Our customer inspects various screw heads for cracks and other surface-level irregularities. The previously used rule-based camera system led to increased false rejects, additional manual re-sorting effort, and inconsistently stable inspection decisions due to changing surfaces, reflections, and production-related variances. The goal was to reduce false rejects, significantly ease the burden on re-sorting, and establish a clear OK/NOK logic. At the same time, the inspection had to be reliably integrated into the existing production line process within a cycle time of 250 ms. With Maddox AI, different screw types are now inspected automatically and robustly without affecting production cycle time.
