Project Overview
A leading tire manufacturer partnered with Katomaran Technologies to eliminate production-line slow downs caused by manual print checks. We delivered an AI-powered system that catches misprints in real time, logs every tire, and integrates seamlessly with existing machinery under challenging lighting.
Challenges
Creating this automated inspection system presented several significant challenges
- 1Manual stops for visual checks: Production line had to be halted for quality inspections, causing significant slow downs.
- 2Lighting and curvature issues: Glare and tire curvature made standard OCR solutions ineffective.
- 3No live fault visibility: Lack of real-time monitoring delayed response to quality issues.
- 4Missing audit trail: Inadequate documentation hindered inspection and traceability requirements.
Our Solution
Katomaran Technologies delivered comprehensive solutions to address each challenge
- 1AI camera installation: Custom-positioned cameras capture defects instantly without stopping production.
- 2Advanced image preprocessing: Specialized algorithms correct for glare and tire curvature.
- 3Automated reject control: Defective tires are flagged without halting the entire production line.
- 4Centralized dashboard: Real-time monitoring system provides immediate visibility into quality metrics.
Key Modules
The AI-Powered Tire Inspection System features five essential modules
- 1AI Camera Integration: High-speed cameras that capture tire prints at full production line speed.
- 2Preprocessing Pipeline: Advanced image normalization to correct for lighting and shape distortions.
- 3Deep-Learning OCR Model: Custom-trained AI that reads characters with 99.5% accuracy despite challenging conditions.
- 4Reject Control Interface: Automated system that triggers actuators to flag defective tires.
- 5Live Dashboard & Logs: Real-time display of pass/fail statistics and comprehensive audit records.
