By replacing manual inspections with AI-driven analysis, Axens has streamlined its quality control process, setting a new standard for efficiency in catalyst production.

The Challenge

Ensuring precise anomaly detection in catalyst production was a key challenge for Axens. The manual inspection process led to:

01.

Inconsistent Anomaly Detection

Variability in manual inspections resulted in defects going unnoticed, affecting overall quality.

02.

High Operational Costs

Labor-intensive inspections increased costs and slowed down production efficiency.

03.

Delayed Issue Identification

Without real-time monitoring, anomalies were detected late, causing unplanned downtime.

04.

Limited Production Insights

The lack of dynamic tracking made it difficult to analyze production trends and optimize processes.
