【2021 Solutions】 Yirui Technology, the best helper for Taiwan’s industry to protect the country’s sacred mountains, allows customers to use it whenever they choose.

There is no doubt that AI helps factories become more automated. However, the typical AI project takes up to 3 months. Is there a solution that can quickly deploy AI technology to improve defect accuracy? The answer is: yes.

Customers include AUO, Chimei, TSMC, MediaTek, Macronix and other major electronics manufacturers. Yirui Technology, which can be called the best helper of Taiwan’s “Sacred Mountains that protect the country”, has launched “AI service modularization”. Modularizing various AI technologies, just like an ordering machine, allows customers to select whatever they need, which can help customers quickly deploy AI and achieve the goal of improving the speed and accuracy of AI projects.

Yirui Technology, established in 2004, started out by selling the anti-virus software Bakarski. It is a professional information security and security company. In 2015, it entered the AI ​​field and developed the AI ​​Vision intelligent image recognition system. After 2018, it focused on We have accumulated considerable experience in smart image recognition applications at the factory, including license plate recognition, tank truck recognition, personnel and equipment inspection, smart logistics, smart operating machines, and smart unmanned factories. Our customers include AUO, Chimei, and TSMC. , MediaTek, Macronix, Formosa Plastics, Asia Cement, Far East New Century and other leading companies.

Yirui Technology’s professional technology has won the favor of international manufacturers

"Every case of Yirui is not easy, that is because the experience of cooperation with large manufacturers makes our technology more powerful," Zhou Shihan, deputy general manager of Yirui Technology, said with confidence. As far as Chimei Industrial is concerned, , the accuracy of defect detection is required to be as high as 99.5% or more. Since Yirui Technology established its AI department in 2018, it has successively served dozens of factories. Many customers hope to go online quickly and transfer the AI ​​technology part back to the company so that internal employees can smoothly connect.

In response to this trend, Yirui Technology has launched two services. One is a complete AI product CIC camera accuracy detection system to help customers detect camera abnormalities (including disconnection, black screen, camera shift, occlusion, etc.) (such as abnormal screen conditions), an alarm can be issued as soon as possible. Another launch is the modularization of AI services. The CIC camera availability detection system can assist the factory in monitoring thousands of cameras at a time. In the past, employees in charge of monitor-related matters in the factory would regularly check the camera images manually with the naked eye. This was not only time-consuming, but also often caused by The person in charge wears multiple hats, and the work of checking the monitor is not fully performed. The greatest value of AI is to replace human labor to perform such simple and repetitive tasks. Only one CIC host is needed, placed on the intranet, and the cycle can be set to check the health and proper status of the camera, and reports will be automatically generated for relevant personnel to check, greatly improving work efficiency!

Another concept of service AI service modularization is to turn the AI ​​technology package into software, and the online execution of an AI solution that can be applied on the ground will usually be summarized into several stages:

1. Confirmation of customer needs; 2. Collection of training data; 3. Pre-processing of training data; 4. Data delivery for training; 5. Algorithm writing; 6. User interface writing; 7. Database concatenation; 8. Additional information will be provided later.

Taking these eight stages as an example, except that the algorithm writing engineer needs a long period of training, the rest can be done by the company itself or handed over to Yirui for execution. Simple basic modules include license plate recognition, industrial safety equipment, etc., and are made into standardized modules. As for tank trucks, processes, or the names of chemicals on tank trucks, complete modules can be planned according to customer needs. , the customer purchases the "menu" by themselves. If the client wants to go online on its own, Yirui Technology can complete the online version within a month, speeding up the customer's AI deployment process.

Yirui Technology A.I. VISION smart image analysis system is favored by major international manufacturers

Yirui Technology currently has 32 employees, including nearly 20 AI engineers. Unlike AI manufacturers on the market who can only make simple AI visual recognition, Yirui Technology has a large amount of past training materials, rich project introduction experience, and various identification methods. It is 100% made in Taiwan and provides local services. Generally, the recognition rate is higher and more accurate. At the same time, availability is higher as customers’ demand elastically adjusts.

Traditional optical inspection has a high false positive rate. AI+AOI greatly improves yield and production line efficiency

For Yirui Technology, AI+AOI is also one of the modules. Yirui engineers only need to provide a little training data, and they can achieve an accuracy of 80% in about a month, helping enterprises to use AI when it goes online. The distance becomes very short.

In addition to the existing manufacturing plants, Yirui Technology has also entered the field of optics and cooperated with Xiaoma Optics to jointly develop advanced physical optical measurement methods and optical module design. At present, most manufacturers will introduce AOI systems for production line defect inspection, but most of them use OCR (optical character recognition, which refers to the process of analyzing and recognizing image files of text data to obtain text and layout information) technology, which needs to be 100% The accuracy leaves no room for error, leading to accidental killings that often occur. This time, Yirui Technology and Xiaoma Optics cooperated to install Yirui's AI system in the optical inspection instruments developed by Xiaoma Optics, adding AI algorithms to the optical detection of defects, and training AI model identification based on the data and needs provided by customers. For the determination of defects, the accuracy of determination can be greatly improved, the yield rate can be improved, and the efficiency of the production line can be increased.

"As for AI+AOI technology in the optical field, for Yirui, the environmental complexity factors of optical inspection are relatively low. As long as the customer defines the defect clearly, the more accurate and detailed the information provided, the better the defect detection and identification. The rate can often reach more than 98%, and the operation time can also be shortened relatively." Zhou Shihan went on to say that for Yi Rui, the two most difficult parts are that the company's current manpower cannot take on too many AI projects at one time, mainly due to the self-requirements of engineers. High, every project needs to be carefully crafted; the second part is that large customers usually take a long time to consider their purchases. This is why Yirui Technology changed the business model of AI projects to AI service modules and project information consultants. Based on customer needs, we can sell modules or semi-finished products and quickly close the case to maintain the company's normal operations.

In addition to the Taiwan market, Yirui Technology has also extended its reach to the international market. There are currently several projects underway in Thailand, one of which is the Royal Rama Hospital in Thailand. Yirui is responsible for facial recognition and behavior of patients in the hospital. Monitoring to prevent patients from falling, etc. Another interesting case is the classification and identification of salvaged items from river garbage ships in Thailand, and the AI ​​identification project of a major auto parts manufacturer. Yirui Technology's AI image recognition technology has gradually been recognized and accepted by overseas markets.

Looking forward to the future, Yirui Technology hopes to expand its experience in AI visual recognition technology from 2D to 3D, and even extend it to audio and video recognition technical services, making Yirui Technology a comprehensive AI professional services company.

Defect identification rate reaches 100%, Nairi Technology is favored by major panel manufacturers

On the machine tool production line, there are some slight differences in the first step of assembly Accumulated tolerances will cause the assembly work to be repeated, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in shipment delays that will impact the company's reputation Narili Technology Company focuses on the field of smart manufacturing and provides various AI solutions It uses machine learning models to inherit the experience of old masters In the CNC processing machine assembly and casting process, it uses AI to analyze production line data, accurately adjust various data, and improve Production accuracy is 25 This AI production line data analysis system is called "Master 40" by Huang Changding, chairman of Naruili Technology It is the most evolved version of the master plus artificial intelligence It has been used in machine tool processing factories with remarkable results In addition, Nairi Technology used AI defect detection technology to participate in the 2021 AI Rookie Selection Competition of the Industrial Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, assisting AUO in advanced panel image defect detection, with an accuracy rate of 100, and won the award Assisted panel manufacturer AUO to solve problems with 100 accuracy in defect detectionHuang Changding further explained that during the production of general panels, edges and corners are There may be defects in the corners Although the defects are visible to the naked eye, AOI is often difficult to identify, causing the detection error rate to often exceed 30 Therefore, re-inspection must be carried out with manpower to improve the accuracy rate However, in response to the demand for a small number of diverse products and insufficient manpower, using AI detection is indeed a good method Nairui Technology, founded in 2018, has been able to win the favor of major panel manufacturers with its AI technology in just three years In fact, it has been honed in the field of CNC machine tools for a long time Tang Guowei, general manager of Narili Technology, pointed out that the top three CNC machine tool factories in Taiwan hope to introduce AI into the two production lines of assembly and casting Among them, on the assembly line, in order to maintain the accuracy of assembly, every part of the component is designed Tolerances are designed During assembly, each component is within the tolerance However, the cumulative tolerance still fails the final quality inspection and must be dismantled and reassembled This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also causes waste "After entering the production line, I realized that some masters have accumulated a lot of experience and are good at adjustment After his adjustment, the accuracy rate has improved a lot and the speed is faster" On the contrary, the new engineers did not Based on experience, it takes a long time to adjust and may not pass the quality inspection The yield rate of Master 40 system has increased significantly from 70 to 95Tang Guowei then said that the original size data set by Master during assembly All were recorded on paper After the information was written, it was stored in the warehouse and sealed No one studied the relationship between the dimensions Narili assists customers in designing the Fu 40 system Through the human-machine panel, the master can directly input the measured dimensions and related data during assembly After collecting data from different masters, AI algorithms are used to analyze the relationship between the data and create an AI model The AI model automatically notifies the operator what size to adjust to, and the quality inspection will definitely pass In this way, the yield rate will be improved It has increased significantly from 70 to more than 95 Narili Technology Company focuses on the field of smart manufacturing and provides various AI solutionsTang Guowei added, assembling the spindle of a CNC processing machine It took four hours In the first step, the machine made measurement errors, including vibration, temperature, speed, etc that were out of range It had to be dismantled and reinstalled, which took another four hours How to adjust after disassembly depends on the experience of the master At first, the master may have done the best assembly method based on experience, but the error rate was also 30, and the assembly took several days With the assistance of AI masters, the assembly time only takes half a day, and the yield rate reaches over 95, saving a lot of time and manpower "Use the AI model of machine learning to collect the experience of all the masters and provide it for AI learning The first step is digitalization, and the second step is knowledgeization This is the transformation of the enterprise "An important key", Huang Changding believes that Narili Technology is an important partner in the transformation of traditional manufacturing from automated production to digital transformation In addition, another industry that Naili Technology focuses on is the smart car dispatching system of the leading brand of elevator manufacturers The so-called car dispatch referring to the elevator car means that if there are more than two elevators, group management is required In the past, car dispatching was based on fixed rules If the elevator was closer to the requested car, that elevator would be automatically dispatched On the one hand, it did not take into account that dispatching a car if the elevator was called too many times might make other people wait longer The previous vehicle dispatching model did not take into account the usage characteristics of the building, resulting in a lot of waste For example, in an office building, there are peak hours in the morning, lunch break, and afternoon after work AI smart car dispatch can be flexibly adjusted according to off-peak and peak hours, increasing the efficiency of car dispatch, reducing waiting time, and reducing wasted electricity Introducing elevator smart dispatch to improve transportation efficiency and have environmental protection functionsHuang Changding added that just like the previous traffic lights at intersections, the system has already The number of seconds to stop and pass on highways, sub-trunks and small streets is programmed Smart traffic lights are now used to flexibly adjust waiting times to make road sections prone to congestion smoother Using AI to learn usage scenarios and introducing a smart dispatch system into elevators will improve transportation efficiency and make it more environmentally friendly In addition to introducing smart elevator dispatching, Nairili also introduced AI into the smart production and shipment scheduling system of elevator factories Elevator factories often cannot accurately estimate the customer's elevator delivery date For example, office buildings or stores must be completed to a certain extent before the elevator can be installed on the construction site If affected by unexpected factors such as delays in the customer's construction period, the elevator factory will often be idle or the schedule will be difficult to arrange Tang Guowei pointed out that generally those who understand the progress of client projects may be from business or engineering, but overall, the accuracy rate of shipments is only about 60, which means that 40 of them will not be shipped as scheduled Therefore, if the shipping schedule can be accurately estimated, the production line can be freed up for emergency orders or other product production needs The AI smart scheduling system will analyze past shipment data, about 20-30 parameters such as climate, distance between the factory and the construction site, and customer credit, and put them into the AI algorithm to accurately predict whether shipments can be made as scheduled goods Huang Changding also specifically stated that the machine learning of Naili Technology is not ordinary machine learning, but also incorporates various calculation methods such as traditional image processing technology and statistics Only by being very familiar with the domain knowledge can we make good products AI models are also where the company’s competitiveness lies He emphasized that the data that general SaaS platforms can process is very limited, and the accuracy rate has increased from 70 to 75 at most Naili’s strength lies in AI algorithms and machine learning, and it must be coupled with in-depth industry knowledge to produce output Good AI model Narili Technology started with the AI project, gradually deepened the technology, chose to start with the more difficult tasks, and accumulated rules of thumb It is expected to develop SaaS services this year 2022, based on customer needs starting point, gradually gaining a foothold and becoming an important partner in smart manufacturing The picture left shows the general manager of Naruili Technology Tang Guowei and Chairman Huang Changding right「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation date:2024-05-19」

Complete checkout in 1 second, Viscovery AI image recognition assists smart retail

Artificial intelligence AI has gradually changed the way various industries operate in recent years However, most of the work is still done by humans, with AI playing a supporting role This has led to emergence of the term "AI Copilot," which stands for "AI-driven tools or assistants" that aim to assist users in completing various tasks and improve productivity and efficiency The concept of AI Copilot comes from the role of "co-pilot" During flight, the co-pilot assists the main pilot in completing various tasks to ensure flight safety and efficiency In fact, there have been signs of various "machines" beginning to play the role of "copilot" in different fields since the Industrial Revolution, assisting humans in completing heavy physical and repetitive tasks, greatly improving factory production efficiency, and driving rapid economic development Following the advancement of computing equipment and breakthroughs in machine learning, deep learning, and image recognition technologies, the concept of AI Copilot has gradually taken shape The development of AI Copilot marks the transition from "machine-assisted to AI-assisted" Early robots could only complete preset repetitive tasks, but today's AI copilot can learn and adapt to new environments and tasks, and continuously optimize its performance in practical applications This transformation not only changes human-machine interactions, but also has a profound impact on various industries The application scope of AI copilot covers various industries, including finance, healthcare, manufacturing, education, retail, etc, and are everywhere to be seen Application of AI copilot in the retail industry AI image recognition checkout In the retail industry, the application of AI copilot has begun to show concrete results Take Viscovery's AI image recognition checkout system as an example This system is a type of AI copilot model that helps store clerks speed up checkout or assists consumers in simplifying the self-service checkout process The store clerk needs to scan the product barcodes one by one in the regular checkout method If a product does not have a barcode, such as bread and meals, the clerk needs to first visually confirm the items, and then input them into the POS checkout system one by one Based on actual measurements at a chain bakery, it takes 22 seconds for an experienced clerk from "visual recognition" to "entering product information of a plate of 6 items into the checkout system" New clerks may need even more time In addition, according to a Japanese bakery operator, it takes 1 to 2 months to train employees to become familiar with products Now with AI image recognition technology, store clerks let AI handle the "product recognition" step, and AI will play the role of copilot, quickly identifying items within 1 second, speeding up checkout to save 50 of checkout time, and optimizing customers'shopping experience The time cost of training employees to identify bread can also be effectively shortened Even for products with barcodes, AI can quickly identify multiple items in one second, which is more efficient than scanning barcodes one by one The self-checkout system "assisted" by AI image recognition allows consumers to successfully complete shopping without the help of store clerks, eliminating the trouble of swiping barcodes or searching for items on the screen, which improves the shopping experience In a time when store clerks are hard to hire due to labor shortage, this also helps stores reduce operating costs AI quickly identifies multiple checkout items in just one second Source of image Viscovery Recently, startups dedicated to developing AI image recognition checkout solutions have emerged in various countries The most lightweight solution currently known is in Taiwan It can be immediately used by installing a Viscovery lens and a tablet installed with Viscovery AI image recognition software at the checkout counter to connect to the store's existing POS checkout system There are various integration methods, including plug-and-play and API solutions integrated with the store's POS system Viscovery AI image recognition system can be painlessly integrated with the store's existing POS system Source of image Viscovery Example of AI image recognition checkout Currently, the Viscovery AI image recognition system is being used in bakery chains in Taiwan, Chinese noodle shops in Singapore, micromarkets in department stores in Sendai, Japan, and Japanese bakeries and cake shops Over 7 million transactions were completed through this AI system, which identified more than 40 million items These use cases demonstrate the extensive application of the Viscovery AI image recognition system in the retail industry In the future, the company will continue to explore the various possibilities of using Vision AI in retail and catering nbsp The Viscovery AI image recognition system is already being used in bakeries, cake shops, restaurants, and convenience stores in Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan Source of image Viscovery
