Case Study: HY Machinery

AI Inspection Down to Every Pixel

The Background

HY Machinery has been the leading manufacturer of LCD inspection machines. Its clients include InnoLux (emerging as the world's second-largest display manufacturer) and CMO (World's 4th largest TFT-LCD manufacturer). Automated optical inspection (AOI) has been part of the production process for these global-scale manufacturers, but they are looking for AI-enabled AOI machines to speed up and scale up the inspection process.

Why AI-enhanced AOI

Manufacturing has gone through various revolutions in the past few decades. This transformation includes smart factories equipped with robots, sensors, and massive data waiting to be analyzed. Viverie AI's data scientists and developers built a system for data injection from AOI and trained the neural network to detect the tinniest anomaly on an LCD panel. With the cloud support and 5G networks, the inspection process is speeding up with tremendous flexibility. HY Machinery's clients see the AI-enhanced AOI as the key to reach the production capacity they plan to expand in the next few years.

The Solution

Many AI algorithms can be used to enhance AOI, but the challenge is the right combination of algorithms. The secret is in the recipe. Our data scientists have years of experience using AI to enhance computer visions, and the team comes up with a unique data set and training plan to reach the ideal percentage of success rate. The neural networks are deployed to the AOI machines on the factory floor to re-test and re-tune for the long-term optimization plan. HY Machinery's AI-enhanced inspection machines can detect anomalies faster, complete inspections more accurately, and even allow a 24/7 production line. The enhanced inspection process help clients stay competitive and reach the efficiency they need to increase market share.
