DOT Code Inspection AI
The Requirement :
Apollo Tyres needed an accurate and scalable solution to ensure that every tire leaving the factory carries a correct DOT code. Manual inspection could not handle the high production volume and even a single missed error can lead to expensive recalls and safety issues.

Key Highlights :
• Up to 15000 tires inspected per day
• Instant detection of incorrect or missing DOT markings
• Zero impact on conveyor speed or cycle time
• Complete traceability for every tire
• Eliminates human inspection errors entirely
