AI in practice: Identify defective components with AutoML in GCP

Until recently, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) was only possible with great effort and construction of own neural networks. Today, the barrier to entering the world of AI through cloud computing services has fallen dramatically. Thus, one can immediately use current AI technology for the (partial) automation of the quality control of components without having to invest heavily in AI research. In this article, we show how such an AI system can be implemented exemplarily on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). For this purpose, we train a model using AutoML and integrate it perspectively using Cloud Functions and App Engine into a process where manual corrections in quality control are possible.
