Customer Request

Our customer produces SiC rings for use in industrial machinery. The components were previously inspected manually by 12 employees in a single-shift operation, five days a week.

The inspectors were responsible not only for visual inspection but also for rework and packaging of the components. Despite the team’s extensive experience and diligence, manual inspection was time-consuming and prone to errors.

The goal was to automate the visual inspection to relieve inspection staff, enable more targeted rework, and ensure measurable quality, especially with larger production volumes.

Before

Previous Inspection System​

After

With Maddox AI

Twelve employees per day were responsible for quality control, resulting in high manual effort and associated costs.

Quality inspection is now fully automated, significantly reducing manual effort and greatly increasing inspection efficiency.

Detection accuracy varied depending on the inspector, leading to a high false reject rate. 

Thanks to the accuracy of the Maddox AI system, the false reject rate has been reduced by around 50%.

Since inspection results were not digitized, planning rework was difficult. 

Thanks to the digitized inspection process, rework can now be targeted based on the detected defects.
