AI-Powered Quality Inspection System Rolled Out Across P&G Manufacturing Operations
Siemens and Procter & Gamble have partnered to roll out an AI-based quality inspection system across P&G's manufacturing operations worldwide. The system, called the Visual Inspection Cockpit (VIC), uses Industrial AI to inspect products in real-time during production, delivering comprehensive inspection coverage at full line speed.
The VIC reduces scrap rates by 10-20% and can be commissioned five to ten times faster than traditional bespoke vision systems. The solution combines P&G's deep learning models with Siemens' Industrial Edge computing platform and industrial PCs powered by Nvidia GPUs and AI hardware and software.
Rainer Brehm, COO for automation and CTO at Siemens Digital Industries, said: 'Our Industrial AI and Industrial Edge capabilities deliver what high-speed production demands: full inspection accuracy for thousands of products per minute, scalable from a single line to a global footprint.'
