Client presentation
A prominent player in the North American market, our client produces medical implants. Their metal prostheses are shiny and reflective, making inspection challenging due to stringent quality standards, FDA regulations, and the limitations of manual inspection on sensitive parts.
Quality at the center of concerns.
Manual inspection of mirror-polished parts by the client’s operators led to inconsistencies, frequent rework, and bottlenecks. Paper-based quality tracking resulted in errors, lack of traceability, and data storage difficulties. The client needed to automate their quality process.
The client's objectives
Automate 100% of the inspection of shiny metal prostheses.
Ensure 100% traceability of inspected parts.
Facilitate mirror-polished part inspection without manual handling.
Standardize quality control to reduce operator judgment discrepancies.
Comply with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 for uniform use of computerized systems.
The solution: Spark Multi View
To achieve these goals, Scortex implemented its AI-powered automated inspection solution, Spark Multi View, featuring 2 cameras:
Combined the two cameras with a deflectometry solution for inspecting reflective parts
Developed an offline control station with a rotating platform
Implemented a casing to control lighting conditions
Presented high-quality information in an easily understandable format for operators
Delivered deployment support through a dedicated Customer Success team
The Results
100% automated quality inspection
Streamlined inspection process with automaticpart rotation
Reduced rework by 33%
Achieved 100% traceability of inspected parts
Time saving by streamlining processes.
"We are pleased with Spark Multi View’s performance, especially in reducing rework, and plan to deploy it across other mirror-polished product lines”
