Assembly Inspection

CAMERA INSPECTION SYSTEM

The proposed system checks assembly sequence and final connection condition. It records results and evidence before the unit proceeds to the next station.

Busbar5Sequence and agreed visual connection criteria
32CAD inventory entries

Drawing review maps entries to physical inspection points. Locking criteria apply where relevant.

Blue highlights come from the source CAD. The interlock detail does not show the entire HVIL inventory. Camera inspection does not measure torque, HVIL continuity or BMS electronic function.

Operator Workflow

STEPOPERATORSYSTEM
01Place the battery

Place the battery in the fixture.

Wait for identification.

02Select the program

Scan the identifier according to the agreed procedure.

Select the program and create a session ID.

03Install the item

Follow the item shown on the display.

Trigger inspection when hand activity enters the zone.

04Complete installation

Complete the manual installation.

Check the assembly event and final condition.

05Follow the result

Continue or follow the NG guidance.

Record the result and determine the next step.

06Final result

Follow the final inspection result.

Store evidence before sending the station output.

Each item is presented as one step.

All steps must follow the SOP sequence. No manual capture is required for each connector.

Image activity triggers inspection without a PLC part-present signal. Hand entry or exit alone does not confirm completed installation.

Inspection Results

StatusMeaning
IN PROGRESSAssembly or inspection is still in progress.
OKRequired sequence and condition checks pass, and results and evidence are stored.
NGA sequence violation or nonconforming condition has been confirmed.
NOT VERIFIEDEvidence or inspection capability is insufficient to complete the assessment.
SEQUENCE VIOLATION EXAMPLE
Required sequence (example)
MR-01MR-02MR-03
Recorded events (example)
MR-01 completedMR-03 completed
NG: SEQUENCE

MR-02 remains incomplete when MR-03 is installed.

The original NG result remains on record.

Installing MR-02 afterward does not clear the violation. Authorized personnel determine disposition according to the SOP.

An unrecorded installation event leaves the sequence unverified. An item awaiting installation is not automatically NG. NG means nonconforming.

Reordering items does not, by itself, require a new model.

Three illustrative items explain the relationship. The scope remains 32 CAD inventory entries. Shared models require validation at each point.

Inspection Records and Evidence

Each session records battery type, program version, items, timestamps, condition and sequence results, and image evidence. The battery serial number is recorded separately when available.

Implementation and Acceptance Testing

INSPECTION SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
01

Point mapping and SOP review

Inspection matrix and final-condition criteria.

02

Module-row development

Test eight connectors and the application workflow.

03

Extension to other zones

Test BMS, HVIL and busbar inspection.

04

Integration and acceptance

Station outputs, records and operating instructions.

TEST TARGETS / ORIGINAL PROPOSAL
MeasureTarget
Precision and recall for locked/unlocked classificationEach ≥98%
Detection of deliberately introduced faults≥95%
False rejection of conforming units≤2%
Response after the hand leaves the zone≤1 second

Proposed targets, not project test results. Test methods, sample sizes and acceptance criteria will be agreed before testing.

Development starts with the module-row.

The production sequence across zones follows the customer SOP. Test results will be reported by zone and fault type.
