Automating Engine Number Recognition with AI
Once car engines are manufactured, unique serial numbers and symbols are engraved or laser-etched onto their metal surfaces. Each engine receives a distinctive serial number, which is carefully documented and stored for future reference. Historically, identifying these engraved characters and symbols has been a manual process, requiring significant time and effort.
Challenge
Automating Engine Serial Number Capture and Reading
Car engine serial numbers are usually engraved directly onto the engine. However, capturing clear images of these numbers is challenging due to shadows that can obscure them. The metal surface exacerbates the issue by creating uneven background brightness or low contrast of the engraved characters, making accurate reading difficult for automated systems. Even manual visual inspection faces difficulties in quickly identifying these codes along the production line.
Solution
Artificial Intelligence for Optical Character Recognition
Vision Prime Software enables the effortless extraction and conversion of car engine serial numbers from images into digital data using advanced visual inspection tools and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. This process allows for seamless integration into database systems and easy linkage with vehicle records. SolVision AI is designed to adapt to various environmental conditions, ensuring precise and swift character recognition on production lines.
