AI-related report] Introducing AI effectively improves quality, productivity, and delivery time in the golf manufacturing industry!

AI is penetrating various industries, bringing more stable and high-quality productivity to enterprises. Here is a case report of a golf ball manufacturing industry introducing AI technology to carry out smart manufacturing and enhance industrial competitiveness.

The detection of defects in golf balls is crucial to the quality of shipments and must be strictly controlled. According to the report, golf ball products are diverse, and differences in material structure, size, weight, and shell design can cause differences in the performance and characteristics of the ball types. Traditional defect detection uses human eyes to inspect the ball body and find defective balls, but it is inevitable that there will be fatigue misjudgments, so the average defect detection rate is about 85%.

In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of quality inspection, machine vision is introduced and AI deep learning technology is used to perform golf ball defect detection, optimize the quality at the end of the production line, and increase the speed of full inspection of the ball surface. AI deep learning ball defect detection can avoid fatigue misjudgment of traditional human eye inspection. After introducing the AI system, the current ball inspection efficiency has increased by 3.5 seconds per ball, and the defect detection rate has increased to 99%.
