Cracks, scratched paint, or incorrect labelling: The BMW Group relies on systems for automated image processing (machine vision) to detect defects in production and quality control. These solutions use AI-based deep learning to efficiently process and analyze visual data, mostly based on specialized hardware or in the cloud. To not only enable data scientists but employees in manufacturing as well as to use AI workloads for quality control on a classic desktop PC, the BMW Group uses an application developed by Robotron with Intel OpenVINO toolkit. Intel’s toolkit accelerates and improves machine vision with deep learning, bringing the BMW Group closer to its goal of an “AI for everyone.”
