Manufacturing in 21st century: AI supported manual assembly
summary
Claims that human operators still do most manufacturing supported by data: over 120 million manual assemblers and a $17 trillion sector losing about $3 trillion yearly with half due to human error. Describes a deployed vision and telemetry system VIOLET AI using cascaded CNNs and decision networks, installed in under an hour, that digitizes each unit as a product DNA record. Shows a pilot on 70,000 aircraft tires where right first time improves from ~70–80% to defects of only a few percent.
