Creative Electron Awarded Patent for Autonomous X-ray Inspection
November 11, 2020 | Creative ElectronEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
At Creative Electron, the future of X-ray inspection is now. The company has been awarded patent US 10,823,685 “Method and system to automatically inspect parts using x-rays” for AI powered programing of X-ray inspection systems.
“This patent is a reflection of our commitment to push the envelope when it comes to fulfilling our customers’ needs,” said Dr. Bill Cardoso, Creative Electron’s founder and CEO. “The protection of our IP is critical to allow us to continue investing in R&D to deliver fully autonomous X-ray inspection systems.”
This patent reflects technology Creative Electron has been developing that allows a sample to be inspected without the need for an operator to program the machine. Utilizing AI engines and sophisticated machine learning algorithms, programing for both navigator level and planner level is fully automated, saving valuable time and reducing errors. Highly trained and skilled operators can be redirected to more productive tasks, while errors associated with human inspection are reduced via autonomous decision making. Once programed, the system is enabled to navigate to all required inspection points, capture and analyze images, assess quality based on established test criteria, and finally report results for each sample. All without human intervention.
