Automotive Manufacturing Inspection Solutions
Applications
Quality control in automotive manufacturing
Modern automotive manufacturing relies on machine vision to verify complex assemblies and find flaws, even in challenging environments and high-speed operations. These solutions deliver accuracy and precision while maintaining the throughput that automotive manufacturers demand. Cognex has been partnering with automotive manufacturers and suppliers for decades, helping companies reduce scrap rates, increase throughput, and minimize costs.
Adapt to new automotive inspection challenges with AI
Cognex machine vision systems combine flexible AI, image-formation technology, and robust optics to find defects in challenging conditions. Modular lighting and imaging techniques like high-dynamic range plus (HDR+) minimize contrast on curved, reflective surfaces common in automotive manufacturing. Easily trainable AI helps automotive manufacturers and suppliers separate legitimate defects from acceptable variations, lowering scrap rates. Since Cognex AI technology learns by analyzing example images, it can quickly learn to recognize new types of defects.
