METHOD FOR INSPECTING A CORRECT EXECUTION OF A PROCESSING STEP OF COMPONENTS, IN PARTICULAR A WIRING HARNESS, DATA STRUCTURE, AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240029234 titled 'METHOD FOR INSPECTING A CORRECT EXECUTION OF A PROCESSING STEP OF COMPONENTS, IN PARTICULAR A WIRING HARNESS, DATA STRUCTURE, AND SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The described method is a key enabler for optical inspection that dynamically uses individual marks (such as fiducials, barcodes, and data matrix codes) in scenes. These marks go beyond their basic presence and are used to identify components, locations, define dependencies between identity and location, and automate the detection and evaluation of these dependencies.

  • The method uses individual marks in scenes for optical inspection.
  • The marks are not just present, but their change in situation is used for processing.
  • The same marks are used for identifying components, locations, and defining dependencies.
  • The method automates the detection and evaluation of these dependencies.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Optical inspection in manufacturing processes.
  • Quality control in production lines.
  • Object tracking and identification in logistics and supply chain management.
  • Automated inventory management.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient and accurate identification of components and locations.
  • Streamlining the inspection process by automating the detection of dependencies.
  • Reducing human error in optical inspection tasks.
  • Improving overall quality control in manufacturing processes.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased efficiency and productivity in optical inspection tasks.
  • Improved accuracy and reliability in identifying components and locations.
  • Cost savings by reducing manual labor and human error.
  • Enhanced quality control and product consistency.


Original Abstract Submitted

the described method as a key enabler for optical inspection dynamically uses individual marks like fiducials, barcodes, data matrix codes (“markers”) in the scenes, beyond their basic presence, meaning the change of situation between a first processing status and a subsequent processing status in the processing station. the same markers are simultaneously used for: the identification of components (“comp”); the identification of locations (“loc”); the definition of dependencies between identity and location (valid, invalid); and the automated detection and evaluation of the dependencies.
