International Center for Networked, Adaptive Production
ICNAP to exhibit AI-supported quality control analysis system at SPS 2024.
The International Center for Networked, Adaptive Production (ICNAP), which is made up of the three Aachen-based Fraunhofer institutes, is set to attend the SPS trade fair in Nuremberg. The ICNAP is set to present its AI-supported analysis system for visual quality control, to demonstrate how deep learning can check weld seams on battery cell modules to detect defects in real-time.
During the show, the ICNAP will demonstrate how the solution can automate the detection of defects when inspecting weld seams on battery cell modules. Engineers will show how a battery cell module is manually placed under a camera, a photo will then be taken and analysed using a pre-trained deep learning model. Throughout production, AI will independently detect defects traditionally identified by trained specialists. Defects will be detected in colour and in real time.
While ICNAP will focus on battery cell module inspection at the event, the system can be used in other visual surface inspection applications. The goal of the solution is to optimise production efficiency, consistency, and quality assurance by automating the inspection process.
About the International Center for Networked Adaptive Production
ICNAP is a collaboration of the three Aachen-based Fraunhofer Institutes for Production Technology IPT, for Laser Technology ILT, and for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology IME, as well as 24 global companies. Originally founded as an open research community, the ICNAP develops and tests new approaches to innovate digitalisation within production environments.
If you are looking to attend the ICNAP’s stand at SPS from 12-14 November, you will be able to find the company in Hall 6 at Stand 6-357.
