Customer Request

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.
