Baidu AI Cloud Automotive China Translated from Chinese

GAC Honda

GAC Honda needed a faster and more traceable way to verify correct lamp configuration and detect lighting defects on mixed-model production lines, because manual inspection was slow, hard to digitize, and prone to missed issues under difficult visual conditions.

Analysis efficiency improved 10x.
Data utilization improved more than 80%.
Inspection of one vehicle takes 1 second.
More than 22 lamp checkpoints are inspected from 120 synchronized detail images captured by 7 cameras.

Reported impact

Business outcome

GAC Honda accelerated inspection, improved digital traceability, and created a reusable industrial-vision foundation that can expand from lamp checks into wider vehicle-quality scenarios.

  • Cost Reduction
  • Productivity Improvement
  • Risk Reduction

Solution

GAC Honda adopted Baidu AI Cloud's Kaiwu industrial solution to digitize end-of-line lamp inspection and turn visual quality checks into a reusable manufacturing data asset. The deployment combines a visual inspection system, an AI visual modeling platform, and the industrial visual intelligence platform so quality teams can manage image data, label samples, train models, run inference, and distribute models without building code-heavy pipelines. On the line, seven dome cameras capture synchronized images from multiple angles while a high-speed scanner reads the vehicle's QR-coded specification sheet and pulls the correct inspection standard. The platform then identifies the vehicle type, matches the expected lamp configuration, checks more than twenty lamp points, and stores process data for traceability. The same visual stack can extend beyond lamps into interior, exterior, chassis, mirror, seat, and wiper inspection, giving Honda one manufacturing AI foundation for broader quality automation.

Data flow

Vehicle configuration sheets are scanned to identify the exact model standard, then seven cameras capture synchronized images of the car's front and rear lighting setup. The visual platform compares those images to the expected configuration, evaluates more than twenty lamp points, stores traceability data, and returns pass/fail or exception results to the production workflow.

Solution architecture

4 components · 3 layers
  1. Compute
    • AI Visual Modeling Platform Supports full-process, graphical, zero-code model production for GAC Honda's visual inspection workflows.
  2. Serving
    • Visual Inspection System Executes end-of-line lamp checks and determines whether configuration or functional defects are present.
    • Industrial Visual Intelligence Platform Manages image data, sample labeling, model training, model inference, and model delivery for factory inspection tasks.
  3. Orchestration
    • Kaiwu Industrial Internet Platform Provides the industrial digital foundation that connects quality inspection to broader manufacturing operations.

Architecture clues

  • Inspection standards are pulled dynamically after scanning each vehicle's specification QR code.
  • The same visual stack is designed to expand from lamps into exterior, interior, seat, mirror, wiper, and chassis inspection use cases.
  • The solution is fully graphical and zero-code for model-production workflows.
