Enhanced Manufacturing: Flawless Products and Agile Operations

Automate your production operations with the power of vision AI. AITRIOS combines powerful edge AI devices optimized for manufacturing with user-friendly, low-code AI services, empowering any team to solve manufacturing challenges by quickly training and deploying custom vision AI models – no data engineering expertise required. Vision AI scan for flaws, optimize production with real-time data, and safeguard personnel and assets to boost efficiency and quality.

Visual Inspections

Manufacturing quality control is changing as automated visual inspections expand. Consistently detect even the smallest defects, eliminating human subjectivity and toil. Manufacturers achieve faster identification of defects and anomalies, and more consistent product quality. By leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms and high-resolution imaging, vision AI systems can process thousands of images per minute, enabling real-time detection of issues that might escape the human eye, thus significantly improving production efficiency and overall product reliability.

Equipment Control

Vision AI is changing how factories work, making production more efficient. By automating tedious and error-prone manual adjustments, it minimizes costly downtime. The technology constantly watches production, making small adjustments to equipment as needed to equipment settings. Sony's IMX500, intelligent vision sensors, monitor important parts of the production line and send information directly to equipment PLCs to eliminate the need for manual checks. Vision AI also helps spot early signs of equipment wear or low supplies, stopping small issues from turning into big problems.

Factory Compliance

Automated compliance monitoring, powered by vision AI, alleviates the burdens of manual oversight in manufacturing. By automatically tracking PPE usage, verifying adherence to safety protocols, and generating accurate logs, vision AI strengthens workplace safety, ensures regulatory compliance, and frees up valuable human resources. Sony's IMX500, intelligent vision sensor, generates inference data that is perfect to generate the logs and records required for your different compliance and regulatory requirements. Use vision AI to monitor access to sensitive areas, monitor for product contamination events, ensure staff are washing hands or have PPE when entering specific areas with data to support.
