Problem the AI is intended to solve
Inspection for manufacturing flaws makes up 40% of fabrication time so if that time could be reduced it would have a significant impact on overall manufacturing time. That doesn’t even take into account the benefits of finding flaws that were previously undetectable by the current technique of visual inspection.
