Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI)
By utilizing smart high-resolution cameras and advanced image processing algorithms, AOI systems swiftly and accurately inspect and identify each and every manufactured component. The low latency, high throughput processing of the Hailo processors removes the analytics bottlenecks, enabling machines to run at full speed and maximum productivity and up time without compromising on quality. Hailo’s customers are using its processors for multiple tasks including:
- Optical character recognition (OCR)
- Sorting
- Pick & place
- Quality control
Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGV)
Taking a growing part in manufacturing operations, today’s industrial robots also need to function in a human environment – cooperating on various tasks and navigating the jointly occupied space. The Hailo AI processors are designed to preform deep learning tasks such as object detection and classification, route planning and navigation, obstacle avoidance and clearance, complex pattern recognition and many others, which enable autonomous robots to find their way around the factory without posing a risk to employees and manufacturing processes.
Human-machine interface
In a world in which man and machine are working side-by-side, high accuracy, low latency and strict compliance are crucial to efficient and safe Human-Machine Interaction (HMI). Hazards and obstacles to worker and machine movement need to be detected and avoided in real-time to prevent accidents and machine down time. The Hailo AI processors offer high-resolution video processing in real time, which is required for high-yield, high-endurance robotic vision and HMI. Designed and qualified for industrial operation, they feature extended operating temperature range, as well as minimal space and power requirements.
Factory safety
Safety is always the #1 priority when it comes to harsh, noisy and challenging environments such as factory floors. AI is being used to detect both hazardous situations and non-compliant worker behavior. Hailo’s customers are using its processors to guarantee factory safety through:
- PPE detection – monitoring worker’s use of hardhats, gloves, safety goggle, face masks etc, when and where needed
- Surveillance - performing perimeter protection and access control tasks by monitoring entry and exit of authorized personnel into predefined areas
