A Tier 1 automotive parts manufacturer could not detect critical surface defects on injected-molded, reflective plastic parts.

Eigen designed a vision solution featuring thermal and optical cameras and lighting system to make surface defects visible. Using data captured during production and Eigen’s OneView software, the team deployed a machine learning algorithm to detect multiple defects (i.e. short-shot, read-through, splay, etc.) in real-time and monitor key process settings.
