UnitX FleX is an advanced AI-powered visual inspection system designed to revolutionize quality control in manufacturing. By integrating cutting-edge technologies, FleX enhances defect detection accuracy, accelerates deployment, and optimizes operational efficiency, setting a new standard for inline inspection across complex production environments.
Key Features and Functionality:
- Superior Imaging: FleX utilizes UnitX's patented, fully software-defined lighting system, OptiX, capable of generating up to 2^32 lighting patterns, including multi-angle and polarization controls. This dynamic illumination, combined with optional 2.5D imaging technology, captures depth information, making defects invisible to standard 2D vision systems clearly detectable.
- High-Accuracy AI Defect Detection: Employing advanced image segmentation, FleX classifies every pixel to determine exact defect shape, size, and location, achieving up to 9x lower escape rates on high-variance, subtle defects.
- Rapid Deployment with Generative AI: The system reduces Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) duration from months to days, requiring only five defect images for AI model training. Its integrated Generative AI tool uses as few as three real samples to generate realistic synthetic defects, enriching the dataset and accelerating model deployment by up to 3x.
- Easy Integration and Scalability: FleX offers no-code PLC integration, supports over 20 industrial protocols, and provides an open SDK for third-party extensions. Its scalable central-edge architecture allows for centralized training and data management, enabling seamless deployment across multiple production lines.
Primary Value and Problem Solved:
FleX addresses the critical challenges of traditional quality control methods by providing a highly accurate, efficient, and scalable solution for defect detection. It mitigates costly liabilities such as recalls and reinspection by eliminating critical escapes, maximizes yield through balanced low false acceptance and false rejection rates, and reduces material scrap. This efficiency translates into substantial annual savings per production line and delivers up to 30% faster return on investment, empowering manufacturers to achieve superior product quality and operational excellence.
