Lightning Talk: Demystifying Challenges/Learnings in Converting an Old-school Textile Inspection Machine into a Smart System Using AI/ML

summary
Converted an old textile inspection rig into a working AI line that captures fabric at four pixels per mm² using a Basler camera + Pylon pipeline, trains with TensorFlow/Keras and OpenVINO, and runs inference at about 30 FPS on an Advantech IPC Core i5. Binary defect detection hits ~99% accuracy; multiclass labeling fails and models break on darker or patterned fabrics, folds, and higher motor speeds. Hardware fixes include an Arduino relay interface (would recommend a PLC) and region-specific SSD/network compatibility workarounds.
