Nexen Tire America Inc. says it is using an artificial intelligence (AI)-based tire inspection system.
The system allows “easy application to new factories or equipment,” according to Nexen officials.
"With the introduction of this automated product inspection system, Nexen Tire, which has been expanding AI applications in the tire development process, has now extended the scope of AI utilization to manufacturing processes.
“Nexen Tire's AI-based automated product inspection system is applied to non-destructive inspection equipment using machine vision technology (Machine Vision, a technology that recognizes and analyzes visual information through cameras).
“This includes 'X-ray inspection equipment' for detecting structural defects and 'laser interferometry inspection equipment (shearography)' for detecting air bubbles. The AI assists in interpreting inspection images, which previously relied on human visual assessment.”
