(Higashi-Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture), a die-casting manufacturer of automotive parts, and has begun operations. ● Case Study Video An interview video with Asahi Kosei Co., Ltd. has been released on YouTube. Long version (about 5 minutes) https://youtu.be/YFmYJCnsFQE Short version (140 seconds) https://youtu.be/_F3q31awMYM ● Background of Implementation Asahi Kosei Co., Ltd. had previously worked on automating inspections to address issues such as a shortage of inspectors and defective products, but faced challenges such as the unclear reasoning behind AI judgments, making it said that achieving inspection levels close to human visual inspection remained an eternal challenge. Therefore, they turned to our AI, which specializes in surface inspection of die-casting, and sought our consultation. ● Results of Implementation Where six inspectors were previously needed, operations were able to be conducted with just two. Additionally, human error was eliminated, and quality became more consistent.
