Bajaj Auto’s Implementation of the SwitchOn DeepInspect® System

Introduction

Bajaj Auto faced a challenge with manual sealant inspection in crankcases, leading to errors and inefficiencies. Issues like missing or uneven sealant resulted in oil leaks, reduced engine performance, and potential engine damage. This highlighted the urgent need for an automotive vision inspection system.

DeepInspect®- AI Powered Sealant Inspection Software

DeepInspect is an AI powered automotive  quality inspection software that helps manufacturers like Bajaj automate their quality process. Bajaj Auto has taken a big step forward by implementing the SwitchOn DeepInspect® system, which automated crankcase sealant inspection across all SKUs on their production line. The setup includes:

  • DeepInspect Software

  • Industrial Camera

  • Industrial Lighting

  • PLC

  • Industrial Controller with i5 and  GPU

The software needed fewer than 200 good sealant images and just 45 minutes for model training and validation. The entire process, from capturing the image to displaying the inspection results, is completed in less than one second, dramatically improving the speed and accuracy of their production line.
