[Skill Inheritance Success Case] Significant Reduction of Defects in the Painting Department of an Automobile Manufacturer

Utilizing gaze data, we analyze tasks and visual inspections performed with craftsmanship. The skills of artisans can be efficiently and clearly passed on to the younger generation!

Quality control and skill inheritance/education have become challenges in many manufacturing industries. We will introduce a case where the visualization and dataization of gaze were utilized to significantly reduce defects. The painting process and quality control in automobile manufacturing are among the important manufacturing processes. While the painting process itself is often automated, the subsequent fine-tuning becomes a "craftsmanship" task, making it difficult to articulate in writing or verbally. As a result, the variability in the skills and conditions of the workers has become a significant issue. However, the introduction of an "eye tracker that visualizes gaze" allowed for the recording and visualization of the gaze of both skilled workers and younger employees during their tasks. By analyzing the acquired data numerically, the following effects were achieved, ultimately leading to a significant reduction in defects: - The differences between the work instructions and the actual work became clear. - Instruction based on scientific evidence allowed for education that was satisfactory to both teachers and students. - Videos with gaze points were digitized as video manuals and could be applied. There are various other cases as well, so for more details, please download the PDF or contact us.
