Cosmetic Inspection System
Designed and built an automated cosmetic inspection system that lifted a $2M financial burden and eliminated 16 hours/day of manual inspection labor, improving manufacturing throughput by 300%.
Created in February 2023, this system lifted a $2M financial burden by automatically imaging parts for hardware detection and cosmetic defects — eliminating 16 hours/day of manual labor and increasing throughput by 300% across the factory floor.
The system features a steel tube frame, robotic arm, camera, safety locking mechanism, user interface, and PDF report generation.
Capable of detecting scratching (20–100 micron), fingerprints, hardware (helicoils), serial numbers/barcodes, and hole dimensions.
