The production of tires demands an unwavering focus on quality and safety. KC tire manufacturer faced significant challenges in maintaining consistent quality control for their tire fabrics, a critical component of tire safety.
To address this concern, they implemented FabriQC, an automated tire fabric inspection system, in their production line. Using this system revolutionized their production process, ensuring that every tire fabric met the highest standards. With this innovative approach, the manufacturer not only improved product quality but also set new industry benchmarks, positioning themselves as a leader in tire safety and performance.
The Challenge
The Solution
The cameras continuously scanned the fabric for any defects, such as tears or inconsistencies in texture and color. Utilizing advanced machine vision algorithms and ML models they successfully identified even the smallest anomalies, analyzed the data in real-time, and ensured that only the highest quality fabric was used in tire production.
Another benefit of using FabriQC intelligent inspection system is the ability to have online access to real-time inspection data to uncover the root causes of defects. Tire manufacturers gain invaluable insights into production process issues by scrutinizing data on defect types, frequencies, and locations. Using this knowledge, they could implement targeted improvements, optimize production parameters, and enhance tire quality across the factory.
