The AI technology, developed by Intel, aims to solve a costly, age-old problem of manual defect detection in the robotic welding process. It uses a deep neural network based inferencing engine to detect welding defects in a way not possible with the human eye. The solution is scalable, powered by Intel® Core™ i7 processors and uses Intel® Movidius™ VPUs and the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit to detect defects with very low latency and high accuracy.
The collaboration leverages Intel’s AI technology and PathPartner’s expertise in building highly efficient, AI-based software to help manufacturers evaluate, adopt and successfully productize the solution for their custom use-cases. PathPartner, owing to its breadth of industry experience, custom AI algorithm development expertise and engineering talent with hands-on experience on Intel edge processors, is well placed to support the manufacturers in their AI adoption journey.
