On the other hand, have you ever heard about the 1-10-100 rule, in quality assurance area, one dollar spent on prevention will save 10 dollars on correction and 100 dollar on failure costs. That’s why most enterprises are willing to invest more on prevention and even correction stages. With the help of technology, now you can use AI in prevention stage to find the defects and correct it earlier. ?

SUNTECH Textile Machinery, as a leading expert of automated textile machinery, presents the AI Visual Inspection system, let’s dive into how it works.

1. Precision of Inspection:

Our cutting-edge system boasts an astounding accuracy of 0.1mm, which can be tailored to meet your specific requirements. This guarantees that even the most minuscule imperfections will not elude our advanced detection mechanisms, offering you complete peace of mind.

2. Unmatched Detection Rate:

Traditional manual fabric defect inspections could only achieve a maximum detection rate of 90%. In contrast, our AI Automated Visual Inspection System excels with a remarkable 95% defects detection rate. Its continuous learning capabilities enable it to enhance defect identification processes and optimize flaw detection, providing you with unparalleled quality control.

3. Unprecedented Inspection Speed:

The inspection speed of our system depends on the applied machine types and camera numbers. Typically, a human inspector can reach a speed of 10-15m per minute. However, with ST-Thinkor's AI Automated Visual Inspection System, customers have the flexibility to choose the ideal cloth inspection speed to meet their specific needs. Equipped with state-of-the-art 50-megapixel high-speed cameras, our system offers exceptional imaging capabilities, enabling fully automated inspections at speeds of up to 150 mm/min.?Furthermore, with 24-hour real-time monitoring, you can be confident that every inch of your fabric undergoes thorough inspection.

4. Camera Configuration:

To ensure optimal performance, we provide a precise number of high-speed cameras tailored to the fabric width and desired inspection accuracy. For instance, a 1.5m wide fabric can be effectively covered by four high-speed cameras, enabling fully automated inspection with a remarkable accuracy of 0.4mm, all while maintaining a swift speed of 60m/min. As you increase the number of cameras, you unlock even greater inspection speeds and enhanced accuracy, providing unparalleled control over the inspection process.

5. Seamless ERP/Mess Integration:

Our system seamlessly integrates with industry-leading factory management software, including ERP and MESS. This integration offers a seamless synergy between our product and these advanced management tools. You gain access to comprehensive management features that effortlessly display coordinates and defect images. By incorporating this valuable data into a fabric defects map, our solution optimizes cutting processes and significantly enhances overall performance. It is the ultimate choice for any textile production line, elevating your quality control to new heights.
