Telit Cinterion has launched deviceWISE AI Visual Inspection, an AI-powered software to allow real-time quality control throughout the factory floor. The new solution is deployable in the cloud or on premises and integrates with industrial cameras, robots and PLCs, as well as platforms such as AWS, Azure IoT, IBM Maximo, SAP and Siemens

deviceWISE AI Visual Inspection is designed to provide manufacturers with a turnkey solution for collecting visual inspection data from factory floor devices and then feeding it into analytics platforms. These insights enable manufacturers to quickly identify and address emerging quality control problems involving employee workstations, industrial robots, and CNC machines.

The new solution employs visual AI technologies to identify problems such as missing bolts, improperly installed product badges, bad welds, misaligned seams and more. It uses a broad array of technologies from the NVIDIA Metropolis stack — the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform, DeepStream SDK and TensorRT SDK and provides customisable algorithms for on-the-fly model training deployment.

“deviceWISE AI Visual Inspection significantly enhances the ability of manufacturers to quickly find and fix problems that directly affect their competitiveness and bottom line,” said Ricardo Buranello, SVP of IoT Platforms Business Unit, Telit Cinterion. “deviceWISE is an IIoT platform that enables manufacturers to collect, transform and integrate data from any machine to any IT system, creating full applications for Industry 4.0 and digital transformation. Now with the new module deviceWISE AI Visual Inspection, we add cameras as sensors in a fully integrated suite. This will provide all the tools manufacturers need to disruptively innovate on their manufacturing processes.”
