QUALITY CONTROL
AI Quality Control & Surface Defect Detection
Final-product inspection
Quality Control inspects the finished product at the end of the line with cameras. Label, surface, assembly and packaging checks come together on the operator screen; every decision is logged.
This line is final-product inspection — not a production-planning or process-optimization tool.
How does camera-based quality inspection work?
A fixed camera with controlled lighting is placed at the inspection point on the line. Video is processed on an on-site Algi Edge device or on ALGI AI servers: labels and serial numbers are read with OCR, surfaces are checked for scratches, dents and missing parts, and assembly and packaging items are verified one by one. Every unit gets a pass/fail decision; a defective unit leaves the line through a reject signal to line control. Each decision is stored with the product image and a timestamp and goes into a batch or per-unit PDF report. The model is adapted with good and defective samples collected from your own line, not a generic list.
COVERAGE
Label and plate checks
Product labels, serial numbers and plate fields are verified; missing or wrong labels leave the line.
Surface and assembly inspection
Surface scratches, missing parts and assembly faults are flagged from camera.
Packaging integrity
Pre-shipment packaging and accessory checks; results land in a PDF report.
VIN / serial reading
Chassis and serial numbers are read and matched to the order record.
WHO IT IS FOR — Quality managers and production engineering — the team that will not let a defective unit reach the customer.
FROM THE FIELD
FläktGroup
OPERATIONAL CONTEXT
In air-handling-unit production, every unit passes a multi-point check before shipment.
PROBLEM
Checklists were processed by hand; missed items turned into cost after shipment.
DEPLOYMENT APPROACH
A multi-camera inspection station was installed at the end of the line; check items were defined as rules.
OUTCOME
Every unit gets a pass/fail state and a photo-backed PDF report; gaps are caught before shipment.
RUNNING TODAY
Running today: serial matching, label and assembly checks live on the line.
RELATED RULES FROM THE LIBRARY
FULL LIBRARY →RELATED SOLUTIONS
AI Surface Defect Detection
Surface defect detection flags scratches, dents and assembly faults on the line, so defective parts are rejected before they ship. Every decision is logged.
Label Inspection and OCR Verification System
Label inspection verifies serial numbers and expiry dates with OCR and rejects missing or wrong labels from the line. Each batch result goes into a PDF report.
Factory Vision and Manufacturing Video Analytics
Factory vision measures line stoppages, process compliance and shop floor order from your existing cameras, so downtime causes feed into OEE.
Foreign Object Detection in Food Production
Foreign object detection flags plastic, glass, metal shavings and hair on product surfaces on the conveyor from camera images, and rejects faulty items.
Frequently asked questions
- Which defects can AI visual inspection catch?
- Visible surface defects such as scratches, dents, burrs and colour deviation; missing parts and assembly faults; missing, unreadable or mismatched labels; packaging and accessory gaps. The defect classes are defined for your line and extended by adding samples of new defect types.
- Can we use our existing line cameras?
- Yes, if the camera sees the inspection point at the right angle and with the right lighting. In visual inspection, lighting often matters more than the camera; small defects need the part to fill the frame. Share the part type, smallest defect size and line speed and we assess fit before installation.
- Does it connect to the PLC and line control?
- Yes. The inspection decision goes to line control as a reject signal over dry contact or an industrial protocol, and a pusher removes the defective unit. The decision can also be reported only, leaving the reject to the operator. Reference values can come from your ERP or MES.
- How does deployment proceed?
- Camera and lighting are installed, then good and defective samples are collected from your line and the model is adapted to them. The system first runs in report-only mode; the reject connection is switched on once accuracy is confirmed on real production. Line speed and defect variety set the timeline.
- Are operators recorded?
- No. Inspection looks at the product; the system does not recognize or identify operators and keeps no per-person records. The stored image is the product's inspection frame.
