Computer Vision for Zero-Defect Assembly Lines

Enabling zero-defect manufacturing through edge based visual quality control

The Challenge

A mid-sized electronics manufacturer faced high defect rates due to human error in visual quality checks. Minor faults—misaligned components, missing screws—often slipped through manual inspection, resulting in product returns, rework costs, and brand damage.

Our Approach

We deployed an Edge-based Computer Vision System trained on real production footage. Features included:

  • Real-time video feed analysis to flag defective units on the assembly line
  • Detection of micro-level inconsistencies using transfer learning from pre-trained models
  • Integration with conveyor belt PLCs to auto-reject faulty products
  • A no-code dashboard for QA leads to retrain models using new defect images

Latency and lighting variability were solved via hardware-optimized models running on NVIDIA Jetson devices.

Stats

Defect escape rate cut from 8.2% to 1.3%

Manual inspection time reduced by 70%
First-pass yield increased by 19% in 2 months

The Outcome

This wasn’t just quality control—it was quality assurance powered by real-time vision intelligence.
