Download or read book Automating Quality Systems written by J.D. Tannock and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality is a topical issue in manufacturing. Competitive quality performance still eludes many manufacturers in the traditional industrialized countries. A lack of quality competitiveness is one of the root causes of the relative industrial decline and consequent trade imbalances which plague some Western economies. Many explanations are advanced for poor quality performance. Inadequate levels of investment in advanced technology, together with insufficient education and training of the workforce, are perhaps the most prominent. Some believe these problems are caused by a lack of awareness and commitment from top management, while others point to differences between industrial cultures. The established remedy is known as Total Quality Management (TQM). TQM requires a corporate culture change, driven from the top, and involving every employee in a process of never-ending quality improvement aimed at internal as well as external customers. The techniques deployed to achieve TQM include measures to improve motivation, training in problem-solving and statistical process control (SPC). Quality is, however, only one of the competitive pressures placed It is also upon the manufacturer by the modem global economy. imperative to remain economical and efficient, while increasing the flexibility and responsiveness of the design and manufacturing functions. Here the reduction or elimination of stock is of great importance, particularly as financial interest rates in the less successful manufacturing nations are frequently high. Product life cycles must become ever more compressed in response to the phenomenal design to-manufacture performance of some Pacific rim economies.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial manufacturing depends on machine vision to provide automated inspection based on precise imaging, including an analysis of each component under inspection. Professionals in such industries utilize machine vision to replace manual inspections with a superior repeatable systematic process. Manufacturing relies in the fastidious inspection of parts to thoroughly detect and capture inaccurate components within processes. It is essential for industrial manufacturing systems to provide scrupulous inspections and produce factual results. A major technological challenge is in adopting the machine vision inspection to be seamlessly used in multiple factory settings, which currently requires a significant amount of manual parameter tuning for the same inspection to work in different settings. The purpose of this research is to enable and facilitate application of machine vision to conduct automated inspection across multiple factory settings. This research presents a multi-step approach for machine vision assisted inspection of manufactured components, developed specifically for the use in multiple factory settings. The proposed approach differs from other methods in that this developed approach addresses the problem of significantly reducing eliminating the need to manually configure the machine vision parameters, in varying industrial manufacturing environments. In this research a general approach for inspection in multiple settings is described. Then, this developed approach is successfully applied to the problem of wire detection. Current machine vision inspection methods require complete customization of machine vision for each part in the inspection process. This research enables the capability for a machine vision assisted inspection to work effectively across varying industrial manufacturing systems.

This book will be of interest to users and developers of commercial industrial inspection systems as well as researchers in the fields of machine vision, artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing engineering.
Download or read book Automatic Vision System for Surface Inspection and Monitoring written by Karim Tout and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual inspection of finished products has always been one of the basic and most recognized applications of quality control in any industry. This inspection remains largely a manual process conducted by operators, and thus faces considerable limitations that make it unreliable. Therefore, it is necessary to automatize this inspection for better efficiency. The main goal of this thesis is to design an automatic visual inspection system for surface inspection and monitoring. The specific application of wheel inspection is considered to study the design and installation setup of the imaging system. Then, two inspection methods are developed: a defect detection method on the product's surface and a change-point detection method in the parameters of the non-stationary inspection process. Because in an industrial context it is necessary to control the false alarm rate, the two proposed methods are cast into the framework of hypothesis testing theory. A parametric approach is proposed to model the non-anomalous part of the observations. The model parameters are estimated to design a statistical test whose performances are analytically known. Finally, the impact of illumination degradation on the defect detection performance is studied in order to predict the maintenance needs of the imaging system. Numerical results on a large set of real images highlight the relevance of the proposed approach.
Download or read book Vision and Information Processing for Automation written by A. Browne and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-09 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developments in electronic hardware, particularly microprocessors and solid-state cameras, have resulted in a vast explosion in the range and variety of applications to which intelligent processing may be applied to yield cost-effective automation. Typical examples include automated visual inspection and repetitive assembly. The technology required is recent and specialized, and is thus not widely known. VISION AND INFORMATION PROCESSING FOR AUTOMATION has arisen from a short course given by the authors to introduce potential users to the technology. Its content is a development and extension of material presented in the course. The objective of the book is to introduce readers to modern concepts and techniques basic to intelligent automation, and explain how these are applied to prac tical problems. Its emphasis is on machine vision. Intelligent instrumentation is concerned with processing infor mation, and an appreciation of the nature of information is essential in configuring instrumentation to handle it effiCiently. An understand ing of the fundamental principles of efficient computation and of the way in which machines make decisions is vital for the same reasons. Selection of appropriate sensing (e.g., camera type and configuration), of illumination, of hardware for processing (microchip or parallel processor?) to give most effective information flow, and of the most appropriate processing algorithms is critical in obtaining an optimal solution. Analysis of performance, to demonstrate that requirements have been met, and to identify the causes if they have not, is also important. All of these topics are covered in this volume.
