With the application of new technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence (AI), the dividends of technological development have gradually entered the field of production and manufacturing, and some time-consuming and repetitive tasks have become the first choice for artificial intelligence replacement.
As an important part of quality inspection, appearance inspection plays an important role in manufacturing. Using AI equipment for appearance inspection can not only save a lot of labor costs, but also improve inspection quality and inspection efficiency.
As the world's leading overall solution provider for the Internet of Things, in order to further guarantee the appearance quality of Quectel's modules, antennas and other products, Quectel continues to strengthen the construction of smart factories, relying on its own advantages in research and development, technology, etc. AI visual inspection system, which has been implemented in Quectel's Changzhou smart factory.
With the support of AI, the efficiency of industrial inspection has been greatly improved
Appearance inspection is an important part of product quality inspection. The main purpose is to identify product appearance defects, such as pits, cracks, stains, gaps, burrs, air bubbles, uneven colors, etc., to find and remove defective products in time.
Traditional appearance inspection generally adopts the method of manual naked eye recognition, which will undoubtedly consume a lot of labor, and due to the existence of personal subjective factors of the inspector, the inspection standards will not be completely consistent. Fatigue, misjudgment and misjudgment may occur, and the accuracy rate is difficult to guarantee.
Quectel's AI visual inspection system can operate 24 hours a day without interruption according to the quality inspection standards entered in advance. Compared with the traditional appearance inspection method, the inspection efficiency is increased by 8 times. It can also record inspection data in real time and trace products digitally. quality. With the continuous learning and training of AI equipment, the accuracy of detection has been continuously improved. In 2000 samples, the correct rate reached 99%, which is higher than the industry average of 95%.
Currently, the AI visual inspection system applied to Quectel's Changzhou factory is running stably in accordance with strict quality inspection standards. When the module enters the visual inspection system, the visual inspection equipment first identifies the coordinates and information of the product, and checks the legality of the information, and then performs surface inspection and flatness inspection. Qualified products automatically enter the next process. Unqualified products with defects such as oxidation, exposed copper on the PCB, damaged half-slot holes on the pads, tin stains, and pits will be captured to the defective product line. The entire process is completed by the equipment itself without manual intervention.
High-performance AI module empowerment, with obvious competitive advantages
When inspecting the appearance quality of products, AI visual inspection equipment needs to upload and compare information such as ultra-clear pictures and flatness of products in real time, and quickly draw conclusions and respond, which affects the edge computing capabilities and communication performance of the equipment. Has higher requirements.
Quectel visual inspection equipment has a built-in Quectel AI intelligent module SG865W-WF, which is equipped with Qualcomm SoC chip QCS8250, which has powerful performance and rich multimedia functions. It integrates eight-core high-performance Kryo 585 CPU, Adreno 650 GPU, Hexagon DSP and Spectra 480 ISP adopt 7nm process technology, and the comprehensive computing power is as high as 15TOPS, which can fully meet the computing power demand of visual inspection equipment.
At the same time, SG865W-WF has rich peripheral interfaces, not only supports Wi-Fi 6.0 and Bluetooth 5.1 communication, but also can realize seamless connection with Quectel LTE module EC20, 5G module RG500Q, etc., ensuring the AI visual inspection equipment network The high-speed and high-reliability of the connection can complete the detection work accurately and efficiently.
In addition, the Quectel AI visual inspection equipment based on the SG865W-WF module has outstanding competitive advantages. It not only has powerful edge computing and communication capabilities, but also can help customers further optimize the cost of factory intelligent upgrades, so as to maximize the protection the interests of the client.
Wide range of uses, unlocking more value
The use of Quectel’s AI visual inspection equipment has realized the use of machines to replace manual product appearance inspections, solved the problem of rising labor costs, and greatly improved inspection efficiency, providing strong support for building a more efficient intelligent inspection production line. The intelligentization of industrial production has played a driving role.
Quectel's AI visual inspection system is compatible with the product inspection requirements of various industries, and can quickly realize differential customization. At the same time, Quectel has self-developed algorithm capabilities, and can preset algorithm models including surface classification detection, object recognition, OCR recognition, etc., and is not restricted by hardware brands, and can flexibly adapt to various hardware platforms.
Based on the above advantages, the Quectel AI visual inspection system can use the AI model to perform high-precision detection of target objects or target features, and has a wide range of uses. In addition to product appearance quality inspection, the system can also be applied to object recognition, object classification, OCR recognition, etc., allowing AI technology to empower more scenarios such as cargo sorting, inventory counting, foreign object detection, commodity classification, character detection, etc. Improve detection efficiency and detection accuracy. In the future, with the acceleration of the intelligentization process in all walks of life, Quectel's AI visual inspection system will release more value.
