Inspection Module For Next-Gen Die-Casting Machinery
Developing an inspection add-on that can be bundled with the die-casting machine to improve inspection quality and boost productivity.
Problem
Die-casting is widely used in the automotive industry to produce complex metal parts with high precision. Customers have historically had to handle their own visual quality inspections, often relying on manual methods. This approach leads to inconsistencies and a high degree of manual labor, which slows down production and reduces inspection quality.
Goal
The goal is to create an inspection module that can be bundled with the die-casting machinery, providing customers with a complete all-in-one solution. The module will automate and standardize visual non-destructive surface inspection, boosting both cycle times and inspection quality.
Solution
Sightwise has formed a strategic partnership with a machinery manufacturer to develop a tailored inspection solution that is seamlessly integrated into the machine. Leveraging synthetic data generation and automated model training, the solution accelerates development and reduces time-to-value. It offers robust performance, even for rare defects or in challenging lighting conditions, and collects inspection data for continuous improvement and predictive maintenance.
Customer Value
By partnering with Sightwise, the machinery manufacturer can now offer customers an all-in-one solution that bundles their machine with a tailored, ready-to-use inspection module. This integrated solution ensures the customer receives a customized inspection system from day one, optimized for their specific needs.
