and customer dissatisfaction. Their manual inspection process was time-consuming, inconsistent, and unable to detect subtle defects, resulting in both quality escapes and excessive rejection of good parts.
Key Challenges:
- • Slow and inconsistent manual inspection process
- • Inability to detect subtle defects at production speeds
- • High rate of false rejections wasting good materials
- • Production bottlenecks due to inspection time
- • Increasing quality requirements from customers
- • Difficulty maintaining consistent quality standards
Our AI Solution
