Case Study: Automobile Manufacturer achieves faster, more accurate multi-axis AOI and improved production quality with Advantech ARK-3520

Empower Automated Optical Inspection for Automobile Factory

Automobile Company needed a flexible, high‑performance Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) solution for multi‑axis automobile assembly lines because traditional machine‑vision systems were designed for fixed positions and couldn’t capture parts from multiple angles. They turned to Advantech to deliver a robust platform capable of supporting robot‑mounted cameras, rapid synchronous image capture, and real‑time production monitoring.

Advantech implemented a modular, fanless ARK‑3520 automation computer with PCIE‑1674E/PCIE‑1672E camera cards (PoE‑capable), iDoor/ARK‑Plus I/O expansion, and embedded software (WebAccess/SCADA and WISE‑PaaS/RMM). This setup enabled power-over-Ethernet robot‑mounted cameras, fast synchronized image capture, flexible I/O integration, and cloud/remote device management—improving inspection flexibility, speed, accuracy, and on‑line reliability for the Automobile Company.
