How Mowito Streamlines Quality Assurance

Mowito automated homologation tag inspection for a global auto component manufacturer using a robotic arm with vision technology. The system tracks, inspects, and verifies tags on moving parts, improving quality control.

In modern manufacturing, ensuring the accuracy of homologation codes on parts is critical for quality assurance and compliance. At Mowito, we leveraged robotics and vision technology to automate the inspection process, offering our client an efficient and error-free solution. This blog dives into how we implemented a robotic arm solution to track, inspect, and verify tags on moving parts — even when the tag positions varied.

The Challenge: Verifying Homologation Tags on Moving Parts

In a high-speed manufacturing environment, tags bearing homologation codes must be inspected for scratches, code errors, and overall quality. The challenge? These tags were attached to parts moving on a conveyor, with no fixed position. The code placement varied based on the part variant, making manual inspection impractical.

Without a streamlined, automated system, this process would lead to delays, errors, and a potential bottleneck in production.

The Mowito Solution: Robotics and Camera Vision for Real-Time Inspection

At Mowito, we used a robotic arm equipped with a high-resolution camera to solve this issue. Here’s how it works:

  • Dynamic Camera Tracking: The camera, mounted on a robotic arm, tracks the part as it moves along the conveyor, regardless of where the tag is positioned.
  • Real-Time Tag Inspection: The vision system reads and verifies the homologation code in real-time, detecting scratches, blurs, or incorrect codes.
  • Adaptability for Part Variants: Our solution adjusts to different part variants, ensuring that no matter the tag's location, it is correctly identified and inspected.

Why Automation is Key to Quality Assurance

Using a robotic arm for inspection offers significant benefits over manual processes:

  • Speed: At high speeds, manual inspection becomes impossible. Automation ensures that tags are inspected without slowing down production.
  • Accuracy: Cameras can catch minute details such as small scratches or coding errors that the human eye might miss.
  • Efficiency: Automating this task reduces human error and keeps the production line moving smoothly.
