VIVALDI develops AI-based IoT quality controls with its solution partner, Bechtle

VIVALDI Digital Solutions – VIVALDI develops AI-based IoT quality controls.

VIVALDI was born from the Schlote Group to offer innovative solutions to automotive suppliers. When it looked into further automating and simplifying the physically demanding work of inspectors, it collaborated closely with Bechtle and Intel to design an IoT application that automates the majority of quality control tasks through AI-based image recognition. The solution is not only scalable, but also fulfils the industry’s strict security requirements.

Challenge.

VIVALDI was looking to automate the manual and arduous quality testing of heavy vehicle parts and used Intel® Xeon® processors and AI-backed image recognition to develop a scalable solution that can handle even complex component geometries and optimise working conditions.

During the solution-finding process, we were able to leverage Bechtle and Intel’s comprehensive IoT and AI expertise. Bechtle provided us with a project manager who kept a keen eye on the timeline, a solution architect, a security concept and so much more while Intel supported us when it came to optimising reliable AI models. These specialists’ expertise allowed us to collaborate closely with Bechtle to design a tailored modular test cell that shows great potential for the automobile industry as a whole and for manufacturing in general.

Solution.

Working closely with Bechtle and Intel, VIVALDI developed fully-automated, AI-based quality controls that are both user-friendly and scalable. Bechtle supported the start-up when it came to selecting components and used the problems identified to help configure specific solutions. A powerful team of project managers, solution architects and other professionals designed a test cell that can be used everywhere and even copied in other companies. With VIVALDI focused on tracking software and AI, Bechtle handled developing the hardware as well as a platform and security concept. This collaboration allowed the configuration of an efficient test cell and data-driven software that ensures seamless tracking and quick troubleshooting along the entire supply chain.
