Quality inspection at a packaging plant
Cameras above the conveyor check every unit and signal the line to reject the faulty ones.
The challenge
Inspectors check samples by eye, and at full line speed some defects slip through to customers. Returns are expensive, and their causes are hard to trace.
The solution
- 01
Mount cameras and lighting above the conveyor and collect images of good and faulty units.
- 02
Train detection for the agreed defect types and run it on a computer at the line.
- 03
Send a reject signal to the line and log every defect with its image, for later analysis.
