February 7, 2024, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM, HACARUS-hosted webinar "Secrets of Automating Visual Inspection for the Manufacturing Industry" featuring NTN, Toyo Electronics, and Visco explaining the latest technologies in AI visual inspection.

The first AI visual inspection compatible with FANUC collaborative robots. Are you struggling with visual inspection of metal parts? We will automate visual inspection with robots and AI!

New Release on June 23, 2023: 'HACARUS Check for FANUC CRX Series' This is the first AI visual inspection solution compatible with the FANUC collaborative robot CRX series, achieving complete automation of inspections. ■ Product Features By integrating the FANUC CRX series with the HACARUS Check AI software, which specializes in small quantities, high quality, and rapid learning, companies can now handle a diverse range of products in-house. Additionally, there are no restrictions on the weight or size of the workpieces, similar to HACARUS Check. It offers high versatility in the field, and there are no additional development costs. There are also options available for those looking to reduce the initial investment costs for the complete automation package for visual inspections. Customization consultations are possible based on specific inspection challenges and environments.

• Visual Inspection Equipment
• Other embedded systems (software and hardware)

From January to March 2024, you can use the development license for 298,000 yen (tax excluded) or 327,800 yen (tax included) for a period of three months.

This is a limited-time campaign for HACARUS Check AI software. Please contact us as soon as possible. ■ About the Target Customers Those who are promoting the automation of visual inspections and have the following challenges: - Considering the introduction of AI and want to try it with reduced initial costs - Already have inspection equipment and want to improve AI accuracy - Have attempted to implement AI but could not due to reasons such as functionality or cost - Have introduced AI but are experiencing excessive detection due to temporal changes in parts ■ About HACARUS Check AI Software This is an AI visual inspection software that can repeatedly perform small quantity, good quality, and rapid learning. It can train the AI with dozens of good products in just a few minutes each day, and it can conduct inspections while minimizing excessive detection even for workpieces whose colors and shapes change over time. HACARUS's AI is based on sparse modeling technology, which extracts features from a small amount of data and performs learning and inference, compared to deep learning that requires a large amount of training data. This allows for high-precision operation with minimal data, enabling the construction and operation of systems while keeping costs and time down.

• Visual Inspection Equipment
• Defect Inspection Equipment
• Image Processing Software

AI automatically detects defects in metal parts and other items using only good products! AI visual inspection is now possible for complex shapes like die-castings, which could only be inspected visually before.

The AI visual inspection system "HACARUS Check" is an all-in-one package that automatically detects defects in workpieces using "collaborative robots + cameras with lighting + high-performance AI." It can be implemented as a one-stop solution from imaging with robots and cameras to AI's OK/NG judgment. With the ability to conduct 360-degree inspections, it is suitable for complex-shaped workpieces such as die-cast and machined products, achieving reductions in inspection labor and standardization of quality. ■ Target Workpieces Small automotive parts, die-casting, metalworking and processing, press processing, plating, bearings, textiles, rubber, resin, plastics, ceramics, etc. ■ Features 1. 360-Degree Inspection The 6-axis robotic arm, illuminated ring lighting, and rotating lift platform work together to detect defects in hard-to-image areas. 2. Small Quantity, Good Quality, Fast Learning AI Thanks to HACARUS's unique AI technology, there is no need to collect defective product data; a high-precision AI can be quickly built from a small amount of good product data. 3. Easy Installation Compact design, operates on 100V power supply. Overall dimensions: 1555mm × 740mm × 860mm (fixed with caster-mounted adjusters). *For more details, please visit the product's special website below.⬇︎

Usable on-site! HACARUS's "Small Quantity Quality Product Speed Learning" AI Visual Inspection Software

HACARUS Check AI software enables high-precision visual inspections using AI. Our uniquely developed "small quantity good product speed learning" AI does not require defective product data or a GPU. It excels in inspections that were difficult with traditional rule-based methods, such as for metal plates, rubber products, fabric materials, and leather materials, and can be used without any knowledge of AI. If you are struggling with visual inspections or have existing inspection equipment and are having trouble handling AI, please feel free to contact us. If you do not have an imaging device, we can provide suggestions. ■ Features - High precision results with a small amount of good product data: just a few dozen good product images are sufficient, with learning time of only a few minutes. - Understandable AI reasoning: the reasoning behind decisions can be explained, allowing for further application and development. - Fast and low power consumption: no GPU required, can be executed in your existing environment. <Software Pricing> First year: 3 million yen Subsequent years: 960,000 yen/year

AI visual inspection software runtime license for on-site use / AI continues to learn from work while conducting inspections, suppressing false positives.

■HACARUS Check AI Software Runtime License By allowing AI to learn "continuously," "quickly," and "frequently," it can consistently deliver results from a single system development, even as the inspection targets change over time. This helps to suppress the occurrence of false positives and reduces the time and costs associated with additional system development. <Background> In traditional visual inspection systems, due to time-related changes such as mold wear, system development was required every time the workpiece changed, and without modifications, false positives would occur. The runtime license allows the AI in HACARUS's visual inspection system to continue learning about time-related changes while operating in the inspection process after implementation. <Runtime License Price> 990,000 yen (up to 5 units, thereafter 198,000 yen per unit) *For more details, please contact us.
