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.

Customer Request

Our customer produces up to 3,000 cartridges per day. Here, especially the cartridge tips need to be checked. Before using the Maddox AI system, this was done manually by two employees per shift. Depending on the shift and personnel, the sorting accuracy varied considerably.

Maddox AI has developed a semi-automatic inspection device that uses two cameras to inspect the cartridges from the top and focus on the tip. The system detects contaminations, burrs and cracks, among other things.

With Maddox AI

The cartridges were checked manually in three shifts by a total of three to six employees. The detection accuracy varied depending on the inspector.

All products are inspected 100% automatically according to a precise defect definition. The inspection system is operated by one employee per shift.

The plant received an average of two customer complaints per year, which had to be manually rechecked.

No further customer complaints have been received since the installation of Maddox AI.

Since the inspection results were not digitized, no regular structured root cause analysis was performed.

Thanks to the digitized inspection process, the production scrap rate has been reduced by 20%.
