How AI improves manufacturing quality - IBM Industries

Artificial intelligence that can see and hear defects in manufacturing? AI already helps us reduce traffic congestion, makes cities safer, and limits air pollution. And now it can be the eyes and ears of manufacturing quality checks--identifying wonky engines, missing circuit board components, and scratched screens to remove defective parts and products before they hit the marketplace. Almost any manufactured part could benefit from AI's gaze. "Any industry where manufacturing flaws can be detected visually is suitable for AI," said Jiani Zhang, Watson IoT Director of Product Management.
