Moving assembly lines are prone to quality issues, and tools like "Pick-to-Light" or single-shot visual defect detection systems are useless in these scenarios. In such cases, it is important to validate the assembly step-by-step using a variety of cues including operator movements, tool usage, and the portion of the assembly that is visible. Our Assembly Copilot solution is deployed across diverse industries from Automotive OEMs, automotive part suppliers, HVAC, and appliance manufacturers, to maximize yield and operator throughput on moving assembly lines. Here's a screenshot video from an actual shopfloor where Assembly Copilot tracks individual assembly steps from a single camera in real-time. The system is setup to first alert the associate via a stack light if a mistake is detected, and then stop the conveyor belt altogether if remedial action is not taken immediately. Are rework, scrap, or product return costs significant issues for your assembly operations?

We are presenting our latest work on self-supervised machine learning from procedural human activities at ECCV 2024 this week. Over the past several years, our CTO, Dr. Quoc-Huy Tran has continued to advance the state-of-the-art on problems in unsupervised, self-supervised, and low-shot learning from multi-modal data covering goal-directed activities. This work has resulted in a dozen granted patents and publications at top conferences including NeurIPS, CVPR, ECCV, WACV, and ICRA. It has also been cited and expanded upon by research labs from Microsoft, Meta, and Google among others. Please visit the research page on our website to download the technical papers, watch introductory videos, and download code and datasets for these projects: https://lnkd.in/gRURAatv #AIforHumans

AI is going to replace humans... We have heard this time and again, but is it really the case? The purpose of AI is not to "replace" humans, rather help them do more meaningful tasks, so workers don't waste time in non-value add work. In the second episode of Factory Forward Podcast, Beau Groover highlights how important it is to embrace technology.

Conducting time studies and performing a line re-balance exercise can take multiple weeks for even a small assembly line. Kaizen Copilot allows manufacturing engineers to perform automatic line re-balancing while providing AI-powered suggestions for improvements. The solution works with video recorded from ordinary cellphone cameras, and automatically infers meaningful assembly steps that are consistent across cycles. This enables an engineer to acquire measurements from even a large number of recorded cycles within minutes. In actual deployments, engineers have been able to perform time studies and line re-balancing in 40x less time. Reach out to get a demo today!

The last episode of the Factory Forward Podcast was thought provoking. Dr Bob Emiliani shared his valuable insights into the mindset shift required for successful lean implementation. Missed it? You can still catch it! #leadership #podcast #manufacturing #leanmanufacturing
Lean implementation is not a quick fix! It requires a long-term commitment and understanding of the underlying beliefs and behaviors. But top leaders can sometimes act as gatekeepers, and may only embrace the rhetoric of lean while clinging to old practices. See what Dr. Bob Emiliani has to say about lean transformation in organizations.
