Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized industries worldwide. One of its most important applications is in industrial visual inspection. Visual inspection tools for the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) automate and improve defect detection and component verification.
Unlock Manufacturing Excellence
with AI in Industrial IoT
Quality control methods that rely on manual inspections and processes are time-consuming and prone to errors. In contrast, AI-powered visual inspections can:
- Automatically detect defects
- Verify parts assembly
- Improve safety compliance
AI visual inspection systems use advanced machine learning algorithms to analyze images and detect anomalies. Compared to manual inspections, AI visual inspection platforms provide higher accuracy and speed.
Simplify AI Visual Inspection Deployment with No-Code Interfaces
Visual inspection solutions empower manufacturers with a no-code, user-friendly interface. They can build inspection models in a few clicks. Training these models to recognize defects and patterns requires annotated images to create a file that can infer real-time results. Once trained, these models can execute workflows, issue corrective actions and log results in real time.
In addition, these no-code interfaces make deploying industrial visual inspection solutions fast and easy, only taking a few hours. These tools allow users to:
- Create visual models
- Define inspection rules
- Configure application logic with simple point-and-click actions
Companies can rapidly implement visual inspection solutions without extensive programming expertise. With one-click installation scripts, these platforms can be deployed on various systems. These range from on-premises, enterprise-grade servers to cloud platforms or edge devices like NVIDIA® Jetson® boards.
Enable Device Compatibility
AI visual inspection systems support and integrate seamlessly with devices, such as:
- Industrial cameras
- Robotics systems
- Tablets
These tools also communicate with relational databases and business systems (e.g., SAP and IBM Maximo). This ensures that data flows smoothly between operational processes and enterprise management.
Elevate Product Quality
AI can transform quality assurance by:
- Detecting defects in real time
- Verifying correct and proper parts installation
- Identifying worn or damaged components
These systems can inspect products at various assembly stages and flag issues before they become problems. They also perform energy loss inspections using infrared cameras, contributing to operational efficiency.
Keep Workers Safe and Optimize Logistics
Beyond quality, AI visual inspection systems are crucial for safety and logistics as they can:
- Identify spills
- Ensure compliance with safety protocols
- Detect people in restricted zones
- Verify inventory accuracy
- Ensure proper kit assembly
- Provide real-time feedback to operators, highlighting areas for training and improvement
Scalable Solutions for Every Use Case
AI-powered visual inspection platforms adapt to varying needs. Their adaptability enables them to scale from handheld devices to large enterprise-grade servers with GPUs. This makes them suitable for companies of all sizes, from small businesses to global enterprises.
