Solomon’s SolVision provides an AI-embedded solution for visual quality control in the production of embossed plasterboards, an extensively used construction material. Manufacturers often create innovative designs on plasterboards to promote usage. This creates intricate embossing, making quality inspection challenging due to the complex patterns. The SolVision platform utilizes segmentation technology to identify dirty stains, oversized embossing, unclear patterns, and other subtle defects on the plasterboard, which would be difficult to recognize via traditional optical inspection or human intervention.
Apply the Classification and Segmentation technology of Solomon SolVision AI image platform to identify defect features. First, use the Classification tool to judge whether the wafer has too many defects and eliminate the defective products that cannot be repaired. Then, use image processing technology to segment the wafer image, and use the Segmentation tool to detect the defects in the image, record their features, coordinates, area and other information, which greatly improves the efficiency of subsequent repairs.
At present, most yarn factories still rely on manual inspection, which has a high missed detection rate and consumes a long time. There are many types of yarn defects, such as paper tube stains, deformation, dirty yarn, broken yarn, thrown yarn, fluff, and two-color yarn. Manual inspection is not conducive to actual quality requirements, and automatic optical inspection (AOI) is also difficult to detect when facing non-fixed defects, and the false detection rate is high, and manual re-inspection is still required. In order to allocate labor costs to more efficient work, yarn inspection should seek higher efficiency inspection solutions.Using SolVision's Segmentation technology, feature extraction is performed on various defects on paper tubes and yarns, and AI model training is performed to enable AI to learn to identify defect features and quickly and accurately find various defects. It can effectively improve the detection rate, finished product yield and reduce the quality inspection burden. With the increase in the number of learning samples, the ability of AI to identify defects can be continuously optimized, and the learning results can also be quickly introduced into various production lines.
Using the Segmentation technology of Solomon SolVision AI image platform, the image features of micro-scratches and dirt on the wafer are located and annotated, and then used to train the AI model. Even under the image background with grinding marks, AI vision can still easily detect deep and shallow micro-scratches and other dirt defects, and accurately detect the location and area of the defects.
Due to the high temperature and heat of the welding factory, basic protection must be worn when entering, and the defects of the weld are complex and irregular. It is not easy to maintain the quality consistency by relying on artificial experience to detect the weld.Using SolVision's Segmentation technology, the appearance of normal welds, too thin or too thick welds and no welds are learned to train the AI model. Let the AI learn the characteristics of defects, and quickly detect whether the weld has defects. Pick out the defective welds for repair to effectively control the quality of the welding process.

Socks have a variety of defect forms, including snags, wrinkles, and tears. The shape, size and position of these defects are not fixed. Traditional AOI is suitable for the inspection of whole pieces of cloth, but it has difficulty in detecting defects that are not fixed, and it is easy to make false detections. Therefore, manual re-inspection is still required.By collecting images of sock defects such as snags and wrinkles, and using SolVision's Segmentation technology to complete the training of the AI model, it is possible to quickly and accurately find defects, classify different defects and remove defective products. This can help to control product quality and improve production efficiency. By classifying and analyzing defects, it is also possible to optimize the overall manufacturing process.
During the reflow process, excessive solder paste or printing offset may cause solder balls to short circuit. In the past, such defects were mostly detected by manual visual inspection, which was inefficient and affected the production efficiency. Since the flow pattern of excess solder paste under high temperature is unpredictable, it is also difficult to detect by traditional optical inspection AOI.Using the Instance Segmentation technology of Solomon SolVision AI image platform, the reflow short circuit defects in the image samples are located and annotated, and then used to train the AI model. The trained model can easily detect the short circuit between adjacent solder balls.

The colorful nature of ribbons makes automatic optical inspection difficult. Due to the complex fabric patterns, it is difficult to find specific feature points. Automatic optical inspection (AOI) is prone to missed detection or misjudgment of defects due to changes in patterns and colors.Using the Segmentation technology in SolVision to detect ribbons of various colors and patterns can accurately find the location, size and shape of defects such as holes and loose threads. Both the detection speed and accuracy can meet the standards. By recording and analyzing the appearance of defects, it is possible to trace back the problems in the manufacturing process and improve the product process.
Tires go through many high-pressure, high-load and high-temperature processes during the manufacturing process. The dust generated by the on-site machines and materials, coupled with the long-term operation of the printing process, make the surface of the inner tube blurry and the color shades uneven, affecting the recognition of the inner tube coding. After mass production, it is not conducive to manual recognition. If traditional AOI detection is used, it cannot be effectively identified in the case of unclear digital printing.Using Solomon SolVision's Segmentation technology, the numbers and shapes of the tire inner tube codes are photographed and trained for AI models. Then, optical character recognition (OCR) is used to accurately identify the codes. Even for incompletely printed or lightly colored characters, they can all be successfully identified, effectively improving the accuracy of code recognition.
Engine numbers are printed on the engine by branding. When taking images of engine numbers, they are also easily affected by shadows, resulting in uneven brightness of fonts and backgrounds, which makes it impossible to read the numbers by machine. Even with artificial visual inspection, it is still difficult to quickly identify the codes on the engine on the production line.Using the Segmentation technology of Solomon SolVision AI image platform, the model is trained with image samples of different brightness and optical character recognition (OCR) is performed to convert the engine number in the image into numerical information, which is immediately logged into the original database system and linked to the VIN.

When using traditional automatic optical inspection to detect plastic defects, it is difficult to quantify the defects due to the variety and changing positions of the defects. It is easy to encounter the problem of insufficient defect samples, which makes it difficult to quantify the defects. This leads to insufficient detection accuracy. If manual inspection is maintained, the detection speed is relatively slow and the quality is inconsistent. There are still many difficulties in identification.By using SolVision's Segmentation technology, a defect database is established for the shape and color of rubber product defects, and then AI is used to learn the characteristics of the defects. This can identify defects of various types and positions. With the increase of learning images, the ability of AI visual inspection is continuously optimized, which significantly improves the accuracy of rubber defect identification and effectively solves the problem of unstable detection of rubber product defects.
The internal components and circuits of power supplies are diverse and complex. When detecting connections, they are easily affected by background interference, which affects visual judgment. On the other hand, wires are deformable materials and can be arranged and stored in different ways depending on the assembler. These factors make it difficult for both manual and traditional optical inspection to be performed, making it difficult to effectively control product quality on the production line.Using Solomon SolVision's Segmentation technology, the correct and incorrect feature patterns are defined according to the wire color and terminal block assembly conditions in the image, and the AI model is trained. The trained AI model can accurately detect and locate wire misconnection defects and identify defective products in real time.
In the production of fasteners, the most common injection molding defects are mold release agent oil stains, white spots, burrs and debris, of which oil stains are the most difficult to detect. White spots, burrs and debris have obvious features in the image, while products with oil stains are very similar in appearance to general good products, which are difficult to detect.Using the Segmentation and Classification technology of Solomon SolVision AI image platform, deep learning is performed for each type of surface defect. After the AI model is trained, it can immediately detect all types of defects including oil stains.
Using SolVision AI image platform's unsupervised learning tool Anomaly Detection, AI deep learning is performed with non-defective image samples (Golden Sample), and data augmentation technology is used to improve the AI model's recognition of standard samples.

SMD capacitors are small in size, and it is not easy to pick and place them. To observe defects, it is necessary to observe them under microscopic tools. And because MLCCs are very fragile, the inspection process must also be very careful, which increases the difficulty of inspection.Using SolVision's Segmentation technology, the shape and location of defects on the protruding part of the electrode are learned, and an AI model is established. After the AI learns the characteristics of the defects, it can quickly detect the defects on the protruding part of the capacitor, which greatly improves the overall yield of the process.
In addition to judging whether the packaging is sealed, in order to find the root cause of the problem, it is necessary to further confirm the type and cause of the incomplete seal. However, because the different types of sealing defects are very different, and the surface of the object is highly reflective, it is not easy to find and classify the defects with either the naked eye or automatic optical inspection (AOI).Combining machine vision and artificial intelligence, Solomon uses the Classification tool of SolVision to define the state of good seal from the image and compare it with multiple defects, including incomplete bottom seal, no seal on both bottom and side, and incomplete seal on both bottom and side. It can instantly detect incompletely sealed packages and classify the defects.
SolVision's Segmentation technology performs optical character recognition (OCR), which is different from the traditional AOI workflow. It is not limited by the object background color, ambient light and multiple character types. It can accurately identify individual codes, and with the increase of the number of learning samples, it can also continuously optimize the AI's ability to identify characters, making character recognition no longer difficult.
Metal case scratches are very fine. Under normal light, it is difficult for personnel to detect defects visually because the metal material is easy to reflect light, which can easily lead to poor appearance quality problems.By using SolVision's Segmentation technology, a defect defect database is established for the appearance shape of defects, and specific defects are classified, such as obvious defects, fine defects and extremely fine defects. Deep learning is used to identify obvious defects and ignore acceptable minor defects. , Effectively improve the detection accuracy and speed, and ensure that the finished products on the production line can enter the assembly process without any defects.
Metal stamping parts can have a wide variety of defects in different shapes and sizes, and oil and water stains are even more difficult to observe.

At present, manual identification and registration of bicycle frame numbers are still used, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. If automatic optical identification (AOI) is used for character recognition, the stainless steel tube surface is a curved surface, and lighting is easy to cause reflection, making the The code on the curved surface is not clear. Whether manual or automatic optical inspection, it is more difficult to identify the characters on the curved, reflective stainless steel tube. Solomon combines machine vision and artificial intelligence to use SolVision Segmentation technology to train AI models for the gloss of the numbers on the stainless steel tube, which can achieve excellent optical character recognition results.
Since BGA solder joints are concentrated under the package, it is impossible to confirm the soldering quality by visual or traditional optical inspection methods after soldering. X-ray equipment must be used to penetrate and image to detect whether false soldering defects occur. X-ray images are grayscale images with background noise, and there are no obvious edges in the imaging, making it difficult to write logic to identify defects in the images.Using the Segmentation technology of SolVision AI image platform, the overlapping solder ball false soldering defects in the X-ray image are annotated and used to perform deep learning of the AI model. After training, the AI can accurately detect false soldering defects under the conditions of background noise and no obvious image edges.
The roof of a car is a streamlined shape, and its weld has a high and low drop, so the brightness of the images taken at each position is different.

After the AI training is completed, it can easily and quickly identify and mark the positions of abnormal pick and place on the wafer.
Wafer cutting is a very important process in the semiconductor and optoelectronics industries. If the cutting process cannot maintain high yield, high efficiency and maintain chip characteristics, it will greatly affect the overall production capacity. The quality control of the wafer cutting saw is mainly through the detection of external defects. Common external defects include irregular patterns and multiple drills on the saw body. Since the wafer cutting saw itself has circular stripes, it forms a complex image background, which seriously affects the machine vision for defect detection.Using the Feature Detection tool of SolVision AI image platform, the irregular patterns and multiple drill defects in the image samples are annotated and trained to train the AI model. AI vision can then detect various defects on the wafer cutting saw body in real time.
Since die bonding technology is the key to the packaging process, it has high requirements for speed and accuracy. However, the texture of the process image is very complex.
