Problem

Manual inspection struggled to catch bottle defects and inconsistent fill levels on a moving conveyor. Export shipments needed consistent quality.

Approach

The producer installed cameras and hardware with Superb AI supporting model development and integration. The system checked caps, printed labels and liquid levels, then automatically removed rejected bottles. Superb AI refined the model using production images over 3 months.

Results

3workers previously handling manual inspection, with staff reallocated after automation, per Superb AIVendor case study[1]
2–3 secondstime for inference results to reach the server, per Superb AIVendor case study[1]

Takeaway

Automating primary inspection left workers available for secondary checks. Deployment also required camera calibration and repeated image collection on the operating line.
