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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Inspection of Drain Pipes

Maddox AI enables complete weld seam inspection on rainwater downpipes without having to rotate the component. This transforms the previously sample-based inspection into an efficient, automated process with high defect detection rates and significantly reduced personnel requirements.
