AI Spark Plug Inspector
Real-time defect detector that marks each spark plug pass or fail on screen, giving line operators an instant verdict. Domain: Manufacturing.
The challenge
Manual spark plug inspection is slow and inconsistent, letting defective units slip through to downstream assembly.
The approach
YOLOv8 real-time defect detector with color-coded pass/fail overlays (green = good, red = defective) for instant operator feedback on the inspection line.
About this project
This demo showcases an AI solution that automatically identifies defective spark plugs in real-time using YOLOv8 object detection. The system provides instant visual feedback through color-coded boxes and pass/fail indicators: green boxes for functional spark plugs and red boxes for defective ones.
