AI object recognition apps published by BMW Group

BMW aims for a more advanced technology performance and it comes with the role of AI. The company has recently published a software package on the famous platform GitHub. Accordingly, this software features a capability for the AI to easily scan and recognize objects.

This big innovation will possibly show off as the BMW Labelling Tool. It will allow the users to label objects in photos and can easily do this as well in offline mode. With its purpose, the AI can recognize or scan objects in different photos. Moreover, it also shows a more improved helping hand in the production process of the BMW vehicles. Without the need to learn coding, the advantage of this AI-supported tool is that anyone can learn to use and adapt it according to their needs.

According to Michele Melchiorre, Head of Production System, Planning, a remarkably easier daily work of their employees becomes possible with the smart AI solutions such as this. This is because users won’t need to worry about how to use this kind of technology. It goes the same with how good smartphone apps today are functioning. Melchiorre added that this tool, just like the smartphone apps, is “easy to install, quick to understand, use it of your own accord”. Seeing a tool that is high in demand is only possible when it shows the said characteristics and functionalities.

The production representatives begin the training of the apps by capturing and labeling the photos. This will then allow them to suit their needs for the said production. After working on the labels, the AI software activates independently and can easily determine what is “right” and “wrong” after a couple of hours.

The AI-supported app can also quickly and accurately recognize whether the right parts have been integrated. An AI app can do this as it compares live images from the production. At BMW Group Plant Munich, the AI app operates for the ten different BMW 3 Series Sedan door sill strips. The app compares live images during the production process and provided exceptional results.

The AI-based object recognition finally gains a solution through the BMW Group’s latest release. These additional features aim to impress users who value and appreciate high system solidity. Some of the added object-recognition interfaces (API) includes the load balancing and fall-over features. Aiming to provide an easier life for their staff, the BMW Group provides a complete host of AI apps in its Production and Logistics and it was deemed successful.
