Automated Injection Molding | Eureka AI Vision System
Automated injection molding process
Maruwa Electronic & Chemical, a manufacturer of automotive plastic components, successfully automated the sorting of 35 different parts discharged from plastic molding machines after the annealing process.
Before: Operators visually inspected the parts and manually sorted them into trays
- Heavy reliance on operator skill for quality control
- Rework and delays caused by mixed parts or defects detected downstream
- Operational instability due to labor shortages and frequent reallocation
After: Automated sorting was successfully achieved by deploying an AI vision system
- Two operators reduced with an estimated two-year payback
- 100% recognition and sorting accuracy achieved
