AI interpretation of tire X-ray and shearography inspection images
Nexen Tire reported defect-detection recall up to 99.96% after deploying AI inspection
Problem
Workers interpreted non-destructive tire inspection images to find structural defects and trapped air. Very small faults could be difficult to see.
Approach
Nexen Tire worked with Neurocle and PDS Solution on an AI inspection platform. It deployed the platform on X-ray and shearography equipment at domestic and overseas factories. The system automated model training and deployment as well as image interpretation.
Results
Takeaway
The highest reported recall was not an average across every installation. The platform also shortened the work needed to create inspection models.
