REDUCING DEFECTIVE PRODUCTION

PROMINENT COMPANY : BOSCH
Around 17 billion items are returned globally each year , largely due to defects , resulting in significant CO2 emissions . AI-enabled computer vision systems reduce defective production by performing more accurate and efficient quality checks . Installed on conveyor belts , these systems identify issues early , minimising waste and lowering return rates .
This reduction not only improves sustainability by cutting emissions linked to returns but also benefits companies by lowering costs associated with returns and waste management . aimagazine . com 25
