We Are Looking for Solutions to Transform Quality Control Processes in Wheel Manufacturing!
As Maxion Wheels, through our open innovation platform İnci Radar, we invite technology developers and startups to collaborate with us in detecting defects early and ensuring high quality standards in wheel production.
With this call, we aim to cooperate on innovative solutions that enable real-time detection and prevention of visual, structural, and dimensional defects in casting, welding, and measurement processes.
Specific Problem/Need/Opportunity Area
Early detection of quality defects in the wheel production process plays a critical role in production efficiency and product safety.
Traditional inspection methods can be time-consuming, prone to human error, and limited in scope.
For this reason, smart systems supported by technologies such as artificial intelligence, image processing, and sensor systems are needed on production lines.
As Maxion Wheels, we are looking to discover technologies for early scrap detection, automatic analysis of surface defects, monitoring of weld imperfections, and prevention of dimensional deviations.
