BOT+ AI vision inspection at spandex factories
Hyosung TNC introduced AI camera inspection within a smart-factory rollout covering 5 factories
Problem
Workers visually monitored spandex production for defects and process problems. Hyosung TNC wanted more consistent quality across overseas factories.
Approach
Group affiliate Hyosung ITX developed BOT+ for Hyosung TNC's spandex factories and completed delivery in August 2018. AI analyzed high-speed camera data to identify defects and production problems. The broader rollout included process monitoring and quality-control systems.
Results
Takeaway
AI inspection formed part of a wider production-system installation. Hyosung did not quantify defect reduction or inspection accuracy.
