Introduction

Gaskets are critical components used to seal the space between two mating surfaces, preventing leaks and ensuring optimal functionality in automotive, industrial, and other applications. Their reliability directly impacts product performance, safety, and durability. Even minor defects in gaskets, such as surface irregularities or misaligned holes, can lead to significant issues, including system failures, inefficiencies, and customer dissatisfaction. Traditional inspection methods often fall short in detecting these defects effectively, creating challenges for manufacturers.

Challenges- Why Traditional Vision Systems Struggle with Gasket Inspections?

Surface defects, incorrect hole counts, and optical character inaccuracies in gaskets can lead to leaks, misalignments, and product failures, compromising durability and disrupting supply chains. Identifying these multiple defects traditionally requires separate cameras and setups, increasing complexity, setup time, and costs. Manufacturers have struggled with these systems, finding them inefficient, error-prone, and unable to meet the demands of modern production workflows.

DeepInspect- AI Powered Quality Inspection Software for Gasket Manufacturers

DeepInspect® revolutionizes gasket visual quality control by enabling manufacturers to train AI models with fewer than 200 good images in just ~45 minutes, significantly reducing setup time. Utilizing a single-camera system, DeepInspect performs multiple inspections simultaneously on a single product within a single field of view, streamlining operations and delivering exceptional precision. This efficient approach ensures faster setup, consistent quality, and optimized production workflows for gasket manufacturers.
