Challenge

High Volume and Variation of Defects

HDD mounting brackets are prone to numerous defects during production, ranging from surface damage to incorrect shape or size. The vast variety and volume of these anomalies make precise identification challenging during manual inspection. Subtle defects, which are difficult to detect, can lead to assembly issues, such as misalignment with other components.

Solution

Enhanced Defect Detection with AI

SolVision’s segmentation tool leverages AI to improve the visual inspection of HDD mounting brackets. The system can quickly and accurately identify defects regardless of size, appearance, or variation by training an AI model to recognize various defect types based on shape. This advanced detection capability maximizes production throughput and ensures higher quality standards in electronics.

Outcome

Improved detection accuracy
Increased production throughput
Higher quality standards
