CONTACT Introducing FULL SERVICE MACHINE LEARNING FOR YOUR PRODUCTION LINE End-to-End FactorySmart® AI Solutions Provided by LMI We Develop, Deploy, and Support a Complete AI Solution Specifically for You Many manufacturing companies suffer from low yield, high operating expense, and now pandemic risk exposure. Traditional inspection methods such as rule-based computer vision and manual visual inspection are unable to deliver the precision, scalability, and cost-efficiency required to solve today’s complex quality assurance challenges. Many customers believe that AI can help, but do not have the knowledge or resources to tackle implementation. To meet these challenges head on, LMI provides a complete AI/IIoT solution package developed for your specific application needs. The end-result includes optimized inspection pipelines that leverage deep learning networks for fast and accurate visual inspection, high value hardware for edge deployment, and cloud services for dashboarding, alerting, ongoing pipeline tuning and remote support. You can learn more about the FactorySmart AI system architecture and by downloading the brochure below, or by visiting the AI Solutions Page. Download Brochure Why FactorySmart® AI? Accurate, Robust, and Flexible AI Classification Based On 2D and 3D Data We train models from images collected under a variety of ambient conditions. These models typically achieve >98% accuracy. New image classifications can be added continually for maximum flexibility. Superhuman Grading for Maximum Yield Productivity Our AI solutions automate product grading across your manufacturing process and allow you to efficiently scale this evaluation at new production facilities. Lifecycle Support, Enhancement, and Maintenance We provide remote model retraining and system performance monitoring after deployment for the lifetime of the system. This approach minimizes system cost and allows for pipeline optimization after initial implementation, as well as rapid adaptation to new production equipment or environment changes. Defect Detection for Reduced Dark Yield We use proven open-source deep learning models to train on readily available “good” data and accurately detect anomalies during runtime. Absolute Data Protection Our support for on-premises data collection capability and strict adherence to the highest standards in cybersecurity gives you the confidence that your data is 100% secure. Example Industries Meat Processing Automated inspection maximizes yield and minimizes operating expense in meat packing factories. We expand on-site support teams with world class software and AI engineers. Example Application: Loin Sort Inspection system classifies left side or right side pork loins Sends decision to PLC that switches pneumatic actuator Image acquires and processes the entire scene subject to: Height Minimum Area Gap between samples 40 cm max length (along Y axis) Food and Beverage Defect detection eliminates expensive dark yield in high volume production lines. Multi-stage pipeline uses both object detectors and autoencoders to identify specific and unclassified defects. Over time, unclassified defects are added to specific defects to improve root cause tracking. Example Application: Package Inspection Existing vision system inspects straws processed by a high speed assembly machine LMI AI solution retro-fitted to existing vision system to maximize ROI Inspection includes (1) specific, known defects that we use to train an object detector, and (2) gross defects that we inspect using an autoencoder Consumer Product 100% inspection reduces field failures, and object detectors trained using 3D point clouds find short shot defects in injection molded plastic parts. Example Application: Short Shot Inspection Robot scans parts in forward and reverse direction 1st object detection model locates regions of interest (ROI) 2nd object detection classifies defects in plastic injection molded parts Robot pulls part assembly from injection molding machine and scans parts over dual Gocator® imaging system Inspection system acquires and processes the point-clouds: Converts point cloud to height map Object detection detects bracket, socket, and short shotSend TCP/IP Signal to downstream automation to remove defects Send TCP/IP Signal to downstream automation to remove defects Life Sciences Flexible model, hardware, and automation integration options work with existing inspection systems.
