"Roxy AI," which realizes the automation of visual inspections, has been upgraded to version V1.13! An AI that has learned from inappropriate data is useless. Roxy AI maximizes AI performance by cleaning the data!

Garbage In, Garbage Out. An AI that has learned from incorrect data is useless.

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.

The phrase "high precision," which is used casually, has a solid reason behind Roxy AI's high precision.

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.

The risk of foreign substances contaminating various food products. Using Roxy AI can help reduce such risks.

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.

Roxy AI, which can be mastered even by non-engineers. See how it differs from other appearance inspection AIs.

Unless it is an extremely simple test, a perfect AI cannot be created in just one learning session, so it is very important to improve accuracy. Many AI inspection products create AI using one of the following methods: - Utilizing AI know-how to repeatedly tune parameters to improve accuracy - A simple one-click process for anyone. If the accuracy is poor, data is endlessly collected Just as studying from incorrect or ambiguous textbooks does not improve grades, the quality of learning data is critically important for improving AI accuracy. At Roxy AI, we enhance accuracy by organizing the learning data. Roxy AI has many unique features, such as: - Automatic extraction of potentially inappropriate data (during/after learning) - Highly efficient annotation that is error-proof for anyone - One-click deletion/replacement of inappropriate data - One-click augmentation of missing data - Extraction of inconsistencies between learning data and test data There are many other innovations as well.

High speed and high precision are a given! The appearance inspection software 'Roxy AI' that can be expertly used on-site.

Roxy AI is an AI inspection product that can be effectively utilized on-site. Roxy AI is not a "multifunctional" product, but rather aims to be "simple and high-performance." By limiting its functions and leveraging unique technologies that are optimal for those functions, it achieves high precision and speed. Additionally, by narrowing down its features, it has become a product that anyone can easily use. ■ Create high-precision AI inspections on-site Roxy AI organizes data (images of the inspection targets) to train the AI. The person who understands the data best can create the best AI. ■ No AI expertise required With overwhelmingly simple one-click annotation, visualization of learning progress, and a step-by-step AI creation process that reliably improves accuracy, it is packed with unique features that anyone can easily use. ■ Applicable for a wide range of uses It achieves high precision not only in defect inspections but also in detecting foreign substances and residues. It is suitable for various industries, including not just manufacturing but also food products and lumber.

As shown in the sample video, Roxy AI is highly accurate. Here, we introduce the concept of Roxy AI, which enables high-precision inspections.

- 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.
