Defect Detection in 300°C Forging Processes with CorteX

AI Defect Detection for Hot Forging Lines Above 300°C

Detect defects in-line under extreme heat, dust, and scale—without disrupting your cycle time through our seamless shadow-mode validation.

How CorteX Helps Hot Forging Lines

We deliver a complete, production-ready solution designed specifically for harsh mass forming environments:

  • Edge AI Cameras: High-speed sensors packaged in specialized protective enclosures to withstand extreme radiant heat (300°C+), dust, and lubricants.
  • Shadow-Mode Deployment: The system integrates passively into your plant background, learning variations without altering your active line speeds or PLC logic.
  • Structured 8-Week Validation: A dedicated onboarding phase where our models are fine-tuned directly on-site to perfectly separate harmless scale from actual defects.

Key Business Outcomes

  • Massive Scrap Reduction: Minimize expensive material waste by stopping process drifts within seconds instead of minutes.
  • Resource & Energy Efficiency: Save raw materials and secondary heating energy by catching defective batches before they hit downstream value-add steps
  • Immediate Alerts: Instantly spot systematic tool defects the moment a component leaves the forming die, preventing serial defects.

How Deployment Works

  1. Sensor Integration: Specialized hardware is safely positioned right at your hot forming output line.
  2. Edge AI Processing: Heavy computational models evaluate every single part in milliseconds on local edge servers.
  3. Shadow-Mode Training: The system actively learns without disrupting active plant cycles.
  4. 8-Week Validation: Complete optimization to guarantee real-world, high-accuracy defect capture before active go-live.
