We would like to introduce a case where we conducted a simple verification of outdoor drainage treatment at the request of a pharmaceutical manufacturer. Monitoring outdoors can be challenging due to factors such as the presence of power sources and changes in visibility depending on day or night. This time, the inspection was based on the images provided. By using the "Presence of Specified Color Inspection" feature of EasyInspector, we were able to make judgments in two inspection areas. We register the unacceptable colors in advance. If a registered unacceptable color is detected, it is set to fail. Our company offers a "Simple Evaluation Service" provided by technical staff free of charge. Additionally, we offer demo units for free rental, allowing you to experience the inspection software firsthand. 【Software Used】 ■EasyInspector (formerly EasyInspector) The current 'EasyInspector2' color package [Presence of Specified Color] can be inspected with 'EasyMonitoring2'. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case that was inquired about by an industrial equipment system manufacturer with whom we have previously done business. When the red light is on, it triggers an alert; the panel meter sends an alert at 10% below the set value, and the analog meter has a system that triggers alerts based on their respective settings. They were considering a setup where a camera is connected via wired LAN to a computer, which in turn is connected to a Patlite to sound an alarm. By using the "Meter Reading" function of EasyInspector, we were able to make determinations at two locations in 0.35 seconds. 【Software Used】 ■EasyInspector The current 'EasyInspector2' control panel and ControlPanel package [Meter Display Reading] can be inspected with 'EasyMonitoring2'. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We received two samples of metal coatings for truck and automotive parts from a customer engaged in low-volume, high-variety production. They were experiencing issues with shipping different products due to multiple part numbers flowing through the same line. Here, we present a case study on how we conducted verification to distinguish between the two samples. Using DeepSky's inspection capabilities, we were able to make determinations. DeepSky is designed solely for inspection functions, and by integrating it with PLCs and socket communication, it can be applied to various inspections. We have made commands available for input and output, allowing customers to create their own software for free. Additionally, we can also undertake software development, but this will be a paid service. 【Software and Equipment Used (Excerpt)】 ■ Software Used: DeepSky ■ Field of View: Approximately 447×335mm ■ Minimum Size of Inspection Target: 5mm ■ Number of Inspection Points: 1 ■ Camera Resolution: 1.3 Megapixels *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

There are three main categories of inquiries we receive regarding non-woven fabric inspections. - Inspection in a roll-to-roll state - Inspection of non-woven fabric with printed patterns - Inspection of non-woven fabric processed into products like masks The systems used vary depending on each state. For example, inspections in a roll-to-roll state often utilize EasyInspector, while detecting foreign substances on products with printed patterns or processed into masks is a specialty of DeepSky. Processed products have irregularities and overlaps, which can lead to frequent false detections with standard binarization methods. However, deep learning can learn and detect features such as insects, hair, and debris, making it largely unaffected by the variations in product patterns and processing. Here, we will introduce detections made by DeepSky. - Foreign substances such as hair and debris (Images 1 and 2) - Defects such as wrinkles and tears (Images 3 and 4) In roll-to-roll inspections, a method that continuously monitors with a fixed camera while the product is moving is suitable. However, in cases like the masks that have been processed into individual products, considering automatic discharge, the following system can be utilized.

This is a request from a manufacturer that produces plastic molded products. They have a cap with a diameter of approximately 30mm and a height of about 8mm, but sometimes black spots (approximately 0.2mm in diameter) appear on the flat top. They would like to conduct an appearance inspection of this cap and inquired whether it is possible to detect these black spots through their website. We conducted verification using the inspection software "DeepSky" (which utilizes AI and deep learning) and "EasyInspector" (a traditional rule-based inspection software). In this case, it can be said that verifying with 'DeepSky' is smoother. This software can be easily operated in a manner similar to operating Windows software, which leads to many direct inquiries from end-users who are introducing image inspection for the first time.

We would like to introduce a case of AI image inspection at a ground improvement manufacturer in the construction industry that has been using our inspection software EI310 (formerly EasyInspector) for some time. By using the "Dimension Angle Inspection" feature of EasyInspector, we were able to make judgments at five locations. Additionally, when inspecting all images (OK/NG), we were able to determine that the curved parts were classified as NG. By installing multiple inspection frames in a vertical orientation, we have set it up to identify which areas are curved (whether the width is outside the threshold). 【Software Used】 ■ EasyInspector310 (formerly EasyInspector) The current 'EasyInspector2' MeaSure package can perform inspections with [Position/Width Measurement] and [Angle Measurement]. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We conducted a simple verification to detect "price tags" and "half-price stickers" on the packaging of daily necessities sold by a pharmaceutical company, and we received sample images for this purpose. Upon verifying the provided images, we found that it was possible to detect "half-price stickers" and "price tags" using the inspection function of 'DeepSky'. We conducted the verification by dividing the images into 13 labeled images and 26 unlabeled images. Since we are able to detect the stickers themselves, we can set up a counting configuration such that if even one "half-price sticker" is found, it will be marked as NG (not good), allowing us to determine pass or fail. 【Software Used】 ■DeepSky *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The surveying equipment manufacturer who requested this verification is also a customer we have been dealing with for some time. Our company serves various industrial machinery and control equipment manufacturers in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, which is active in the manufacturing of automotive parts. We have a track record of providing and supporting over 1,000 cases, and we believe that our easy-to-integrate inspection software, sold as a one-time purchase, has led to repeat business. As a result of training specifically on wall cracks, it seems difficult to completely eliminate false detections through training alone. When a target object (in this case, cracks) is found within a specific area, it is possible to decide whether or not to include it in the count through settings. However, in this case, positional deviations of the workpiece cannot be tolerated in processing, so if the workpiece is assumed to be misaligned, it may be quicker to blur the surroundings.

We received an inquiry from an industrial control equipment manufacturer who wanted to confirm various inspection details. Initially, we decided to conduct a simple verification by sending sample images. Our software, called "DeepSky," detects objects with similar features by enclosing the target object in a rectangle and performing learning. In this case, we specified areas where "weld" and "color mixing" appear for the learning process. Regarding the weld, there are likely "acceptable welds" and "non-acceptable welds" in reality, but distinguishing between them is difficult, so the inspection will focus on whether a weld is present or not. Based on the verification feedback for these two items, I feel there is a high possibility of being able to conduct inspections.

The demand for inspection automation due to labor shortages has been increasing year by year, and amidst this, AI-based inspection systems have also diversified. With the theme of "easy operation for on-site users," we released an all-in-one and simple-to-operate AI image inspection software in 2020, and we have steadily increased our implementation achievements. By circling the items you want to find (OK/NG) with a mouse and clicking the "Learn" button, the inspection machine grows to enable easy pass/fail judgment. For object recognition, we use transfer learning and high-accuracy models, allowing for higher precision inspections by teaching the system to recognize NG items and the objects you want to find. Using the inspection function of 'DeepSky,' we labeled (named) correctly inserted terminals as "Normal" and terminals with insertion errors as "Abnormal," enabling accurate identification. In actual inspections, we set it up so that if even one "Abnormal" is found, it results in a NG. (Settings can be freely adjusted, such as determining what constitutes OK/NG based on the number of items found.)

We would like to introduce Inaba Electric Industry's "Choco Stop Watcher mini" within the context of dashcam-like cameras. If an abnormality occurs that can be detected by the device's sensors, it can simply be input as a contact signal to the "Choco Stop Watcher mini" to record video. However, when the abnormality is due to "dirt" or "angle misalignment," it is often difficult for the sensors to detect the issue. Therefore, this time we tried to "detect abnormalities using image processing." When an object is placed at an incorrect angle, it is detected as an abnormality through image processing, and recorded by the "Choco Stop Watcher mini." For more details, please check the related links below. 【Set Examples】 ■ Image Processing Unit + Choco Stop Watcher mini ■ Multiple Choco Stop Watcher minis connected to a single PC *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This time, we are inspecting the top surface and the entire circumference of the cap using only one camera (without using multiple cameras). We will introduce a case where the friction force is utilized to rotate the cap. When the AI image inspection software DeepSky detects a defect, an NG signal is output from the Intelligent I/O, and by connecting an electromagnetic valve to the NG output, the valve opens when a defect is detected. At this time, air from the air compressor flows to the pusher, causing the pusher to extend forward and automatically discharge the defective product.

I believe there are many instances where people visually check for insects or hair on food flowing on a conveyor. Here, I would like to introduce a system that incorporates AI vision to more reliably detect foreign objects. By controlling the ON/OFF of a 100V power supply with a relay, the conveyor itself is turned OFF when a foreign object is detected, stopping the conveyor and simultaneously sounding a buzzer to alert about the foreign object detection. This system uses DeepSky and Intelligent I/O, with a relay connected to the NG output of the Intelligent I/O.

We will introduce a system that detects broken tablets and stops the conveyor. It was found that using a mechanical relay to perform ON/OFF at 100V generates significant electromagnetic noise, so we switched to a solid-state relay for testing. We added a patrol light to the wiring for "ON/OFF of the 100V power supply from DeepSky," which alerts with a red light and buzzer when a broken tablet (defective product) flows through, stopping the conveyor. When good products continue to flow, a green light is illuminated, and the conveyor keeps moving.
