By equipping X-ray inspection devices and multi-joint robots, they become the brains of machines. We are also presenting examples of "AI-equipped robots" as appearance inspection devices!

"AI Hayabusa" is an "artificial intelligence image inspection system" that overcomes the weaknesses of conventional image inspection tools, which were primarily based on pattern matching. The appearance inspection robot "AI Robot," equipped with "AI Hayabusa," leverages the features of artificial intelligence and image processing to inspect various surface defects such as scratches, dents, bumps, fluff, and color unevenness that appear on inspection objects with curved or mirror surfaces. [Features] - Inspection using artificial intelligence + image processing - Supports online, offline, and embedded device applications - Image processing system for flat measurement, blob analysis/morphology, character recognition/verification, matching, and machine vision (shape identification) - Functions for 3D shape measurement, automatic classification, and barcode reading - Achieves many benefits, including a reduction in personnel to the level of skilled workers *We are currently offering a collection of case studies and product materials that introduce examples of defect judgments. You can view them via "PDF Download." Please feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

• Visual Inspection Equipment

Automating visual inspections. An AI-equipped robot that can quickly and accurately determine food spoilage and container defects.

The "AI Robot" is an appearance inspection robot equipped with the automatic inspection system "AI Hayabusa," which features artificial intelligence and image processing. The multi-joint robot positions the camera head according to the workpiece, capturing fine defects with its optical system, while AI Hayabusa extracts and analyzes the defects in the images. In addition to detecting issues such as foreign matter contamination in processed products and chipping or cracking of packaging, it can also handle grade sorting of food based on scratches and color, as well as quality assessment of cosmetic containers. It enables the automation of appearance inspections and enhances traceability. 【Features】 ■ Can be integrated into existing lines such as conveyor lines and visual inspection lines ■ Exhibits high inspection accuracy and image analysis capability ■ Quickly and accurately determines OK/NG status ■ Detects defects in filled containers such as processed foods and cosmetics * We are currently offering a collection of case studies and product materials that introduce examples of foreign matter and defect judgment in food factories.

[Instructor] Mr. Tsuyoshi Igarashi, CEO of Leaders Creative Lab Inc. [Key Lecture Content] "Each individual has potential, yet the team fails to achieve results." "Members only do what they are told; they lack proposal skills." "I am struggling with what to do as a leader." "I want to increase the engagement of both members and leaders." "I want to create a self-managing team." Are you facing such concerns and challenges? The daily words and actions of a leader can significantly change the team. When just one leader changes, a team of dozens or even hundreds can achieve remarkable results, even with the same members. We will share know-how from real experiences on how both leaders and members can create a vibrant and fulfilling self-managing team.
