AI defect detection for die‑casting lines

CorteX analyzes production images to detect surface defects early, helping foundries reduce scrap and launch pilots in weeks instead of months

The High Cost of Undetected Defects

Traditional sampling leaves 90% of your production unchecked. A defect found at the casting stage costs €2, but finding that same defect after machining costs €200. CorteX closes this 'Scrap Gap' with 100% visual coverage

About CorteX

CorteX provides real-time visual inspection designed specifically for high-pressure die-casting lines. By integrating AI directly with your existing camera feeds, CorteX identifies surface cracks, cold shuts, and porosity the moment they occur. This allows your quality team to screen parts before machining, preventing costly tool damage and significantly reducing annual scrap rates

While specialized in die-casting, CorteX is designed to adapt to visual inspection tasks in stamping, injection molding, and forging

What CorteX Shows You

  • Real-Time Defect Flagging: CorteX flags likely surface defects—such as cracks or porosity—and highlights them directly on the part image for immediate visibility.

  • Actionable QA Insights: Quality teams use this view to quickly decide what to scrap, rework, or pass before machining

  • High-Speed Analysis: Delivering results in <0.12 seconds, ensuring continuous inline visual inspection across all parts without slowing down your production cycle

  • Decision Support: Combine defect trends with process data to support data‑driven improvement and maintenance planning

Image Capture

We place a camera near the die-casting machine or inspection station to capture images of each part

Processing

CorteX runs on an on-site edge PC/box and processes images in near real-time, ensuring data security and speed

Outputs

The system produces OK/NOK decisions, defect overlays, and simple dashboard reports

Our Vision: Solving Critical Quality Challenges in Die Casting

Beyond today’s AI defect detection, we are building CorteX to eventually:

The Problem being solved

CorteX integrates Vision AI with generative conversation and predictive analytics to create a proactive assistant that:

  • Detects surface defects in real-time through high-speed camera feeds.
  • Moving toward analyzing and predicting structural defects through fused image and process data.
  • Predict equipment faults before they happen
  • Enable natural-language insights for operators—operators can ask “What’s causing the issue?” or “Which machine shows early failure signs?”.
  • Learns continuously from previous events to improve accuracy and recommendations.

The Users

  • Maintenance Managers / Reliability Engineers
  • Quality Assurance (QA) / Quality Control Engineers
  • Plant Managers / Operations Directors
  • Process Engineers / Continuous Improvement Specialists
  • Frontline Operators / Technicians

The Problem Statement

Manufacturers lose up to 20% of annual revenue due to quality defects, rework, wastage of scraps and unexpected equipment failures.
Current inspection systems are reactive and slow, while production data remains underutilized. This results in:

  • Delayed detection of visual defects.
  • Lack of actionable root-cause insights.
  • Frequent, costly downtime events.

Start your die-casting pilot

Early detection of visual defects can reduce scrap/rework rates by at least 15–20%.

  • Operators prefer AI-guided insights if the system communicates transparently
  • Predictive models built from existing line data can minimize downtime without new hardware investment.
