Enhancing Reusable Wine Bottle Quality with AI Inspection
Case
Green Choice: Eco-friendly and Reusable Bottles
In an effort to enhance environmental sustainability, some wine producers have adopted measures to recycle their wine bottles. After thorough cleaning and sterilization, the bottles are inspected for damage or residue before being reused.
Challenge
Detecting Stains and Mildew: A Complex Challenge
Even after the disinfection process, mildew and stains can sometimes persist on the bottles. Detecting these issues early is crucial for removing defective bottles before they reach the cleaning stage. However, inspecting for defects requires rotating and moving the bottles, and product labels can obstruct the view, making manual inspection and traditional vision systems impractical.
Solution
Enhancing Cleaning Efficiency with AI Detection
With only a small set of sample images, VisionPrime can be trained to detect various types of stains and mildew. The software’s segmentation tool learns the location, color, and characteristics of these defects, allowing for automatic real-time identification on the cleaning production line. By thoroughly inspecting glass bottles and accurately locating spots that need disinfection, the recycling process becomes both safer and more efficient.
