Roxy AI's proud defect detection AI accurately detects even very small defects and has contributed to the automation of inspections for many customers. However, the defect detection AI struggles with detecting defects that require a wide view of the image and unknown defects, which sometimes does not meet expectations. The newly added good product learning AI excels at determining defects that the defect detection AI struggles with. Since the good product learning AI only learns from good product data, it can be used in environments where defects do not occur. There are three AIs that support the defect detection AI, including the good product learning AI: - Good product learning AI: Detects widespread defects, unknown defects, and mistakes - Image generation AI: Generates high-quality training data for defect detection AI - Zero learning measurement AI: Achieves size measurement and count without learning By combining these, flexible and high-precision inspection automation can be realized. A one-month trial is also available. Please give it a try.

There is an explanatory video, so please take a look. In June 2022, shocking news emerged about the contamination of dried baby fish with pufferfish larvae. Fortunately, it seems that no serious harm was done, but it was a case that could have led to health issues with just one misstep. It may seem easy to distinguish between small fish and pufferfish. However, detecting foreign objects like pufferfish among a large quantity of small fish without missing any is a challenging task that requires constant vigilance. Similar incidents occurred in September 2014 and July 2019. It is believed that measures such as strengthening inspection processes have been taken each time, but relying solely on human labor cannot completely eliminate mistakes. The inspection processes for food products, which have had to rely on human labor until now, can be automated using Roxy AI. Automating inspections not only reduces the risk of foreign object contamination but also addresses many issues such as alleviating labor shortages, stabilizing quality, and improving the crowded environment of inspection areas. The video introduces examples of detecting various foreign objects among dried sardines. Please take a look.

There is an explanatory video, so please take a look. Garbage In, Garbage Out. An AI that has learned from incorrect data is useless. In fact, AI developers say they spend 80% of their time on data preparation. Can using the latest research results and the strongest algorithms solve the problem? No. Underestimating data will render even the strongest AI a wasted treasure. If you allow difficult-to-find defects mixed in with normal images to be learned, the result will be an AI that does not detect features similar to the mixed-in defects, and that is not the AI you expected. What a human can intuitively understand, AI cannot adapt to. So, should we thoroughly check all normal images to ensure that defects are definitely not present? That would be ideal, but it requires an enormous amount of time and attention. Roxy AI considers that inappropriate data is something that will mix in. Inappropriate data that has mixed in can be removed and cleaned up. With Roxy AI, data can be cleaned throughout the entire AI learning process. We clean the data and create conditions that make it easier for the AI to learn.

There is an explanatory video, so please take a look. The phrase "high precision" is often used casually. Ask various companies: What is the reason for your high precision? Roxy AI achieves high precision with three key commitments. Without any one of them, precision cannot be achieved. ■ A simple AI focused on necessary functions It can only detect defects and identify defect types. It cannot fill in defective parts or read text. Even so, it can meet the needs of many workplaces. Because the tasks are simple, it not only makes high precision easier to achieve, but also offers many advantages such as easy annotation and fast learning. ■ Learning the characteristics of both normal and defective products together No need for defective samples. This is indeed an attractive phrase. However, many people may feel there are limits to learning from normal products. By properly learning the boundary between normal and defective products, we aim for high precision. ■ A thorough process to eliminate inappropriate data An AI trained on incorrect data is useless. By organizing the training data, we create conditions that make it easier for the AI to learn. There are many features available for this purpose.

- A simple AI focused on necessary functions It can only detect defects, identify types of defects, and detect unknown defects. It cannot measure the size of defects, nor does it have functions like OCR. High accuracy is achieved with a proprietary AI optimized for simple tasks. - Learning features of both normal and defective products By learning both normal and defective products together, it accurately understands the boundaries. Learning only with normal products is appealing to customers who do not have defective products. However, to make a decision on implementation, isn't it necessary to collect a certain number of defective products? If so, I would like to improve accuracy by making a bit more effort to collect defective products. This is Roxy's thinking. - A thorough process to eliminate inappropriate training data If there are errors in the training data, the AI will learn those errors as well. By detecting and organizing inappropriate data in various ways, we prevent the creation of a distorted AI. - Annotation that eliminates mistakes regardless of who does it Annotation involves simply clicking near the defect. Even if there is a slight deviation, it does not affect accuracy. No special technique is required. All that is needed is the experience of the inspector to accurately determine whether it is a defect or not.
