Alice Screw Detection
A global leader in medical technology, Globus Medical was struggling with one critical bottleneck – manual quality inspections. Each orthopedic screw took up to 120 seconds to inspect, slowing down production and inflating costs. Techolution partnered with them to deploy AI in robotics, enabling a fully automated quality control process that now runs 24/7. The outcome? Quality inspection time dropped from 120 seconds to just 5 seconds per unit. Today, their AI-powered system supports rapid, accurate production of life-saving surgical screws at industrial scale.
Alice Screw Detection
Producing medical implants demands extreme precision – down to 0.01mm. Globus Medical’s existing process relied on human inspection, which was not only slow but prone to inconsistency. With production volumes rising and FDA regulations tightening, the company needed a faster, more reliable solution that wouldn’t compromise on accuracy or compliance.
Techolution engineered a turnkey solution that blended robotic process automation in healthcare with advanced AI-based defect detection. Two AI-driven inspection methods were explored:
The system was designed to meet stringent healthcare standards and achieve 0.01mm defect detection precision. It included :
Together, these components formed a robotic AI system capable of running uninterrupted 24/7 without human intervention.
18x improvement in quality control throughput
Reduced inspection time from 120 seconds to 5 seconds per screw
Maintained 0.01mm precision critical for patient safety
Enabled round-the-clock operations and lowered inspection costs
Established a scalable framework for AI in robotics in the medical device industry
Our robotics AI was bored of fulfilling orders for manufacturers, performing quality control & high precision bone screws. So we trained her to be the first cobot to open a beverage refrigerator, take orders in multiple languages through a conversational AI, & serve people their drinks at events.
