Abstract:

The Smart Monitoring and Automated Real Time Visual Inspection of Sealant Application (SMART-VIStA) aims to develop a quality inspection system is needed that combines an Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computer Vision technology to locate a current dot, inspect its quality. and provide recommendations to adaptively control the up-stream process parameters. By providing timely, actionable insights about the quality of the current adhesive dot, recommendations can be provided to adaptively control the up-stream process parameters prior to the deposition of the next dot. This system will provide operators with real-time feedback about the current glue dot quality, type of degradation, highlighted location of degradation on a Digital Twin of the solar panel, possible reasoning for the degradation, and recommendations for change in process parameters or corrective action to be taken before the next dot deposition. The system can be adapted with minor modification for any defect assessment and real-time feedback that requires human interpretation in conjunction with a robot. It can be integrated with upstream processes for providing intelligent feedback of defects checklist through Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).
