ML6 machine learning quality inspection in manufacturing.
September 19, 2023 — Many companies view machine learning as a black box, uncertain about its workings and applications. ML6 aims to demystify this technology in manufacturing by developing a proven methodology to automate quality inspection quickly, effectively, and affordably.
With over ten years of practical experience, ML6 uses vision technology and smart algorithms to help clients improve process automation, product quality, and operational efficiency across diverse sectors — from cigars and carpets to microchips and agricultural machinery.
ML6’s approach operates on three levels: gathering visual data to detect product or process defects; adjusting production to remove faulty items efficiently; and feeding insights back to optimize process parameters and prevent future defects. This results in substantial savings, waste reduction, and deeper process understanding.
The solution is designed to be accessible to SMEs, relying on budget-friendly hardware and flexible integration. Clients can expect model implementation within a week and full operational deployment within three months, including staff training for seamless adoption.
A notable example is ML6’s collaboration with machine builder Cosmec, developing an automated system to detect and remove defective bricks from production lines, replacing manual inspection and generating valuable quality insights.
