Deep Learning based pipeline for anomaly detection and quality enhancement in industrial binder jetting processes
This work addresses quality control in additive manufacturing for automotive components, but it is incremental as it applies existing deep learning concepts to a specific industrial domain.
The paper tackles the problem of anomaly detection in industrial binder jetting processes for quality enhancement, presenting a deep-learning-based image processing pipeline that integrates domain randomization and synthetic data to address the challenge of absent labels, showing promising results.
Anomaly detection describes methods of finding abnormal states, instances or data points that differ from a normal value space. Industrial processes are a domain where predicitve models are needed for finding anomalous data instances for quality enhancement. A main challenge, however, is absence of labels in this environment. This paper contributes to a data-centric way of approaching artificial intelligence in industrial production. With a use case from additive manufacturing for automotive components we present a deep-learning-based image processing pipeline. Additionally, we integrate the concept of domain randomisation and synthetic data in the loop that shows promising results for bridging advances in deep learning and its application to real-world, industrial production processes.
