Pilot operation of the [Image-Based Label Inspection Support System] using a camera-equipped PC has started.

2022/4/28

TRIART Corporation (headquartered in Iizuka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; CEO: Kentaro Imazu, hereafter TRIART) has developed and begun test operation of a pilot version of the [Image-Based Label Inspection Support System (tentative name)]. This system detects target text strings and images on product packages using a camera and displays differences compared to master (reference) images.

Our company has utilized proprietary Composite AI＊1 technology that achieves high-precision image recognition to provide the image and drawing comparison system 『MIIDEL＊2』, which instantly detects changes between old and new documents often overlooked by visual inspection, and has developed the [Defective Product Analysis and Sensing System＊3] that detects defects such as cracks in parts from thermal camera images in manufacturing plants.
Amid this, we have received many requests for support in inspection work that compares the label contents of each manufactured product with master (reference) data. Consequently, we developed a pilot version of the [Image-Based Label Inspection Support System (tentative name)]. We have begun operational testing with some companies to verify accuracy and usability in inspection sites.

In this pilot version, the system automatically detects target text and images in photos taken by a camera attached to a PC＊4, compares them with master data, and displays and records difference images and matching rates. Unlike fixed desktop PCs or factory-integrated systems, it is designed for operation on laptops or tablets, providing mobility and real-time capability for inspection work. By supporting automation of verification tasks previously done visually by humans, significant reductions in time and cost are expected.
Through this test operation, we anticipate general use in manufacturing, quality control, accounting, and other departments where inspection tasks occur. We will incorporate test results and optimize the Composite AI engine to aim for early provision of the product version.

*1 Technology name: Composite AI ‘4CAS’. Composite AI means ‘Composite Artificial Intelligence’. It consists of a series of multiple control system AIs and has a proven track record in processing qualitative sensory information that is difficult to quantify, simulating human sensory judgments.
