Client:<\/strong>
\nA leading printing company in Taiwan that focuses on delivering high-quality custom printing solutions for a wide range of products.<\/p>\n

Application:<\/strong>
\nAutomated visual inspection for printed fan products.<\/p>\n

Challenge:<\/strong>
\nThe printing company faced critical assessment challenges in their production line, particularly for inspecting printed fans. While their loading and unloading processes are semi-automatic, inspection still remains a manual task, leading to inefficiencies in quality control. The primary issues included:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Inconsistent Manual Inspection:<\/strong> The existing inspection process relied on human inspectors, making it difficult to detect minor deviations and ambiguous defects. The manual process was both time-consuming and challenging since human inspectors are prone to fatigue. As a result, non-conforming products occasionally slipped through, leading to customer complaints and negatively affecting brand reputation and production quality.<\/li>\n
  2. Defective Adhesive and Misalignment:<\/strong> Printed materials on the fans occasionally failed to adhere correctly or were misaligned, resulting in defects.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Solution:<\/strong>
    \nTo overcome these challenges, TM AI Cobot was introduced to perform an AI-powered visual inspection solution using the TM5-900 cobot model. This setup was designed to automate and enhance the accuracy of the inspection process.<\/p>\n

    AI-Enhanced Visual Inspection for Printed Fans<\/strong>
    \nThe solution utilized the cobot combined with a semantic segmentation function to ensure precise identification of defects. The system worked as follows:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Automated Inspection Process:<\/strong> Fans were placed on a conveyor, where sensors triggered a camera to capture images for AI-based analysis. The circular light beside the fan ensured optimal lighting conditions, enabling the system to accurately detect defects such as adhesive failures or misalignment.<\/li>\n
    • Efficient Detection and Filtering:<\/strong> Using AI inspection, efficiency was increased by 5 times with a 100% recall rate. False positives were minimized through a filtering mechanism based on area and score thresholds, ensuring accurate and reliable defect detection.<\/li>\n
    • Consistent and Fast Processing:<\/strong> Each fan was inspected in approximately 0.5 seconds, maintaining a consistent cycle time and improving overall efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \"\"

      Results:<\/strong>
      \nThe deployment of Techman Robot\u2019s AI visual inspection solution led to substantial improvements for the client. Key benefits included:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Increased Inspection Accuracy:<\/strong> The precision and recall rates ensured that all defective products were effectively identified, reducing the chances of flawed items reaching customers.<\/li>\n
      2. Enhanced Operational Efficiency:<\/strong> Automating the inspection process allowed for a consistent cycle time of 0.5 seconds per fan, streamlining quality control and minimizing the need for manual labor.<\/li>\n
      3. Improved Brand Reputation:<\/strong> By reducing defects and maintaining high product quality, the client was able to enhance customer satisfaction and protect its brand reputation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Through this collaboration, the printing company successfully addressed its quality control challenges, setting a benchmark for efficient and reliable inspection solutions in the printing industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
