ChinaManufacturing2026 – ongoingChaozhou Three-Circle
AI visual inspection of multilayer ceramic capacitors
Chaozhou Three-Circle reported 99.5% defect-recognition accuracy for capacitor inspection
Problem
Inspecting multilayer ceramic capacitors required accurate defect recognition at production speed. Manual inspection limited throughput.
Approach
Chaozhou Three-Circle applied AI machine vision to inspect capacitor defects. By February 2026, the company described the technology as deployed across its core production lines. Its subsequent plans for AI-assisted materials development were a separate initiative.
Results
Takeaway
Inspection had reached core production lines before the company expanded its plans into materials development. The reported efficiency comparison was against manual inspection.
