Many questions surround artificial intelligence (AI). A common one among non-users is: Can something artificial truly produce real-world benefits? Increasingly, manufacturers in the automotive industry are ready and able to provide an affirmative answer.
One such company is Volvo Cars, which has recently begun using the AI-based Atlas inspection system from UVeye. Since February 2020, Volvo has partnered with UVeye and implemented Atlas at its manufacturing plant in Torslanda, Sweden. There, several system cameras quickly perform a 360-degree scan of each just-assembled vehicle at the end of the assembly line to detect cosmetic defects like scratches and dents.
