Figure 1: A specific use case for AI-enabled industrial machine vision is line clearance, a critical process in pharmaceutical manufacturing, that ensures all materials, labels and records from a previous batch are removed before a new one begins. Using optimized embedded edge AI solutions, operations can be greatly enhanced for speed, accuracy and compliance over traditional standard manual inspections.
Engineers face challenges in developing AI enabled-embedded vision systems including model selection, hardware compatibility, and dataset curation.
