Case Study
Weld Seam Inspection
Problem Statement
An automotive manufacturer was experiencing high levels of defects in weld seams during the production process. These defects were affecting the quality of the final products, leading to increased rework, higher production costs, and delays. The manufacturer required a reliable solution to detect and inspect weld seams automatically, ensuring consistent product quality while improving production efficiency.
Challenge
- Manual analysis of medical images is labor-intensive and susceptible to inconsistencies.
Diagnostic delays often occur due to the lack of skilled radiologists and the increasing volume of medical imaging data.
- Detecting subtle anomalies in images like X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans requires advanced expertise, making it challenging to maintain consistent accuracy.
- There was a need for an automated, real-time diagnostic tool to support healthcare professionals in decision-making.
Solution Provided
An AI-based weld defect detection system was developed to capture, analyze, and identify defects in real-time on the production line. Utilizing a convolutional neural network deployed on an NVIDIA Jetson Nano, the system efficiently classifies defects, integrates with monitoring systems for automatic flagging, and continuously improves through ongoing data feedback.
Development Steps
