Our customer produces more than 20,000 connectors per day across multiple production lines. Typical defects include inclusions in silicone seals, bent pins, incomplete overmolding, foreign particles, burrs, and rough surfaces. The customer approached us with two major pain points: Quality inspection previously relied on a combination of automated top-view inspection using a Keyence vision system and subsequent manual visual checks under a magnifying glass performed by an external sorting service provider. This approach was highly labor-dependent, time-consuming, and therefore prone to errors. The startup process of the injection molding machines resulted in initially high scrap rates. The subsequent adjustment process took too long, leading to a significant number of parts being scrapped and causing high follow-up costs. To meet growing production volumes while reducing scrap costs and customer complaints, the company decided to fully automate inspection with Maddox AI.
