VizInspect Pro -- Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) solution
This addresses factory automation challenges by providing a more adaptable and user-friendly inspection system, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing edge AI platforms.
The paper tackles the inflexibility and scalability issues of traditional Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems in factories by introducing VizInspect Pro, a deep learning-based solution that enables rapid configuration without expertise and handles variations, validated by enterprise customers.
Traditional vision based Automated Optical Inspection (referred to as AOI in paper) systems present multiple challenges in factory settings including inability to scale across multiple product lines, requirement of vendor programming expertise, little tolerance to variations and lack of cloud connectivity for aggregated insights. The lack of flexibility in these systems presents a unique opportunity for a deep learning based AOI system specifically for factory automation. The proposed solution, VizInspect pro is a generic computer vision based AOI solution built on top of Leo - An edge AI platform. Innovative features that overcome challenges of traditional vision systems include deep learning based image analysis which combines the power of self-learning with high speed and accuracy, an intuitive user interface to configure inspection profiles in minutes without ML or vision expertise and the ability to solve complex inspection challenges while being tolerant to deviations and unpredictable defects. This solution has been validated by multiple external enterprise customers with confirmed value propositions. In this paper we show you how this solution and platform solved problems around model development, deployment, scaling multiple inferences and visualizations.
