Customer Request

Our customer produces many kilometers of medical tubing every day in a 3-shift operation, whereby quality control was previously carried out manually by two employees per shift, who mainly check the tubing for bubbles by touch.
With the introduction of Maddox AI, the inspection was fully automated. Defective components are now reliably detected and ejected automatically without the need for employees to carry out the inspection.

Before

Previous Inspection System

After

With Maddox AI

The medical tubes (5 different variants) were tested manually in 3 shifts by a total of 6 employees.

All product variants are now inspected 100% automatically. Employees are no longer required for inspection.

As the test results were not recorded digitally, there was no structured root cause analysis for faulty (NOK) parts.

Thanks to the digitalized inspection process, the reject rate in production has been reduced.

On average, the plant received 5-10 customer complaints per year, which led to re-sorting actions and quality measures.

There have been no more customer complaints since the installation of Maddox AI.
