A packaging manufacturer was catching product defects too late — after items were already packed and palletised. Manual spot-checks missed surface defects, misprints, and dimensional errors, and rejects were discovered downstream where they cost far more to pull.
They needed inspection on the line itself — fast enough to keep up with the conveyor, accurate enough to trust, and able to run on the factory floor without a cloud connection.
Detection had to keep up with a 60fps camera feed on the production line — anything slower would miss defects or bottleneck the line.
The system had to run on rugged edge hardware on the floor, with no dependence on a stable internet connection.
Over-flagging good product is as costly as missing defects, so the model had to be precise, not just sensitive.
The system runs inline at 60fps with 94% defect-detection accuracy, catching defects before product reaches the packing stage. Rework and downstream rejects dropped sharply, and the quality team gained live visibility into defect trends they could act on.
Real-time, on-device detection for manufacturing and logistics. Catch defects before they ship.
