Baidu AI Cloud Manufacturing China Translated from Chinese

Weiyi Manufacturing

Real-time Analytics

Weiyi Manufacturing needed to reduce reliance on exhausting manual visual inspection in 3C factories because workers had to inspect thousands of parts from many angles every day, which caused fatigue, unstable quality, and persistent miss-detection issues with both human and traditional rule-based vision systems.

Miss rate fell below 0.1%.
Return on investment improved 6.5x.
The device processes 18-24 images within 1 second.
The full algorithm flow completes in 480 ms.

Reported impact

Business outcome

Weiyi improved inspection accuracy and speed, reduced quality-rework risk, and moved frontline workers from repetitive visual checking into more valuable analysis and labeling roles.

  • Cost Reduction

Solution

Weiyi Manufacturing and Baidu AI Cloud built an AI visual-inspection system for complex surface defects in 3C production. The solution combines Baidu's industrial quality-inspection capabilities with cloud infrastructure so line images can be captured, processed, classified, and shared digitally instead of relying on purely manual judgment. The inspection device can capture 18 to 24 images in about one second and uses a Baidu algorithm engine to process up to 24 models, classify more than 34 defect types, and complete the full decision pipeline in 480 milliseconds. Beyond detection, the system uploads inspection statistics such as daily output and defect information to the cloud for SPC-style analysis and digital sharing. The result is a full-angle visual-quality workflow that covers six product faces, identifies defect size, location, and shape automatically, and lets operators shift from repetitive visual screening to higher-value defect analysis and annotation work.

Data flow

Production-line images are captured from multiple angles, processed by the algorithm engine to detect and classify defects, and then uploaded with output and defect statistics to cloud services for SPC-style analysis, reporting, and digital sharing back to factory operations.
