Total savings / year
Our customer manufactures high-quality dental implants for medical use. Until now, visual inspection was carried out manually by two employees in a single-shift operation, five days a week. The implants were checked visually for defects such as scratches, foreign particles, damage, or discoloration.
Despite great care, subjective judgment, visual strain, and fatigue led to misclassifications: OK parts were rejected, while defective parts could potentially be shipped.
The goal was to make surface inspection more precise and consistent through automation.
Manual visual inspection by 2 employees in single-shift operation
Subjectivity and fatigue led to pseudo-scrap and customer complaints
No customer complaints since the installation of Maddox AI
No new staff could be recruited for manual inspections
| Automated inspection provides planning reliability, ensuring parts can continue to be produced in Europe |
The printed circuit boards were inspected manually in three shifts with a total of six employees. The detection accuracy varied depending on the inspector.
Due to the faulty assembly of printed circuit boards, the production was carried out with an excessively high reject rate.
Since the inspection results were not digitized, no regular structured root cause analysis was performed.
All products are inspected 100% automatically according to a precise defect definition. The inspection system is operated by one employee per shift.
Since installing Maddox AI, the scrap rate has been reduced by 25%.
Thanks to the digitalized inspection process, process optimizations could be realized (e.g. direct feedback loop for machine setting).
Digital traceability
Customer complaints
Planning reliability despite skilled labor shortages
