AI Aids Automotive Manufacturing Inspection
Alan Eddy is a machine vision specialist at Tensor ID, a system integrator that develops solutions to difficult manufacturing problems. The company has devised ways to overcome challenges for large automakers using vision to gauge spark plug gaps and piston rings and to determine the quality of finishes on cars. Recently, though, Tensor ID has been called upon to solve a whole new category of problems as automakers confront the demands of mass-producing a new technology.
