Case Studies: How MoMaVi Enhances Inspection Automation

What is MoMaVi?

MoMaVi is a cutting-edge vision inspection software that eliminates the need for expensive industrial cameras or specialized lighting. Instead, it leverages the power of smartphone cameras to perform high-precision inspections with ease. 
 
Featuring an intuitive interface and powerful image processing capabilities, MoMaVi is easy to use, even for non-technical operators. This makes it an ideal solution for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to enhance quality control.

Key Inspection Functions of MoMaVi:

  • Presence/Absence Detection: Identifies whether components are present or missing.
  • Color Inspection: Ensures that products meet required color standards.
  • Quantity Counting: Automatically counts products in production.
  • OCR & Barcode Scanning: Accurately reads text, numbers, and barcodes.

Thanks to its flexible integration capabilities, MoMaVi is widely applicable across different industries, meeting various quality control requirements. 

Now, let’s explore four standout case studies demonstrating how MoMaVi automates inspection processes

Case Studies: How MoMaVi Enhances Inspection Automation

Case 1: Continuous Monitoring for Industrial Equipment

Challenge:

Industrial equipment requires 24/7 monitoring to ensure smooth operation. Manual supervision is labor-intensive and prone to human errors.

Solution:

MoMaVi was deployed on a smartphone positioned in front of the equipment control panel. The system continuously monitors status changes, such as warning lights, and automatically sends alerts via email when abnormalities are detected.

Operators can customize detection parameters (e.g., green light status, fault signals) and notification methods (e.g., sound alarms, automated reports).

Results: 

  • Real-time detection of machine status changes, minimizing downtime.
  • Cost-effective alternative to expensive industrial monitoring systems.
  • Reduced human errors, making it ideal for industries that require continuous equipment monitoring.

Case 2: Precision Coordinate Measurement in Electronics Manufacturing

Challenge:

Maintaining precise alignment of printed circuit boards (PCBs) is critical in electronics manufacturing to prevent defects.

Solution:

MoMaVi was configured to detect deviations in PCB positions by calculating the center coordinates of alignment markers. The system transmits coordinate data via LAN to a PLC for real-time adjustments while storing captured images via Wi-Fi on an FTP server for quality assurance.

Results: 

  • Ensures accurate PCB positioning, reducing misalignment issues.
  • Increases efficiency and precision in assembly processes.
  • Perfect for electronics and semiconductor industries.

Case 3: Automated Part Presence and Alignment Inspection

Challenge:

Ensuring that all required components are correctly assembled according to predefined specifications.

Solution:

MoMaVi automatically inspects images of assembled products and cross-checks them against a registered reference checklist. If all required parts are present, an “OK” notification is displayed. Operators can fine-tune inspection parameters to meet specific production needs.

Results: 

  • Eliminates human errors in quality checks.
  • Speeds up the inspection process, increasing production efficiency.
  • Applicable to multiple industries, including automotive and industrial manufacturing.

Case 4: Automated Sorting and Color Order Verification

Challenge:

In food and retail packaging, ensuring that products are correctly sorted by color or item sequence is essential for quality assurance.

Solution:

MoMaVi uses smartphone-based image inspection to analyze product color sequences and verify completeness before packaging:

Example:

  • Left screen: Detects incorrect color arrangement → NG (Not Good) result.
  • Right screen: Detects missing instruction leaflet → NG (Not Good) result.

Results: 

  • Reduces errors in product sorting and packaging.
  • Enhances quality control in the food & beverage and retail industries.
  • Fully automates visual inspection processes.
