Customer Request

Our customer produces packaging foils that are visually inspected several times a day. The existing inspection system operated reliably under normal conditions but was prone to malfunctions. In the event of a breakdown, deliveries came to a standstill, resulting in high risk costs.

The goal was to permanently secure inspection reliability, avoid failures, and modernize the visual inspection process—without disrupting the ongoing production flow.

Before

Previous Inspection System

After

With Maddox AI

The existing inspection system had only limited failure tolerance, where even minor malfunctions or defects could cause significant disruptions in the inspection process.

AI-based solution that ensures consistently high inspection quality while maintaining stable production processes, enabling smooth deliveries.

System failures led to immediate production stoppages and delivery delays.

By implementing the Maddox AI system, production risks in the event of technical failures can be significantly reduced.

Vorher

Vorheriges Inspektionssystem

Es wurde manuell in drei Schichten mit insgesamt sechs Mitarbeitenden kontrolliert. Die Erkennungsgenauigkeit variierte je nach Kontrolleur:in.

Durch das fehlerhafte Bestücken von Leiterplatten, wurde mit einer zu hohen Ausschussquote gefertigt.

Da die Prüfergebnisse nicht digitalisiert waren, wurde keine strukturierte Ursachenanalyse für die Produktion von NOK-Teilen durchgeführt.

Nacher

Mit Maddox AI

Alle Produkte werden 100 % automatisch nach einer präzisen Fehlerdefinition geprüft. Die Bedienung der Prüfanlage erfolgt durch einen Mitarbeitenden pro Schicht.

Seit der Installation von Maddox AI wurde die Ausschussquote um 25 % reduziert.

Dank des digitalisierten Prüfprozesses konnten Prozessoptimierungen realisiert werden (z.B. direkter Feedbackloop zur Maschineneinstellung).
