Spark reduces subjectivity on complex inspection of shiny parts
100%
of defective categories are detected
30 to 5 seconds
is the inspection time reduction reached
Client presentation
Supplier of gold metallized parts for the luxury industry, our Italian client is an expert in the highest quality requirements. Metallization or varnishing of parts makes it possible to offer finishes and surface conditions resembling metal
Quality at the center of concerns.
The parts are removed from the surface treatment bath supports and inspected by quality controllers.
Even with qualified operators, visual defects slip through, risking significant financial impact if not quickly detected. In addition, the gray area of acceptable limit parts is complex to formalize, whichmakes over-quality frequent (acceptable parts thrown away).
A robust solution for inspecting complex parts was needed that could be tested at an offline inspection station and then integrated into a sorting machine.
The client's objectives
Ability to inspect 4 sides of parts
Reduce control time from 30s to 5s per part
Remain a leader in quality while reducing the cost of control
Guarantee a high quality rate on a new critical high-volume business
Cover a broad spectrum of products with a system to optimize return on investment.
The solution: Spark Multi View
To achieve these objectives, Scortex implemented its automated quality inspection solution with AI, Spark Multi View, equipped with 4 cameras:
Associate the 4 cameras with a coaxial light
Create an offline control station
Report quality information in a way that is easily understandable by the operator
Define part positioning tooling constraints (3D printing)
Deployment support from a dedicated Customer Success team
The Results
100% categories of defects are detected (black spot, run, scratch, lack of surface treatment, friction, whiteout, etc.)
Rapid rise in autonomy, creation of control program by the user one day after installation
Gradual reduction of the gray area thanks to the rapid learning from errors functionality
Control reports are available in real time, images are stored allowing traceability of the quality delivered
Reduction of inspection time to 5 seconds / part
“There is no need to double-check products at the end of the line, as we can eject defective products at the source as soon as they are detected. The parts that arrive for packaging are all good quality, we can see the difference.”
Alan, Technical Director
