What it is

A computer-vision model reviews images or video from cameras on the line (or smartphones on a building site) and flags defects in real time. Catches 2-5x more defects than manual inspection and creates a digital quality record. Typical scrap rate drops by 20-40%.

Data you need

Several thousand labelled defect images per defect class.

Why it works

  • Fixed-position cameras with controlled lighting
  • Active learning loop: operators label edge cases

How this goes wrong

  • Lighting/camera setup that drifts and degrades model accuracy
  • Operators mistrust the model and disable alerts

When NOT to do this

Don't attempt without controlled lighting, environmental noise destroys accuracy.
