What is + Smart AI (Deep Learning)?

kmV's +Smart AI Vision Systems employ Deep Learning based vision tools to inspect your products.

Deep learning is a type of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) that imitates the way humans gain certain types of knowledge.

Deep learning-based image analysis combines the specificity and flexibility of human visual inspection with the reliability, consistency, and speed of a computerized system. Deep learning-based software can now perform judgement-based challenges more effectively than humans or traditional machine vision automation.

Advantages of +Smart AI Tools Over Standard Vision Tools

While standard vision tools definitely have their place, Smart AI tools offer a lot of benefits that standard tools can't offer - especially when it comes to label and code inspections.
Standard Vision Tools

Today’s standard vision tools utilize Rules-Based Programming to enable them to carry out inspecting products.

Current vision tools need to be trained following very strict parameters to work properly.

 

  • Defect HAS to be in a defined area
  • Defect HAS to be of a defined intensity
  • Defect HAS to be of defined size

Because of these strict parameters, rules-based vision tools may need to be tweaked throughout a production run to accomodate variations that occur in the manufacturing process.

Current vision tools try to put strict rules around randomness.

+Smart AI Tools

New AI vision tools utilize Learn by Teaching Programming to enable them to carry out inspecting products.

 

There are no set rules or preset parameters that the vision tools have to abide by.

 

AI vision tools learn in much the same way a human does.  To train AI vision tools, a library of “good” images demonstrating acceptable manufacturing variances is run through the system. Through this training process, the AI system “teaches” itself what a “bad” label would look like.

 

+Smart AI tools adapt to the randomness always present in the manufacturing process.

Smart AI in Action

+Smart AI makes finding once difficult to detect flaws such as wrinkles, blisters and tears very doable - easily and reliably.

Like your best operator on their best day - every day!

Advantages of Deploying kmV's +Smart AI Tools

Higher Yield Rates

AI-based inspections are much more tolerant of normal variations in the manufacturing process than rules-based inspections. This means fewer false rejects and higher yield rates.

Easy Transfer of Ownership

Because AI-based vision tools adapt to the randomness always present in the manufacturing process, constant visits to the system to make adjustments are no longer necessary – freeing plant personnel to attend to other duties. These automatic adjustments make taking ownership of the system less intimidating because there’s no need for the average operator to have in-depth vision tool knowledge.

Makes Difficult Inspections Easy

With no set rules or preset parameters required, inspections that were once hard to reliably and consistently accomplish are now possible.
