QualiSense AI engines
QualiSense has announced a five-year agreement with global manufacturer Johnson Electric. The move places the AI technology developer as Johnson Electric’s preferred software vendor for inspection and quality control using augmented AI technology. Johnson Electric hope that the AI technology will help reduce costs without compromising on quality, while also improving manufacturing processes.
Key information:
- QualiSense announces five-year deal with Johnson Electric.
- The augmented AI platform developers will become the global manufacturers' preferred software vendor for inspection and quality control.
- Initially, the pair will target 100 inspection points in various complex metal surface inspections, with the aim to expand into different use cases in the future.
The five-year deal was finalised following the successful installation and piloting of QualiSense’s technology in various Johnson Electric production lines throughout Canada and China. While the primary hopes of the collaboration are to reduce costs and improve manufacturing processes, there are additional plans to integrate the insights into the design process, to improve the manufacturability of new products.
The duo will be initially targeting 100 inspection points, with these projects set to cover various complex metal surface inspections. But then over the next five years, there will be an expansion into different use cases, production processes and sensors, with the aim to cover Johnson Electric’s manufacturing needs globally.
“QualiSense AI is crucial for maintaining and strengthening Johnson Electric’s leading position in the Industry 5.0 era, bringing state-of-the-art inspection capabilities to ensure that our products are consistently of the highest quality,” said Austin Wang, Senior Vice President at Johnson Electric. “This will deepen our software and AI capabilities within our business – as well as strengthen the foundations for a unique and exciting software product for the worldwide quality inspection market.”
QualiSense, originally known as Lean AI, was founded by Johnson Electric Group and Cortica Group in 2021. The joint start-up venture aimed to produce AI technology, which has since matured in functionality, a process that has resulted in the rebranding.
“Our proven solution for quality assurance has already been successfully deployed on the production floor and this agreement gives us the opportunity to roll it out on an even larger scale,” explained Erez Tsur, CEO and Co-founder of QualiSense. “With the complexity and capability of AI changing so rapidly, entering a five-year deal with one of the world’s largest micro-motor manufacturers highlights the growing confidence in QualiSense’s Augmented AI disruptive technology.”
