Cogniac’s HPO boosts accuracy and efficiency in manufacturing

In the manufacturing industry, the demand for accuracy has outpaced human capability.

A renowned manufacturer of heavy machinery was already achieving 99% accuracy. Despite this impressive rate, nearly 50% of the kits dispatched to the production lines were still incorrect.

In an industry that is rapidly adopting new advancements in technology, ever-higher levels of efficiency and safety are necessary. While the manufacturer already had an existing vision solution in place using pick-to-light technology in their warehouse kitting process. they recognized the need to supplement it with a more advanced platform.

Cogniac’s Hyper Parameter Optimization (HPO) was chosen for this purpose, as it has a proven track record of significantly improving accuracy rates. The HPO technology employs a machine learning approach that optimizes the performance of an algorithm by adjusting its parameters automatically.

Cogniac helps manage facilities that produce hundreds of kits per day, each containing over 100 parts.

Cogniac’s platform lifted the top manufacturer’s accuracy rates from 99% to 99.9%.

With the computer vision solution in place, each image can be processed the second it is taken, allowing for rapid and efficient analysis of the contents of hundreds of kits per day.

Each kit contains over 100 parts, making the task of ensuring accuracy all the more challenging.

For every shift of downtime avoided by accurate kitting, both time and money are saved. With this level of accuracy, the client has been able to avoid costly errors and delays, which has led to significant savings.
