How an autonomous machine vision system increased accuracy and cut waste
The BSH Home Appliance Group is one of the leading home appliance companies worldwide and the largest in Europe. The company is committed to a progressive sustainability agenda and its entire manufacturing process is carbon neutral. In line with these values, BSH wanted to implement a quality assurance system to spot defects early on and reduce material waste, with the goal of cutting costs while benefiting the environment. The company found the perfect partner in Inspekto, the German- Israeli quality assurance specialist who invented Autonomous Machine Vision (AMV).
T
he BSH Appliance Group comprises 40 facilities worldwide and employs more than 62,000 people. Its commitment to sustainability is actualised in the production of
energy-saving appliances, as well as in the reduction of the company’s environmental footprint in all areas of the value chain. Like Inspekto, BSH is a firm believer in
innovation through digitalisation and 4.9 per cent of the company’s spending is dedicated to research and development (R&D). As a result, the company established the BSH Startup Kitchen, an initiative that offers young
companies the possibility to collaborate with BSH by offering their cutting-edge solutions to improve the company’s products and processes. The BSH Startup Kitchen tests promising new technologies and, following a successful pilot phase, offers the chance of a long-term business relationship. “We have recognised that startups are a
valuable source of innovative technologies and solutions for many of our business segments,” says Lars Roessler, venture partner at BSH Startup Kitchen. “BSH can apply such innovations directly in our product development and boost the productivity of our processes.”
