AI USE CASE
Visual quality inspection
Detect defects in production lines and on-site builds with computer vision.
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.
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.
