About the workshop

An error-free end result is important in the customised sector. That is why regular quality checks throughout the entire process are indispensable. During this practical workshop, you will discover which technologies can support you in this. The focus of this workshop is on AI-based vision systems.

Morning session

In the morning session, you will receive an accessible introduction to quality control in customisation companies. We will explain step by step what vision technology is exactly, how a camera system “looks” at products and what functions AI vision applications can perform: detecting, counting and inspecting objects, etc.

Afternoon session

In the afternoon, you will get to work yourself during interactive demos. In small groups, you will visit different stations where you will see and try out concrete applications. We will conclude with a call to identify new use cases in your organisations.

In short: a free, inspiring workshop day for managers and professionals who want to strengthen quality and efficiency in their (customised) company with smart technology.

Programme

TimeTopic
10:00Welcome and introduction
10:15

Theoretical explanation:

  • Intro: quality control in social enterprises (Odisee – Sophie Dohogne)
  • Technologies for quality control (Flanders Make – Jeroen Winderix)
  • AI vision applications: detection, counting and inspection (Flanders Make – Sina Ditzel)
13:00Lunch
14:00

Hands-on demos:

  • SmartEye (Flanders Make): a user-friendly tool that allows even non-experts to easily train AI models to count products. This helps to reduce errors and support operators more efficiently.
  • Cognex cameras (VIVES): advanced vision systems that can inspect, recognise and measure parts and products. This technology can be used within customised companies for counting and quality control, for example.
  • Mixed reality inspection procedures (Support Square): a demonstration of inspection procedures using mixed reality. You can see how a tablet or passthrough device indicates step by step what needs to be checked, where and how, including planning and result processing.
16:00User Centred Experiences (UX):
The importance of user-friendliness in digitisation. Exploring applications and use cases from your organisations.
