General-purpose, steerable quality inspection with Industrial LCM
One camera station inspects different products in turn. What to look for is given per product as a prompt; the same AI model locates and evaluates the relevant regions according to that prompt. For a new product the station stays as it is and only the prompt changes.
Prompt code, region count and findings are sent to the product record. The missing-component region is flagged and the stack light shows NG; prompt selection for each product is tracked on the operator display.

Need
Bottle caps, board components and bolts have different shapes and surfaces. The relevant inspection region changes with the product in the same camera volume; the prompt associated with each decision must be tracked.
Solution approach
A gantry camera images the carrier from above under ring light. The prompt for its product code is passed to the same AI model, which evaluates the relevant cap, component or thread regions in sequence. Prompt and region results are combined in the same product record.
Process steps
- 01
Product
The next product on its carrier arrives under the camera.
- 02
Prompt
The prompt for this product is selected; it tells the model what to look for.
- 03
Analyse
The same AI model locates the relevant regions and evaluates each one.
- 04
Decide
The region results are combined into one decision for the product.
