AI-Based Quality Control in the Electrical Industry

Maddox AI can be used to optimize and automate a wide range of visual inspection tasks in the electronics industry.

Maddox AI automates, optimizes, and digitizes visual inspections for electronic components, including circuit boards, connectors, cables, and electro-hardware. Traditional inspections are often combined with QR and barcode scanning to guarantee 100% product traceability.

Companies in the electronics industry face increasing cost pressures

False Rejects Cause Unnecessary Costs

The electronics industry already operates with high scrap rates. If defect-free components are mistakenly rejected, scrap rates rise further, driving up production costs.

Customer Complaints Lead to Massive Costs - Up to Relationship Termination

Even low-cost electronic components often play a critical role in the final product. Defective parts not only generate high costs but also pose a serious risk to customer relationships.

Traditional Camera Systems Often Fail

Conventional inspection systems in the electronics industry struggle with high production variability, leading to increased maintenance, false rejects, and, in the worst case, expensive customer complaints.

“Maddox AI supports us in meeting the high quality standards of the automotive industry. Since we started working together, there hasn’t been a single customer complaint about the inspected connectors.”
