AI tire specification inspection at Zeekr's Hangzhou Bay factory
Zeekr reported checking tire specifications within 1 second on its mixed-model production line
Problem
Zeekr's factory assembled different models with customized configurations on the same line. Multiple tire specifications made installation errors a recurring inspection concern.
Approach
Zeekr collected production data, trained AI vision models and tested them on the line before operational use. At the Hangzhou Bay factory, its 5G-connected visual inspection system checked tire information during assembly.
Results
Takeaway
The tire check addressed configuration errors at a specific assembly step. Zeekr did not disclose the sample or measurement period behind its reported interception rate.
