WM introduces the AI-Powered Vision System (patent pending) by AUSIL Systems, Spain. This game-changing system enables the in-line automated inspection of the thermoformed products using Artificial Intelligence, and can be integrated into all machines.
What does the Vision System do?
- Analyses Tray Defects: During the manufacturing cycle time, the system uses AI techniques to analyze the presence of tray defects.
- Integrated with Thermoforming Line: It is directly connected and synchronized with the thermoforming line for seamless operation.
- Customizable Criteria: Acceptance or rejection criteria can be customized according to customer requirements.
- Defect Detection and Removal: When one or several defective trays are detected, the system identifies them on the HMI and activates an alarm. The defective trays are removed from the production line by its automatic packaging system, managed by the press and the vision system itself.
- Immediate and Historical Review: Defects can be reviewed immediately on the system HMI, or the inspection history can be reviewed for analysis at a later stage.
The advantages of the Vision System according to WM Thermoforming:
- Beyond Manual Checks: the system provides an unfaltering eye, detecting even the smallest discrepancies with over ten times the accuracy of the human eye.
- Learn and Adapt: with the power of machine learning, the system continuously improves, learning what’s acceptable and what’s not. With each piece inspected, it becomes even more skilled at identifying imperfections.
- Peace of Mind: rest easy knowing your production process is protected by the most advanced and efficient quality control method available.
