Artificial Intelligence for Product Quality Inspection toward Smart Industries: Quality Control of Vehicle Non-Conformities

Inspection has been always a topic of interest in the industrial environment. Indeed, the inspection process is particularly very essential for controlling the quality of the finished products. Within this context, in this work is proposed an automated artificial vision system in order to control the non-conformities in vehicles. In fact, the main idea of the proposed system resides in the adoption of the Artificial Intelligence (AI), in order to identify automatically the defects, while supporting at the same time the concept of a smart industry 4.0. Moreover, some works, which rely on AI for quality control inspection in smart industries, are briefly reviewed in this paper, in order to highlight the issues of Visual Inspection (VI) as well as to prove the effectiveness of the AI in industries, notably those related to vehicle manufacturing.
