Enhanced Inspection Capabilities with Large Model Integration
Screen quality serves as a crucial representation of industrial design aesthetics in the smartphone industry, being a core touchpoint for user experience. Market demands exhibit an extremely stringent "zero defects" attitude towards surface defects.
However, amidst the high-end evolution of the 3C industry, quality inspection of smartphone glass covers has long been plagued by challenges: surface blemishes arising from curved edges, hundreds of microscopic cracks, edge collapses, and various imperfections that stealthily cause incalculable quality losses to businesses annually.
To address this, leveraging over two decades of core technological expertise and extensive industry Know-how, SmartMore has crafted a new generation Intelligent Inspection Solution for Mobile Front Cover Glass. It deeply integrates cutting-edge large models and intelligent body technologies, and highly integrates industrial AI algorithms, optical design, and mechanical engineering into a full-stack technology. With a single scan, it achieves 360° comprehensive visual defect detection, setting a new standard in ultra-precision intelligent inspection throughout the production process.
Intelligent Inspection Solution for Mobile Front Cover Glass
The solution completely resolves the issue of directional defects being difficult to image at once by employing proprietary highly directional cross-line light and prism field fusion technology. It is fully compatible with 2D, 2.5D, and 3D glass, significantly expanding the scope of detection. Additionally, the solution introduces a unique multi-loop cooling system, enabling seamless switching between water and air cooling, pushing the brightness limits in the industry, further enhancing optical inspection efficiency, and successfully overcoming the industry challenge of imaging micron-level hidden defects.
In the entire solution ecosystem, if the optical system acts as the "keen eye," SmartMore self-developed industrial large model endows it with the "most powerful brain." By embedding the IndustryGPT large model engine and utilising advanced AIGC technology, the solution swiftly generates rare defect data, assists in model training and iteration, accurately identifies defect types and locations, and continuously optimises intelligent inspection effectiveness.
Accurate Identification of 100+ Complex Defects
Empowered by the industrial large model, the next-generation intelligent inspection solution's visual algorithm accuracy sees a significant boost. Based on pixel-level processing visual algorithms and multi-type defect recognition technology, coupled with dynamic data registration and intelligent ROI division technology, the solution achieves ultra-precise defect identification of ≤12μm, intelligently categorising over a hundred complex defects such as scratches, edge collapses, convex-concave points, black-white spots, jagged edges, transparency, contamination, hair/fibre, broken positioning lines, holes, and slots.
Moreover, the solution supports end-to-end data visualisation management, deeply integrating with MES systems to construct a multi-dimensional data traceability system. This system enables precise tracing of product defects back to specific work orders, equipment parameters, and operators, providing data support for targeted process optimisation and effectively driving continuous yield improvement.
AI-AOI Equipment Accelerates Cultivation of New Productive Forces
Beyond advanced industrial large model technology, in the face of the 3C industry's requirements for large-scale production and diversified customisation, hardware equipment is equally crucial.
The new generation Intelligent Inspection Solution for Mobile Front Cover Glass is equipped with a 5-station array/line scan camera system, complemented by 180° flip and 90° lift-rotate design, enabling all-around scanning of glass cover surfaces in the front, back, sides, holes, and curved edges for full-dimensional, comprehensive detection. Through internal dust-free belt transport and time-frequency flash imaging technology, the solution further ensures zero damage to products during inspection, guaranteeing high-quality product delivery, showcasing a prime example of the seamless integration of advanced AI-AOI technology and mechanical design.
Customised Mechanical Design Ensures High-Quality Production
Taking data from the deployment at a global leading smartphone manufacturer as an example, efficiency and accuracy have seen a dual improvement post-implementation of the solution. Production output per hour (UPH) reaches 2000 pieces, with a detection cycle (CT) reduced to 1.8 seconds, achieving over 88% efficiency improvement compared to manual inspection. It supports 100% full inspection on high-speed production lines, reducing 8-9 inspection personnel per line, and realizing a comprehensive return on investment during the equipment's lifecycle, exceeding industry standards.
Furthermore, SmartMore has injected a "flexible gene" into the solution. Through a modular automatic re-inspection system, quick adaptation is achieved with simple parameter adjustments and programme switches. In the deployed production lines mentioned earlier, SmartMore's solution enables swift adaptation for different products, achieving white glass conversion in 0.5 hours and finished product conversion in 4-10 hours, easily meeting the changing production demands. Leveraging the core engine of the industrial large model, the equipment maintains high operational standards consistently, significantly enhancing production efficiency and economic benefits.
As the new generation Intelligent Inspection Solution for Mobile Front Cover Glass finds widespread application in the 3C industry, SmartMore AI-AOI solutions continue to expand into more industries and specialised fields. In the future, SmartMore will persist in technological innovation, broadening the application boundaries of artificial intelligence and smart manufacturing, to create more value for global customers.
