Overview
Developed inspection equipment capable of inspecting with the same speed and accuracy as human inspectors.It is a high-return investment and a major step towards factory automation.
Challenge
Visual inspections are physically demanding for inspectors, and the inspection results are highly variable.
Benefits
・Successfully reduces annual costs by approximately 83%
Solutions
・Succeeded in automating a series of processes from transportation to inspection of the workpiece by cooperating robots and AI inspection equipment.
・Taking images of the defective area is now possible
