Defect Detection: Quality Control

in Biomedical Manufacturing
1
CV LIFE SCIENCES

OPPORTUNITY
A leading manufacturer of spinal surgical implants has identified the labor-intensive quality control
processes as a bottleneck in their manufacturing process.

SOLUTION
TensorIoT designed a physical compartment to facilitate image capture as part of a machine learning
workflow, allowing highly controlled images to be captured and fed into a datalake. TensorIoT also designed
an accompanying ingestion pipeline and workflow to facilitate easy tagging of all metadata (part #, ground
truth defect identification, etc) to help the customer build out the metadata needed to train computer
vision machine learning models to recognize defects.

OUTCOME
The customer has begun to gather the data needed to train computer vision models to screen for any
defects in their surgical parts automatically, including chips, scratches, and anodization.

CV MANUFACTURING

OPPORTUNITY
Automate the inventory verification performed when products are palletized for shipping and distribution.

SOLUTION
TensorIoT developed camera devices providing 360-degree vision of the pallet wrapper that are connected
to a NUC IoT device managed by AWS Greengrass. Visual data was supplied to machine vision algorithms
trained using AWS SageMaker.

OUTCOME
After training, algorithms were able to accurately identify and count products, successfully eliminating the
need for manual counting while reducing error rates.

A FOOD COMPANY, OFFERING CHICKEN, BEEF, PORK, AND PREPARED FOODS

ML and Computer Vision-backed

Platform for Manufacturing and
Inventory Control 3

CV ENTERPRISE FOOD PROCESSING

OPPORTUNITY
Increase efficiency by reducing product loss at factories, identifying spoilage, and ensuring quality
standards for shipments, using device telemetry and computer vision.

SOLUTION
TensorIoT assisted with a machine learning implementation on the edge, via Amazon Greengrass and
Sagemaker, which automated the identification and tracking of produce. TensorIoT developed an
administrative dashboard for displaying SKU identification and product insights.

OUTCOME
Our ML-edge solution saved approximately $50 million by improving manufacturing processes, including
SKU identification for product tracking and ML-trained computer vision that identifies spoiled food.
