The intelligent part of the software is its ability to take a look at an image and compare it to its stored input data. Once this process is complete, it will devise the necessary action that is needed to ensure the best quality control. Seiji Furuta, who is a member of Sato’s team, explains that “with this technology, we’re able to achieve nearly 100 percent accuracy in our inspection process, helping to ensure the customer gets exactly what they ordered.”
“We see it now as a way to help us perform certain tasks,” Sato adds. “But when you take in the added potential posed by combining the technology with robotics, a whole new level of possibility is revealed. Several physically demanding or stressful jobs beyond image recognition could potentially become mechanized and operated via AI.”
