Quality Control is a key activity for any manufacturer. An important step in the manufacturing of almost any good is a visual inspection of the products, to ensure that there are no visible defects. This task can become very time-consuming when done by humans, but fortunately, it can also be done reliably using cameras and computer vision algorithms.
These algorithms can be trained to quickly detect imperfections in your products, so that they can be deviated from the assembly line and manually inspected.
Nouns.ai builds computer solutions that can automatically detect visible defects at any point of your production line. Maintenance is an essential part of any manufacturing business.
Manufacturing processes often require the use of complex machines for certain tasks, and the product of the manufacturing process might itself be a machine. Many machines are engineered to require maintenance, since often these machines use consumable parts, and it is often cheaper to replace parts periodically than to build a machine that lasts throughout its whole life-cycle without requiring maintenance.
When planning for machine maintenance, businesses need to schedule check-ups not so often that the maintenance costs are too high, nor so rarely that the machines may break, leading to higher repair costs. A better solution lies in Predictive Maintenance.
Nouns.ai can provide you tools to monitor data from the machine’s sensors in real-time, and forecast when a machine will break, so that it can be called in for maintenance before failure, thus avoiding both repair costs and preemptive maintenance costs.
