■ Topics to be covered in this presentation
The automation of visual inspections is being implemented in many facilities
- "It's not accurate"
- "Operations aren't running smoothly"
- "In the end, we return to being human"
It just stops there.
However, the cause is not a lack of performance in AI or image processing.
In many cases,
- The design of the test items is vague
- The definitions of "good" and "defective" products differ from those used on the shop floor
- It is not designed with operational use in mind
It’s a matter of design philosophy.
In this presentation,
- Analysis of Successful and Failed Implementation Cases
- Analyzing the Structure of "Why It Isn't Working"
- Key Design Considerations for On-Site Inspection Systems
I’ll explain this as realistically as possible.
■ Recommended for people like this
- We implemented automated visual inspection, but it didn’t catch on.
- They are struggling to replace manual inspections
- I would like to review the "inspection design" before selecting the technology
■ Let’s get into a bit more detail
In this post,
"Using AI will solve the problem"
"If we aim for high accuracy, it will work out"
That’s not what I’m talking about.
If anything,
- How thorough should the inspection be?
- Where should I draw the line?
- How can I keep working on-site?
I’ll focus on this somewhat down-to-earth story.
■ About Participation
The seminar is free (advance registration required).
Seating is limited, so we recommend registering early.

■ Finally
Visual inspections may appear to be a "technical issue,"
but in reality, they are often a matter of "design and operational issues."
