Automatic Optical
Inspection

AOI is used to ensure the highest quality in manufacturing. Machine vision is used to identify even the smallest of defects or anomalies in every single component manufactured, as well as anomalies in the manufacturing process. The application of AI to anomaly detection ensures high accuracy inspection at maximum machine speed, thus enabling highest productivity without compromising on quality, consistency, and customer satisfaction. The benefits are two-fold:

• Identify defects and anomalies in real time and alert, to prevent shipment of defected products and guarantee customer satisfaction and higher revenue
• Track patterns in machine performance to identify anomalies and deterioration and trigger preventive maintenance, before it impacts production quality

The ability of Hailo’s AI processors to perform video analytics in high accuracy at a very high frame rate guarantees quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) do not prevent machine from running at full capacity

AI is leveraged to replace manual labor to finely distinct and sort items per type, size, shape, color and quality. AI-powered machine vision enables higher granularity for correct classification.

The Hailo AI processors enable high resolution, which leads to higher accuracy and higher productivity, resulting in lower error rates and less human labor to manually replace or correct false sorting.

Hailo also enables operation at higher speed removing the analytics bottleneck and allowing the machine to run at full capacity, leading yet to higher efficiency and productivity.

Machine vision algorithms based on deep learning are opening up exciting new ways to make manufacturing more flexible. AI-powered optical character recognition (OCR) offers remarkably fast read rates, on endless types of fonts, characters, numbers and figures, even with fonts that are otherwise difficult to recognize.

High-performance deep learning algorithms require a powerful processor. Yet, implementation in an edge device also makes power consumption a critical issue. Today’s machine builders need not just consider the computing speed but also power efficiency, and that is where Hailo comes in.

In addition to world class performance, the Hailo AI processors also offer a remarkably low power consumption. Hailo’s powerful AI processors enable industrial manufacturers to benefit from the advantages of the deep learning technology without having to sacrifice performance and productivity.

AI plays a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency and precision of pick and place applications that involve AOI. In such applications, AI-driven systems utilize advanced computer vision algorithms to analyze visual data from cameras and sensors. These systems can swiftly identify and record defects or irregularities in component or product placement, ensuring that only high-quality items are picked and placed in a proper way in the manufacturing process.

The Hailo processors enable high-performance video analytics at high speed, allowing rapid processing of vast amounts of visual information and making real-time decisions, resulting in seamless automation, reduced error rates, improved production speed, and ultimately elevated productivity and product quality.
