Kapito Japan Showcases AI Inspection at CONVERTECH 2026
Kapito Japan is taking a bold step forward in the realm of quality control with its innovative AI inspection solution, fastable.ai. Set to debut at the prestigious CONVERTECH 2026 from January 28 to 30 at Tokyo Big Sight, this exhibition will showcase how Kapito's technology redefines the conventional limitations found in automated optical inspection (AOI).
The Challenges of Traditional AOI
Traditional AOI systems are known for their inherent limitations, often rendering them ineffective in modern manufacturing environments, especially in roll-to-roll (R2R) processes. Some issues with traditional AOI systems include:
- - Dependency on thresholds, leading to frequent adjustments and unstable performance.
- - Inability to detect defects smaller than 100µm.
- - Missed detection of unexpected defects.
- - Significant variability between production lots.
- - Susceptibility to material differences, lighting changes, and background variations.
- - Extensively labor-intensive adjustments, heavily reliant on the operator's expertise.
- - Difficulty distinguishing subtle defects, leading to erroneous results.
- - Lack of insights into the underlying causes of defects.
These challenges not only hamper defect detection but fundamentally obstruct efforts to improve production processes.
Kapito's fastable.ai: A Game Changer
Kapito's fastable.ai addresses and overcomes these traditional AOI pitfalls by transforming the inspection process in multiple ways:
- - Real-time Learning: The AI adapts automatically to new types of defects, providing enhanced detection capabilities.
- - Stable Performance: It is designed to remain stable under varying conditions such as material and lot differences.
- - Comprehensive Classification: The system can classify defects by type beyond merely passing or failing, enriching the data collected.
- - Insight Generation: The AI can understand the significance, trends, and origins of defects, providing actionable insights for production improvement.
- - Statistical Analysis: Fastable.ai facilitates statistical analysis, leading to predictive maintenance and overall process improvements.
This transformation signifies a notable shift from merely identifying defects to a system dedicated to fostering continuous enhancement in R2R manufacturing processes.
Precision Detection of a Broad Range of Defects
With its proprietary CNN algorithm, fastable.ai can identify and categorize over 50 different types of defects at high precision, incredibly vital for R2R manufacturing. Traditional systems often falter in detecting defects like scratches, foreign substances, or micro-level issues. However, fastable.ai excels here, liberating production lines from the burdens of tedious threshold adjustments.
Beyond Inspection: Driving Process Improvement and Predictive Insights
Fastable.ai's capabilities extend beyond simple defect extraction; it visualizes defect trends, distribution, and frequency automatically. This not only helps in understanding why specific defects occur but also aids in process improvements, recurrence prevention, and predictive insights, significantly enhancing production efficiency.
Adaptable Solutions for Dynamic R2R Environments
The R2R manufacturing process often encounters frequent changes in materials and production conditions. Nevertheless, fastable.ai is equipped with continuous learning capabilities that allow it to adapt rapidly to these changes, ensuring stable inspection performance in environments characterized by rapid line changes and diverse material usage.
Aligning with the CONVERTECH Audience
Kapito's fastable.ai is perfectly suited for sectors heavily investing in AI inspections, such as those working with aluminum foil, copper foil, LIB electrode materials, functional films, and electronic components. The solution is positioned to enhance the efficacy and reliability of inspections across these critical areas.
Comprehensive Support for the Japanese Market
In a strategic move to solidify its presence in Japan, Kapito established a local subsidiary, Kapito Japan, in 2024. This will ensure tailored support for sales, implementation, and technical inquiries, allowing the company to maintain direct communication with clients. Their focus on seamless integration and ongoing support from pre-sale assessment to operational assistance showcases their commitment to client success.
