Nissan is using artificial intelligence to detect paint defects on new vehicles being produced inside its factories.
The possibilities and limits – not to mention potential dangers - of artificial intelligence are just now starting to be understood. New uses for AI are cropping up seemingly by the month.
In fact, for the past three years, the Japanese automaker has been using a surface verification system called AUTIS. This AI-based system has improved the defect detection rate at Nissan's Smyrna plant in Tennessee by 7 percent, according to the automaker.The system uses high-resolution cameras to take 15,000 images of each vehicle as it leaves the paint room. Those images are then analyzed by software to detect paint defects.
Because the system catalogues the defects and stores everything in memory, engineers can access information to solve a recurring paint problem, which could be linked to the paint application stage itself at the factory.
