ARCADE

DETECTION OF QUALITY FLAWS IN AUTOMOBILE PRODUCTION LINES

Smart cameras and cutting-edge sensors detect flaws in vehicles, from paint errors to missing components.


ARCADE, based on computer vision, is a powerful tool for detecting nonconformities in vehicles during their production. The system captures detailed images of vehicles and analyses them in real-time. ARCADE helps automotive factories to improve the efficiency and accuracy of their quality control processes, reduce the number of defective vehicles produced and ultimately improve customer satisfaction.
ARCADE can be applied to various processes within a vehicle's production, proving its versatility.

  • PAINTING: Conformity of sealing cords under casing, control of MAG Brandcard
  • STAMPING: Control of punching parts and container centering
  • ASSEMBLY: Exterior and interior conformity, under casing conformity, control of surface appearance, registration of final vehicle appearance

The ARCADE system uses advanced artificial intelligence tools and neural networks to process images in real-time and accurately detect any nonconformities. A communicatons frame ensures that the inspection process is tailored to each specific vehicle, so that all relevant attributes are being controlled. The system can immediately alert factory operators if there is an anomaly detected, allowing them to take rapid corrective action.

The ARCADE system uses various advanced technologies such as:

  • CNNs (Convolutional Neural Networks) - A type of artificial neural network used to analyse images captured by the AI camera. They can detect patterns and features in images, enabling the system to identify various flaws on a vehicle.
  • Machine Learning - A type of artificial intelligence which improves the accuracy and effectiveness of the system over time. Machine learning algorithms can analyse data and learn from it, enabling the ARCADE system to make better decisions in the future.
  • IoT (Internet of Things) - IoT refers to the network of interconnected devices and systems that are capable of exchanging data and communicating with one another. By leveraging the power of IoT, the ARCADE system can provide real-time monitoring and analysis of vehicles, enabling rapid corrections to any detected quality flaws.

At MERASYS, we are proud to say that we have made significant progress in the automotive industry by installing our computer vision systems in multiple factories.

  • A total of 199 cameras are installed across multiple factories in Spain and Morocco.
  • Approximately 935,000 vehicles are controlled by our ARCADE system each year.
  • At the STELLANTIS factory in Vigo in particular, 163 cameras across 4 different workshops control around 500,000 vehicles each year.

STAMPING WORKSHOP - In the stamping workshop, the control of punching of parts and container centering system is essential because it helps ensure that each part is made to the correct specifications and is properly positioned for assembly.

ASSEMBLY WORKSHOP - During the assembly process, the exterior and interior conformity systems, under casing conformity system, control of surface appearance system and registration of final vehicle appearance in 4K system are all critical. This way, each vehicle meets high standards of quality and look aesthetically pleasing.

BODY IN WHITE WORKSHOP - Conformity control in the body in white workshops is an important tool for assuring that the vehicles are built to the correct specifications. Body in white refers to the stage in the production process where the car's body structure is assembled but before it's painted or trimmed. Therefore, vehicles are built correctly from the outset, helping to prevent issues down the line and improve the efficiency of the production process.

PAINTING WORKSHOP - The painting workshop's conformity of sealing cords under casing system ensures that each vehicle is properly sealed and protected from the elements. The metalworks workshop's visual control of MAG Brandcard system is also noteworthy because it makes sure that the proper branding is applied to each vehicle.
