Explore the latest trends in the industry. Smart Factory Automation Exhibition Review
I visited the Smart Factory Automation Exhibition (AW 2025) held at COEX in Seoul for 3 days from March 12 (Wed) to March 14 (Fri), 2025. It was a large exhibition that used the entire COEX exhibition hall. Despite the recent economic downturn, the high number of visitors was very encouraging. Various solutions for smart factories and automation from different companies were noticeable. The most striking point was that many Chinese companies were participating in the exhibition. While they may not have offered solutions with the best performance and precision, they were nevertheless conducting aggressive marketing by supplying products at 50% of the price of foreign products. While this would be difficult to apply to solutions boasting the highest precision, it was expected that they would quickly erode the market in lower-tier industries by leveraging their tremendous price competitiveness. |

Brake Disk FRF Inspection
We've succeeded in detecting bearing cracks through acoustic resonance testing!
Bearings play a vital role in machinery, similar to a heart. However, a defect in this small component can cause the entire system to fail. Particularly, when cracks develop in bearings, vibration and noise increase, lubrication problems occur, temperature rises, and eventually lead to equipment performance deterioration and unexpected breakdowns. To prevent these issues in advance, AI Systems Co., Ltd. has developed bearing crack detection technology using acoustic resonance, and recently validated its effectiveness through testing. AI Systems Co., Ltd. used acoustic resonance techniques to detect cracks by striking the bearing housing with a consistent force and analyzing the resulting resonance frequencies. Comparing normal products with defective ones, deformations in specific frequency ranges were identified in the defective products. Notably, it could accurately detect heat treatment process defects such as quenching, tempering omissions, and surface decarburization. This provides significant advantages over conventional non-destructive testing methods as it is faster, more efficient, and capable of mass inspection.

Acoustic resonance testing can produce inspection results in just 1 second, greatly contributing to productivity improvement. Compared to traditional ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle testing, eddy current testing, and penetrant testing, acoustic resonance testing can detect internal cracks, has faster inspection speeds, and enables mass inspection at economical costs. It is expected to become an essential quality control method, especially in manufacturing industries such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery. |

The acoustic resonance inspection system developed based on AI Systems Co., Ltd.'s technology is not only used for sampling inspection in research and development departments but can also be used for 100% inspection on production lines when an auto-impact hammer is applied. Many bearing manufacturers have already adopted this technology to maximize quality and minimize defects in bearing race (Outer ring, Inner ring) manufacturing processes. It can detect various heat treatment process defects (quenching, tempering, surface decarburization, etc.) very quickly and accurately.
If you want to produce high-quality bearings and secure safety by detecting defects in advance, we recommend implementing AI Systems Co., Ltd.'s acoustic resonance inspection system now. It will be the optimal solution to improve both productivity and quality simultaneously. |

Bolt Defect Detector
This is a bolt defect detector that can quickly perform 100% inspection of bolt defects. It is suitable for inspecting internal cracks or specialized for determining heat treatment status. The inspection time is sufficient at just 1 second. Automated non-destructive 100% inspection is now essential, not optional.
