DK SDD surface inspection of color-coated steel
Dongkuk CM deployed AI inspection capable of detecting steel defects at 130 meters per minute
Problem
Skilled inspectors visually checked long steel coils. Patterns and uneven surfaces on color-coated steel could be mistaken for defects.
Approach
Dongkuk CM developed DK SDD using deep learning combined with rules. Cameras supplied continuous production images. The system entered commercial operation on the Busan construction-material coating line; appliance-line validation remained separate.
Results
Takeaway
Commercial use covered one production line while validation continued for another product range.
