Our Use Case

Quality assurance in manufacturing

Context

The conveyor belt is a well-oiled machine, but small mistakes and errors can easily slip in. If these errors are not spotted and corrected early, the downstream costs of fixing the original problem or settling claims tend to be orders of magnitude bigger.

Challenge

Our challenge was to develop a model that improves performance in anomaly detection and enhances the human knowledge with precise early detection.

Solution

Our solution identifies which parts of the assembled product are faulty and need further inspection at a very early stage, preventing headaches down the line. We built this tool for a large manufacturer of engines for earthmoving machines, that was suffering from a high claims rate for faulty machines.
