Vial Quality Inspection using AI

Product Sorting, Defect Detection and Completeness Verification

Object Detector and Classifier are two more modules that we would like to briefly describe and provide an example of their use in our blog series. To simulate a real-life scenario, we used different products, a small conveyor belt, and a PLC connected to a signaling beacon. The items, while moving on the conveyor belt, were sorted into the correct product class and inspected for any defect or missing parts. We’re inviting you to look behind the scene at how everything was done.
