The Client

Tier-1 turbomachinery supplier producing engines for global OEMs, producing thousands of units each year

The Challenge

Quality Inspection is manual intensive, error-prone, no quantitative explanation, the inspection queue is long

The Solution

Integrate Wisdom Test to monitor the quality inspection, oversee the process and provide predictions

The Outcome

The quality process is automatic, explainable, adaptive, continuously learning and has no human dependency

Technical Solution

Wisdom Test makes use of production / test data for training learning models and deploys them in real-time for extremely accurate quality predictions.

Acoustic signal analysis

After sensor installation, noise and vibration recorded during testing, auto-cropped for each test

Acoustic spectrogram

Creation of Spectrogram with frequency and loudness information for quantitative comparison

t-SNE clustering of weld signatures

Clustering over thousand of samples with calibration, detailed mapping and overview

Electrical signature clustering

Root cause analysis for improving diagnostics and design improvements

Multi-Sensor Data Support

Wisdom Test supports combinations of different types of sensor data, such as pressure, temperature, noise, vibration, vision and electricity

Semi-Supervised Training

Wisdom Test uses clustering algorithms to inspect the process and makes use of minimal number of human labeled instances

Adaptive and Continuous Learning

Wisdom Test provides the framework for adaptive learning against data drift and integrates AI tools for easy of use
