SmartVision AR
SmartVision AR is an Innovate UK project led by IRIS Automation Ltd, combining artificial intelligence, computer vision and augmented reality to improve manufacturing quality control and operator decision-making.
Smarter quality control through AI and augmented reality.
SmartVision AR enhances IRIS computer-vision inspection capability with augmented reality, operator feedback and transfer learning, creating a more adaptive approach to industrial quality control.
AI defect detection
Apply computer vision and deep-learning methods to identify manufacturing defects accurately and consistently.
AR quality guidance
Visually pinpoint detected defects and provide operators with immediate information to support faster quality decisions.
Adaptive AI learning
Use transfer learning and operator feedback to improve adaptation across different production lines and environments.
Remote collaboration
Enable remote technical guidance and expert support through the AR interface for maintenance and production workflows.
More informed decisions at the point of inspection.
SmartVision AR brings AI-generated inspection information directly into the operator's working environment. By combining defect detection with visual guidance, maintenance instructions and remote support, the project aims to improve production continuity and make inspection knowledge easier to use on the factory floor.
Reduced no-fault-found errors
Give operators more context around detected defects so severity and required action can be assessed more effectively.
Faster operator decisions
Deliver real-time visual information at the production line to support immediate quality-control decisions.
Maintenance & training
Project instructions and manuals onto production components to support operations, maintenance and workforce training.
Scalable inspection AI
Improve adaptability through transfer learning, making customisation to new production environments faster and easier.
Innovate UK-backed manufacturing innovation.
SmartVision AR was led by IRIS Automation Ltd and funded by Innovate UK as a Launchpad project, supporting the integration and pilot validation of AI, computer vision and augmented reality technologies for manufacturing quality control.
