Jidoka Technologies bolsters its technological capabilities by launching Fujin, a cutting-edge hardware architecture model for automated cognitive inspection to cater to the manufacturing sector
Chennai: July 18, 2023: Jidoka Technologies, among the
pioneers in the field of automated cognitive inspection for manufacturing, has
recently launched Fujin, an avant-garde hardware unit. This unit is designed to
detect small and minute defects in flat surfaces that require scrupulous
inspection and are imperceptible to the human eye.
Fujin, the latest addition to Jidoka
Technologies’ range of hardware components signifies an innovative development
in the domain and is an end-to-end integrated unit with machine vision and
automation to ensure the most complete image of the defined defect at a very
high resolution. Fujin is a two-axis table for end-of-line inspection where its
motion can be designed to be used to move the product in front of the
stationary camera or to move the camera across the length and width of the
stationary component. The movement is also designed to ensure the highest
resolution possible image is taken on a limited field of view on the component
so that even very small defects on the order of 0.1 mm on a 500 mm large
product can also be captured reliably.
Fujin can be leveraged by the electronics
industry for printed circuit boards, the automobile industry for airbags
inspection in addition to machine tools inspection, and in the textile industry
as well. This unit is customized to the product type, complexity in shape,
size, nature of defects, and production volume, and fits in seamlessly on the
production line – for in-process as well as end-of-line inspections. Depending
on the component size and the requirements, Fujin can detect defects and
anomalies in products with a speed of 3 to 5 parts per minute – and an accuracy
rate of at least 98%?.
Speaking during the launch, Sekar Udayamurthy, CEO and Co-founder, of
Jidoka Technologies, said, “We are indeed excited to introduce Fujin to the
market, the advanced hardware unit in automated cognitive inspection space
which is set to alter the way manufacturers approach quality control for
detecting minute defects while helping them maintain highest quality
standards.” He further added, “Besides having a positive impact on product
quality and customer satisfaction, Fujin will support manufacturers to gain a
competitive edge with 100% visual inspection, faster processes, and a
significant increase in throughput.”
The other hardware architecture models of
Jidoka Technologies are Huron, Tigris, Miyake, and Robot integrations. These
models along with the newly launched Fujin can be paired with Jidoka’s software
platform Kompass to provide a complete solution for visual inspection
automation at speeds of even 1000 products per minute per line. AI and ML and Deep Learning technologies are
leveraged here to enhance the quality control process and increase
manufacturing efficiency.
Jidoka solutions deliver 98% or more defect
detection in the QC process with a significant increase in throughput by 33%
and a decrease in false positives by as much as 30-40%. A 20% increase in the speed of inspection,
with 5-8% further accurate detections, is also possible with the solution.
