Tear Detection in Pressed Automotive Parts: AI Enhanced Safety Assurance

In automotive safety engineering, the structural integrity of pressed components is non-negotiable. Even the most minor tear in a critical part can have serious consequences in the event of an accident. Traditional visual inspections are often insufficient for detecting all potential defects, especially in high-volume production environments. That’s where Dataguess Project Studio and Inspector come in.

The Challenge: Detecting Critical Tears in Automotive Components

Automotive manufacturers needed to address:

• Functional defects caused by micro-tears or cracks in pressed parts

• Safety risks due to hidden tears that might rupture in high-stress scenarios, such as collisions

• Missed defects during manual quality control due to human fatigue or oversight

  
  

The Dataguess Solution: A Dual Approach with Project Studio & Inspector

To ensure that no tear goes undetected, Dataguess deployed both its Project Studio and Inspector platforms for comprehensive detection across varying part geometries.

1. Diverse Dataset Collection:

   • Operators manually separated visibly torn parts for analysis.

   • Synthetic tears were created on undamaged parts to enhance model robustness and variability.

2. AI Modeling Across Complex Shapes:

   • Models were trained to detect tears on parts with different geometrical profiles.

   • The system learned to identify both surface-level and structurally significant tears.

3. Real-Time Monitoring:

   • The trained models were deployed for live inspections, flagging any tear-like anomaly.

   • Operators receive immediate alerts to remove or review flagged components.

     
     

Results: Proactive Defect Elimination, Safety Compliance

Dataguess’s hybrid solution accurately identifies cosmetic and structural defects, reducing the risk of unsafe components reaching customers. This results in safer vehicles, improved compliance, and increased customer trust.

Key Benefits:

• Real-time detection of cosmetic and structural tears

• AI-based inspection of complex geometries

• Safer final products with reduced liability risk

• Decreased dependence on manual inspections
