AX Solution

Vision inspection

Zero-defect quality management completed by precise, vision-AI-based inspection

OVERVIEW

What the eye misses,a trained model sees the same way every time

From image capture through pre-processing and feature extraction to judgement and feedback, as one flow.

KEY FEATURES

Four capabilities that replace visual inspection

From surface inspection through defect detection and dimensional measurement to quality statistics.

Vision Capability

01 / 04

01

Automated visual inspection

It instantly detects minute defects with a high-performance vision system and deep-learning algorithms. By establishing a uniform quality standard with no variation between operators, it raises shipment reliability.

Management Scope

  • High-speed image processing
  • Full-inspection automation
  • Multi-angle camera control
  • Real-time judgment monitoring
  • Lighting and exposure optimization
  • Unstructured data collection

Real-time image capture

High-resolution cameras and optics capture surface images during production in real time

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

How it is built

Floor imagery gathered and learned, then returned as a verdict.

Advanced deep-learning technology overcomes the limits of visual inspection.

EFFECT

Business impact

What it leaves behind — in detection rate, misses, false rejects and inspection effort.

BUSINESS OUTCOME

Inspection results,turned into measurable results

FIND

Higher detection rate

High-resolution imaging and deep learning catch the fine defects the eye misses, and hold one standard with no drift between judgements.

Detection rate · judgement drift · defect size

MISS

Fewer misses

Every unit is inspected, so nothing slips through a sample, and a model per defect type learns the patterns that are easiest to miss.

Miss rate · full inspection · defect types

OVER

Fewer false rejects

The boundary that used to call a good part bad is re-set from data, so sound product stops being scrapped or re-run.

False rejects · thresholds · rework

TIME

Less inspection effort

Inspection staff move to higher-value work, and the time spent re-setting the line for a different item comes down.

Staffing · changeover · hourly output
