Customer Request

Our customer produces cast parts for industrial machinery, where even the smallest surface defects can cause functional or visual problems.

Manual visual inspection by employees is prone to error: good parts are rejected, and defective parts pass inspection — caused by production fluctuations and subjective evaluation. The result: scrap, additional costs, and customer complaints.

Goals: Automate visual inspection, achieve more consistent inspection quality, and use digital evaluations for process optimization.

Up to 9 employees per day were responsible for quality control, resulting in high manual effort and associated costs.

Quality inspection is now almost fully automated, significantly reducing manual effort and greatly increasing inspection efficiency.

High scrap rates and recurring customer complaints.

Thanks to the accuracy of the Maddox AI system, there have been no further customer complaints to date.

No digital recording of defect data for process optimization.

Maddox AI’s quality analyses help identify production patterns that cause defects at an early stage, thus reducing scrap.
