In modern manufacturing, accurate part recognition and classification play a crucial role in ensuring product quality, traceability, and assembly line efficiency. Small components—such as pins, screws, nuts, washers, and micro-mechanical parts—may look similar to the human eye, but even the slightest variation in diameter, dimension, or visual features can have a significant impact on product performance. Manual recognition is slow and error-prone, while traditional inspection methods often lack flexibility for complex and high-volume operations.
Intelgic’s Vision AI–Based Small Part Recognition System
Intelgic provides an advanced machine vision and AI-based solution to automatically recognize and classify small parts based on size, dimension, and measurement specifications. Using high-resolution cameras, specialized optics, and AI-driven software, the system accurately detects the subtle differences between similar-looking parts in real time.
Key capabilities include
Diameter & Dimension Measurement
The system measures outer diameter, inner diameter, length, width, and thickness with micron-level accuracy.
Size-Based Classification
Even when parts are visually similar, they can be separated and classified into groups based on pre-defined measurement tolerances.
Visual Feature Recognition
Beyond size, the system also inspects surface characteristics, edges, and shape profiles to ensure precise identification.
Automated Sorting & Verification
Recognized parts can be automatically sorted, counted, and verified against design specifications, ensuring error-free assembly and packaging.
Benefits for Manufacturers
Error Reduction – Eliminates manual mistakes in part recognition and assembly.
Consistency & Speed – Delivers high-speed, repeatable results across thousands of parts.
Micron-Level Precision – Detects even the smallest dimensional variation that may impact functionality.
