AI-Driven Precision Manufacturing
summary
System-level inspection built around confocal microscopy plus precise XY staging rotates 17 mm balls and captures multifocal stacks, projects them to 2D, and runs sensor-level signal processing with convex optimization followed by deep networks deployed on edge. Outcomes claim 8 minute inspection per 17 mm ball, reduced defect pass-through from ~6% to 0.3% and lowered cost of quality from 15–20% to ~4%, and using 3D point-cloud models like PointNet/PointNet++ → ~0.01% escape rate.
