AI for Manufacturing

Three modules, AI foundation, AI quality inspection and AI safety, each deployable on its own. Enterprise systems are connected read-only; no production instructions are written back to MES or ERP.

AI foundation

Data sources: MES, ERP, OA, WMS, quality systems and databases (read-only); Word, PPT, Excel and PDF (including scans); field video and sensor signals. Model scheduling covers local models, edge algorithms, cloud models and multimodal large models.

8 knowledge bases

EnterprisePolicies, organization, notices, processes, contract templates

Production processProcess cards, work instructions, inspection specifications, drawing text

EquipmentManuals, repair records, spare parts, routine checks, fault cases

SafetyPolicies, contingency plans, risk lists, cases, training, regulations

StaffRecords, certificates, training, skills, shift schedules

Business dataStructured data from MES, ERP, OA, WMS and others

Field eventsBehaviors, states and events derived from video and sensor analysis

ExperienceVerbal know-how and repair notes, promoted to formal knowledge only after confirmation

9 preset assistants

When data is insufficient, each assistant follows set rules and does not invent conclusions.

Rule

Questions on process parameters are traced to a specific table cell; if this cannot be confirmed, the assistant declines to answer. Answers cite their sources; accounts, roles, permissions and auditing are unified.

Assistant	Handling when data is insufficient
Factory knowledge	Can at least answer from imported documents and regulations
Compliance check	Can first assess against regulations and existing records
Downtime attribution	Without MES, only describes field events
Quality traceability	Without inspection data, states which data is missing
Equipment repair	Returns at least the equipment manual and confirmed records
Order progress	States clearly that it is unavailable when business systems are not connected
Safety linkage	Works from field events, policies and regulations
New-hire training	Returns current SOPs and training materials
Anomaly alerts	Alerts only within the range of existing data

AI quality inspection

20T / 50T edge boxes handle detection, judgment, alarms and linkage at the production line; core inspection does not depend on a cloud connection. Results are quantifiable, re-checkable and traceable.

Typical visual inspection

PCBA surface and markings	Scratches, dirt, burns; adhesive beads, conformal coating; barcode, silkscreen and SN mismatched with the work order
Finished product appearance and assembly	Scratches, dents, color deviation, painting; gaps, steps, clips, missing or wrong screws
Inner packaging	Missing or wrong accessories, position and orientation, foreign objects, SN consistency with packaging code
Outer packaging and palletizing	Carton damage, quantity per carton, pallet layers, label consistency with MES / ERP work orders

Custom R&D for non-standard inspection

Key feel judged from force–displacement curves
Abnormal noise detection for motors, alarms and home appliances
Screen display, touch and menu state inspection
Color, proportion, uniformity and foreign objects in liquids, powders and granules

System components: 20T / 50T edge boxes · industrial high-speed cameras · six-axis robot arms · infrared / pressure / audio sensors · MES / ERP / PLC / HMI / barcode scanners

The documentation lists 15 categories and more than 500 inspection scenarios; actual scope depends on samples, cycle time and on-site validation.

AI safety

Uses the customer’s existing cameras and sensor signals. On-shift staff working at their stations is normal; someone entering an explosion-risk zone while production is stopped raises the alarm level.

Gas, temperature, water flow and pressure require existing on-site probes; items without probes are marked as not covered in the compliance self-check.
