Customer Request

Our customer coats around 15,000 magnetic switches every day. Quality control is currently carried out manually by four employees. Despite their great care, subjectivity and fatigue lead to misclassifications, resulting in unnecessary scrap, higher costs, and customer complaints.

Our goal:
To integrate fully automated quality control into the existing robotic system.

Before

Previous Inspection System​

After

With Maddox AI

Manual visual inspection by four employees.

The fully automated inspection system was integrated directly into the existing robotic cell.

Misclassifications due to subjective assessments and operator fatigue led to scrap and potential complaints.

85% reduction in false rejects and missed defects.

Inspection results were not digitized, preventing structured root cause analysis for the production of NOK parts.

Thanks to the digitized inspection process, process optimizations could be implemented (e.g., direct feedback loop to machine settings).

Maddox AI enables complete weld seam inspection on rainwater downpipes without having to rotate the component. This transforms the previously sample-based inspection into an efficient, automated process with high defect detection rates.
Maddox AI enables the reliable automation of surface inspections for metal objects, accurately detecting defects such as scratches and dents.
With Maddox AI, the visual inspection of dental implants is now fully automated. Critical defects such as foreign particles, scratches, or signs of corrosion are reliably detected to ensure the highest product quality and patient safety.
