Cutter Expert Curt Hall explains how machine vision systems using machine learning (ML) and other artificial intelligence techniques are gradually spreading from use in large auto manufacturers to being incorporated in aftermarket businesses. Increased accuracy of ML-based cameras, edge computing systems, machine vision startups targeting the market, and MaaS are all driving the expansion. One main area of use, Hall explains, is in camera-based robotic systems to automate basic maintenance operations like tire changing. Another area is automated vehicle inspection that can be used by repair shops, dealership service departments, online vehicle marketplaces and auction sites, and auto parts recyclers. Hall says the trend is just getting under way, so we’ll see a steady rise in the use of these systems in the near future.
