AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The lack of a unified centralized management platform for existing automated appearance inspection equipment leads to communication barriers between inspection modules, complex configuration of inspection parameters, redundant configuration of hardware resources, and difficulty in ensuring inspection consistency, which affects inspection efficiency and stability.

Method used

The detection system adopts a hierarchical collaborative architecture, including an interaction module, a control module, a data storage module, a vision inspection module, and a PLC execution module. Detection parameters are entered through a visual interface, and vision inspection and PLC execution are uniformly scheduled to achieve automated management and collaborative execution of the detection process.

Benefits of technology

Simplify the configuration of testing parameters, improve the synergy and ease of operation of the testing system, enhance testing efficiency and consistency, adapt to the needs of multi-variety, small-batch production, and reduce the operating threshold and enterprise costs.
