Magnet Assembly Validation
A rig that checks the polarity, placement and serial numbers of assemblies with sensors, computer vision and OCR
The challenge
- Elongated magnets are glued to a plate with precision; validating that assembly was a challenge.
- Polarity was checked with a machine that was slow, expensive and unreliable.
- When defects appeared, the fallback was a manual check with a polarity tester, and the serial number was noted down by hand: time-consuming and prone to error.
The solution
- A fully functional MVP that checks polarity and placement automatically, built around speed, reliability and ease of use.
- Hall sensors determine the magnetic polarity accurately, and computer vision detects the lines on the magnets as a second validation.
- AI-based OCR recognises and records the serial number automatically, inside a closed housing with optimal lighting conditions.
