How Artificial Intelligence Works in Quality Control

Few areas of industrial technology today remain untouched by artificial intelligence (AI). From controllers to ERP to food safety and robots, AI is changing the technologies we use to run manufacturing and processing facilities in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. One application with a big potential to benefit from AI is quality control software. The use of smart cameras and related AI-enabled software are helping manufacturers achieve improved quality inspection at speeds, latency, and costs beyond the capabilities of human inspectors. And the timing of the arrival of these smart camera technologies is fortuitous, give the social distancing requirements of COVID-19.
