Visual AI: Computer Vision in Industry
Visual AI: Computer Vision in Industry Visual AI, or computer vision powered by modern artificial intelligence, helps machines see and understand the real world. In industry, it turns camera feeds into actionable data. This makes manufacturing processes more reliable, faster, and safer, with less manual checking. Common use cases Quality control and defect detection: verify dimensions, surface finish, and consistency on the line. Assembly verification: ensure parts are in the correct position and orientation. Inventory and asset tracking: count items and monitor stock on shelves. Process monitoring: watch colors, temperatures, or timing to keep the process steady. Safety and compliance: spot hazards and flag potential risks for workers. How it works Most systems combine cameras, light, and AI models. A local edge device or on-site server runs inference on each image. The results can trigger an automatic action, such as moving a belt, stopping a line, or notifying a supervisor. Data is logged for traceability and future training. ...
