INSPECTION RUN [4 records]

Record 1 2023-03-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Applications of Automation
CONT

A computer vision inspection system is used in a production line to carry out responsibilities that humans struggle with. In this use case, the system uses high-resolution images to build a full 3D [tridimensional] model of components and their connector pins. As components run through the manufacturing plant, the computer vision system captures various images from different angles to generate a 3D model. These images, when combined and fed to AI [artificial intelligence] algorithms, identify any faulty threading or minor deviation from the design.

CONT

... Today we don not often call the locomotive an "iron horse, "nor do we call the engine-house or roundhouse in which locomotives are kept a stable, but the places in the roundhouse where the locomotives are kept are still called "stalls, "and the roundhouse men who look after the locomotives and take tem in and out of their "stall" are still called "hostlers. "When a locomotive finishes its run, it is usually taken to an engine terminal. At the terminal is the roundhouse, where engines are cleaned and given light or "running" repairs, and made ready for their next runs. The engine terminal also includes a coaling station, a water tank, a sand house, an oil house and an ash pit... The roundhouse is a sort of locomotive garage. its name is derived from its shape. Many roundhouses are semi-circular in shape, many other form a complete circle except for one or two openings for entrance and exit tracks... Long pits between the tracks in the stalls permit inspection and repair of locomotives from underneath...
