SingTown Technology's OpenMV boosts the printing industry by spotting dodgy prints, lifting the yield rate by more than 20 per cent.

In the printing and manufacturing industry, product quality directly affects brand image and production costs. Traditional manual quality inspection relies on human visual assessment, which is not only inefficient and susceptible to errors from fatigue but also fails to meet the real-time detection requirements of high-speed production lines.
Therefore, printing enterprises urgently need to introduce automated inspection solutions based on AI machine vision and image recognition technology to accurately identify printing defects such as missing prints, colour deviations, blurring, and stains.
SingTown Technology has developed a printing defect detection system based on the embedded AI machine vision platform of the OpenMV smart camera. This system enables printing factories to achieve real-time quality monitoring and automated inspection, facilitating the intelligent upgrade of production processes.

The printing plant has developed an AI machine vision printing defect detection system based on SingTown's OpenMV intelligent camera recognition technology, achieving an upgrade from traditional manual inspection to intelligent detection. The system captures images of printed products in real-time using high-speed cameras and automatically compares parameters such as patterns, colours, and alignment accuracy through computer vision algorithms, accurately identifying defects such as missing prints, colour deviations, blurring, and stains.

Compared to manual inspection, AI visual inspection is more stable, precise, and high-speed, significantly reducing errors and costs.

SingTown's OpenMV intelligent camera boasts embedded AI processing capabilities, enabling independent high-speed image recognition and decision-making on the device without reliance on external servers, meeting the real-time demands of printing production lines. The system also supports automatic exposure and illumination compensation, allowing it to adapt to various workshop environments. Furthermore, it can interface with assembly lines via signal ports to achieve automatic alarm triggering and defective product removal.

This solution has now been implemented in multiple printing factories, significantly enhancing detection accuracy and production efficiency, with the yield rate increasing by over twenty per cent.
Empowered by SingTown Technology's OpenMV intelligent camera recognition technology, printing factories have truly achieved AI-driven and IoT-enabled machine vision inspection, thereby establishing an efficient, intelligent, and reliable printing quality management system.
