Abstract:
The requirement of product quality inspection in industries for product standardized leads to a development of the quality inspection system. The problem is related to a manual inspection that is done by a human as an inspector. This paper presents an automated real-time vision quality inspection monitoring system as a problem solver to a manual inspection that is tedious and time-consuming task as well as reducing cost especially in small and medium enterprise industries (SME). For the proposed system, soft drink is used as the test product for quality inspection. The system uses computer-network to inspect two quality inspections which are color concentration and water level. The analysis includes pre-processing, color concentration using the histogram and quadratic distance and level inspection using coordinate vertical and horizontal reference levels. The similarities of both experimental and simulation results are obtained for both parameters which are 100% accuracy using 205 samples.

Abstract:
Manual visual inspection is by far the most widely used weld inspection method. A given weld may be visually examined multiple times as parts are joined and made into assemblies. Because visual inspection is somewhat subjective, and prone to error (a typical inspector only identifies about 85% of the visible defects); welds that pass one inspection may fail subsequent inspections, resulting in multiple inspection and repair cycles. This paper discusses a project that tested the benefits and limitations of a semiautomated weld inspection system. The goal of this semiautomated inspection approach is to provide quantitative, nonsubjective quality measurements of welded structures in order to: eliminate redundant inspections, reduce unnecessary multiple repair cycles, avoid repair of welds that meet minimum size requirements, and enable recording of weld size so that overwelding can be identified and reduced. The technology would also allow tracking of weld quality and statistical analysis of welding process capability to support lean/six-sigma continuous improvement initiatives. A prototype system was assembled and field tested by inspecting actual ship structures. The equipment evaluated has potential, but needs both hardware and software modifications before it can be used as a tool on a regular basis in a shipbuilding environment. As is, it will be useful as an audit tool to gauge the health of the visual inspection process and to further document the inherent variability of the visual inspection process. Recommendations were made for improvements to refine the prototype tool prior to broader deployment.

Abstract:
Inspecting the smoothness and durability of the exterior and interior surfaces of manufactured products such as large passenger aircraft requires utilizing manufacturing precision instruments. Manual techniques are mainly adopted in inspections, which are, however, much costly and have low efficiency. Moreover, manual operation is more prone to missing and false inspections. To cope with these issues, effective precision instruments have been needed to devise intelligent inspections for impalpable damages as necessary tools. When many inspection tasks are investigated, very few public datasets are available to recognize the intelligent inspection of precision instruments. On the other hand, precision instruments can be applied to a wide variety of damages. YOLO V3 was proposed based on acquiring and processing the image appearances, which deal with the surface inspection of the precision instrument in this study. The image dataset of the impalpable damage was initially established. More specifically, the YOLO V3 detection network is leveraged to roughly calculate the location of the damage appearances and identify the damage type. Afterward, the designed level set algorithm was employed to obtain more accurate damage locations in the image block utilizing the characteristics of different types of damages. Finally, a quantitative analysis was performed employing the refined detection results. A deep architecture that can intelligently conduct damage detection was proposed. Besides, the proposed method exhibited a strong tolerance for unknown types of damages and excellent flexibility and adaptability. Extensive experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method can alleviate the shortcomings of the traditional inspection methods. Thus, it provided technical guidance for the applications of the intelligent orbital inspection of the robots. The proposed method with a more precise and noninvasive inspection technique remarkably accelerates the inspection time of impalpable damages on surfaces.

Abstract:
The manual visual inspection of ropes, both wire and fibre ropes, is still the preferred method of choice for the inspection of suspension means and for safety assessment. As the ropes are usually of a longer length of several hundred metres, manual visual inspection can lead to undetected defects due to inspector fatigue. On the other hand, the inspector only sees the surface facing him and there is no recorded data of the inspection that can be used for clarification in case of a rope breakage. Due to these points, it is advantageous to perform an automated camera-based inspection where several cameras are arranged around the rope. Especially with high modular fibre ropes, which are used in more and more fields of application, visual inspection is a decisive point in the evaluation of operational safety. IFT is currently conducting and has conducted research projects in this field of work.

Abstract:
In automotive manufacturing, quality inspection of spot welding demands excessive manual operations. Operators refer to a printed drawing of the testing body, with the inspection points marked on this drawing. Operators have to locate the matching spot on the drawing and the body manually to perform the inspection. Further more, different subsets of spots are inspected on different car bodies with a pre-determined sequence. This paper describes a system that projects visual data onto arbitrary surfaces for providing just-in-time information to a user in-situ within a physical work-cell. This system aims to reduce the inefficiencies and potential mistakes in manual inspection process. This paper discusses how spatial augmented reality and head-mount displays may be combined to display global information visible by all operators as well as personalized information to individuals. Further investigations on applying spatial augmented reality for spot welding inspections are explored, including four types of digital information projected onto the surfaces of car body parts under structured work environments: 1) Location of spot welds; 2) Inspection methods; 3) Operation Description Sheet (ODS) information; 4) Visualization of weld locating methods. Three visualization methods are used to attract operators' attention to locate the position of spot welds efficiently. This paper also proposes a method to project augmentations on objects moving along an assembly line. The proposed system allows operators becoming more effective and efficient in performing proper inspections, by providing them the required information at the required time without the need to refer to paper-based manuals or computer terminals.

Abstract:
Pallet racking is an essential element within warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities. To guarantee its safe operation as well as stock protection and personnel safety, pallet racking requires continuous inspections and timely maintenance in the case of damage being discovered. Conventionally, a rack inspection is a manual quality inspection process completed by certified inspectors. The manual process results in operational down-time as well as inspection and certification costs and undiscovered damage due to human error. Inspired by the trend toward smart industrial operations, we present a computer vision-based autonomous rack inspection framework centered around YOLOv7 architecture. Additionally, we propose a domain variance modeling mechanism for addressing the issue of data scarcity through the generation of representative data samples. Our proposed framework achieved a mean average precision of 91.1%.

Abstract:
Residential deck and balcony failures are preventable if the decks and balconies are maintained and inspected regularly. Inspection of in-service decks or balconies is not common and often is unregulated or building codes do not appear to be widely enforced. With every failure, the need for a comprehensive inspection manual for residential wood decks and balconies becomes more apparent. Research was conducted on inspection techniques, common deck and balcony construction methods, maintenance issues, decay detection and the evolution of the building code regulations on decks and balconies. Eight decks were inspected to find the extent of structural inadequacies and non-conformance with building codes. Using the information gathered from the research and inspections, a Manual for the Inspection of Residential Wood Decks and Balconies was written for professional inspectors and building officials. The manual includes recommended methods to prepare for inspection to preparation of final reports. It contains an appendix with information on the "pick test" for detecting early decay, information on adequate deck attachment, and a sample report for a complete deck inspection.

Full text
Abstract:
Reliability and repeatability are fundamental concepts in ultrasonic nondestructive testing. An inspection technique must be able to accurately detect, characterize, position and size any defect indication. In manual ultrasonic inspection, however, the operator can be a frequent source of error. Mistakes often arise due to the volume of information the operator must memorize and process. Existing solutions require mechanical probe manipulators that restrict the operator's movements and often require changes to trusted methods and procedures. The aim of this research programme was to investigate the potential of a computer system that assists the operator in the analysis of echodynamic patterns. The system allows the operator to record A-scan sequences, store them to disk, and recall them for review. The system's flexible user interface gives the operator freedom to retain existing inspection practices, in addition to the benefits of computer recording. A novel feature of the system was a speech recognition system to provide hands-free control, which minimizes disruption to the flow of the inspection. Trials were conducted to assess the recognizer's reliability under various conditions. The trials showed that focusing upon echodynamic pattern analysis is a valid and useful approach. Only a limited trial was conducted, however, so the research program was not able to conclusively show that the system will reduce operator errors or improve inspection reliability. In user testing sessions, operators agreed that such a system would be helpful during a manual inspection and there were few objections to the imposition of new hardware. Users quickly became used to the speech recognizer, and the speed of interaction and 'flow' of inspection were greatly enhanced. The author suggests that a computerized assistant is worthy of further development, and has the potential to be a valuable tool in manual ultrasonic inspection.

While the number of international passengers around the world is increasing, the airport has introduced various automated equipment in order to shorten the operating time before passengers boarding. However, setting up new equipment at airports requires a lot of costs. For investors, the most important thing is whether the cost of inputs can bring the expected benefits. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to use the cost and benefit model for automatic clearance and manual inspections to assess the differences in the use of automatic clearance or manual inspections, and to further analyze the trend of the next ten years and reduce the sensitivity to changes in salary levels. The 105-year manual inspection and automatic clearance of Kaohsiung International Airport was the case study. The results show that the cost of personnel inspections had the highest proportion of personnel costs, and that auto-clearance was cheaper. Overall, the total cost of manual inspections is more than Automatic clearance equipment. In terms of efficiency, the benefits of automatic customs clearance are greater than manual inspections. In the analysis of the trend over the next ten years, the increase in manual inspections will be greater than the automatic clearance; in terms of salary changes, if the country’s salary level is only 8%, the total cost of using automatic customs clearance equipment will be higher than manual inspection. The above findings will provide airport operators and equipment investors as reference points for decision making.

Abstract:
AbstractWeb accessibility evaluation is concerned with assessing the extent to which web content meets accessibility guidelines. Web accessibility evaluation is typically conducted using manual inspection, user testing and automated testing. The process of automating aspects of accessibility evaluation is of interest to accessibility evaluation practitioners due to manual evaluations requiring substantial time and effort [1]. The use of multiple evaluation tools is recommended [9, 9]; however, aggregating and summarising the results from multiple tools can be challenging [1].This paper presents a Python software prototype for the automatic ensemble of web accessibility evaluation tools. The software prototype performs website accessibility evaluations against the WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines by utilising a combination of four free and commercial evaluation tools. The results from the tools are aggregated and presented in a report for evaluation.The tool enables practitioners to benefit from a coherent report of the findings of different accessibility conformance testing tools, without having to run each separately and then manually combine the results of the tests. Thus, it is envisaged that the tool will provide practitioners with reliable data about unmet accessibility guidelines in an efficient manner.

Abstract:
AbstractAssembly represents a fundamental step in manufacturing, being a time-consuming and costly process, on which the final quality of the product mostly depends. Augmented Reality (AR) may represent a key tool to assist workers during assembly, thanks to the possibility to provide the user of real-time instructions and information superimposed on the work environment. Many implementations have been developed by industries and academic institutions for both manual and collaborative assembly. Among the most remarkable examples of the last few years are applications in guidance of complex tasks, training of personnel, quality control and inspection.

Abstract:
Quality performance of building construction is frequently assessed throughout the construction life cycle. In Hong Kong, quality management system must be established before commencing new building works. Regular building inspections are conducted in accordance with the code of practice of new building works. Quality managers are deployed in construction sites to inspect and record any building defects. The concrete cracks must be identified, which is usually followed by proposed rectifications, in order to protect the public and occupants from dangers. This chapter is structured as follows: Background information of concrete cracks is firstly given. Traditional technique of conducting regular manual inspection is introduced, in accordance with Hong Kong’s code of practice “Building Performance Assessment Scoring System (PASS)”. Then, an advanced technique of conducting crack inspection intelligently based on computer vision is introduced. The procedures of defining, training, and benchmarking the architecture of convolutional neural network models are presented. The calculation steps are detailed and illustrated using a simple textbook example. An experiment case study is used to compare the time, cost of inspecting concrete cracks using both manual and advanced technique. The study concludes with a presentation of the future vision of robot-human collaboration for inspecting concrete cracks in building construction.

Abstract On July 26, 2019, the NRC issued Inspection Procedure 71111, Attachment 21N.02 (IP 71111.21N.02), “Design-Basis Capability of Power-Operated Valves Under 10 CFR 50.55a Requirements.” The objective of this inspection procedure is to assess the reliability, functional capability, and design basis of risk-important power-operated valves (POVs) as required by Section 55a, “Codes and Standards,” in Part 50, “Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,” of Title 10, “Energy,” in the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 50.55a). The NRC staff has implemented this inspection procedure at operating nuclear power plants in the United States (U.S.) since January 2020 and has gained lessons learned through implementation of and feedback from the inspections. The staff has held a public meeting with nuclear power plant licensees to discuss the lessons learned from the inspection activities in December 2020. This paper describes the status of the ongoing NRC staff activities for POV inspections at operating U.S. nuclear power plants and the lessons learned through implementation of the inspections.

Full text
Abstract:
A remote-controlled inspection robot for nuclear facilities in underwater environment was developed. The Array system of Eddy Current Testing (Array-ECT) is installed on the existing robot that consists of the driving unit and the inspection unit with enlarged Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) camera. It can swim in the tank, crawl on the inner surface of the tank, stay on the inspection area and by its two devices, Array-ECT and enlarged CCD camera, start inspection. Array-ECT can record the color contour image, and also can display oscillograph. This technology had been developed in order to reduce worker’s radiation exposure and improve inspection-ability in nuclear power plants for some Radioactive Waste (RW) tanks. With conventional manual inspection, RW tanks must be examined with the sequence of (a) full drainage and decontamination, (b) scaffolding set-up with workers under high dose, and (c) manual inspection. As such, the inspection is time consuming and workers should have high radiation exposure. With the original robot that has only enlarged CCD camera, inspection can be performed without tank drainage and with minimum worker’s radiation exposure. However, it needs experienced inspector for interpretation of visual examination using enlarged CCD camera. Newly developed robot with Array-ECT and enlarged CCD camera can achieve the same performance using the original robot and an experienced inspector for visual inspection using enlarged CCD camera. The new feature added to the original design (i.e. Array-ECT) eliminates the need for an experienced inspector.

Abstract:
Construction inspection is a critical component of INDOT’s quality assurance (QA) program. Upon receiving an inspection notice/assignment, INDOT inspectors review the plans and specifications to identify the construction quality requirements and conduct their inspections accordingly. This manual approach to gathering inspection requirements from textual documents is time-consuming, subjective, and error-prone. This project addresses this critical issue by developing an inspection requirements database along with a set of tools to automatically gather the inspection requirements and provide field crews with customized construction checklists during the inspection with the specifics of what to check, when to check, and how to check, as well as the risks and the actions to take when noncompliance is encountered. This newly developed toolset eliminates the manual effort required to acquire construction requirements, which will enhance the efficiency of the construction inspection process at INDOT. It also enables the incorporation of field-collected data to automate future compliance checking and facilitate construction documentation.

Full text
Abstract:
Fossil fuel power plants are complex systems containing multiple components that create extreme environments for the purpose of extracting usable energy. Failures in the system can lead to increased down time for the plant, reduction of power and significant cost for repairs. In the past, inspections and maintenance of the plant's superheater tubes has been predominantly manual, laborious, and extremely time consuming. This is due to the pipe's small diameter size (between 1.3 and 7.6 cm) and the coiled structure of the tubing. In addition, the tubes are often stacked close to each other, limiting access for external inspection. Detection of pipe degradation, such as increased levels of corrosion, creep, and the formation of micro-cracks is possible using standard non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods, including ultrasonic, radiography and electromagnetic methods. However, when the access to the sub-systems is limited or the configuration of the structure is prohibitive, alternative methods are needed for deploying the NDE tools. This research effort considers a novel robotic inspection system for the evaluation of small pipes found in typical boiler superheaters that have limited access. The pipe crawler system is an internal inspection device that can potentially navigate through the entire pipe length using linear actuators to grip the walls and inch along the pipe. The modular nature of the system allows it to traverse through straight sections and multiple 90-degree and 180-degree bends. The crawler is also capable of providing visual inspections, ultrasonic thickness measurements, and generating inner diameter surface maps using LiDAR (light detection and ranging). Ultimately, the development of this robotic inspection tool can provide information regarding the structural integrity of key pipeline components in fossil fuel power plants that are not easily accessible
