In this step, the quality control of the output still occurs analogically through the inspection by the employees, thus making the process strictly connected to the performance of human beings, subjective and variable over time and people.<\/p>\n<p>We therefore hypothesized to support this \u201cmanual\u201d control with a Computer Vision system that tracked down every single imperfection, making the control more reliable and allowing to assign employees to tasks with greater added value.<\/p>\n<p>The automatic production control allows Tecnolaser to reduce inspection time and to limit any further painting where unnecessary. According to our estimates, with production time savings of over 50%.<\/p>\n<p>The automated quality control therefore reduces time, costs and it\u2019s more reliable.
