|---|---|
| Defect type | Fine cracks and surface defects on stamped panels |
| Part | Stamped steel body panels (5,400-ton press line, all-new Hyundai VENUE) |
| Material | Steel sheet |
| Vendor | Hyundai Motor Company (system supplier not disclosed) |
| Camera / lighting | Infrared (IR) sensors together with camera vision inspection |

| Reported result (quoted) | "an AI-based panel crack detection system shares that work. Using infrared (IR) sensors together with camera vision inspection, it automatically catches even fine cracks and surface defects" |
| Notes | Hyundai Motor Group Journal, Oct 23, 2026; plant inaugurated Oct 14, 2026. Previously "workers searching for cracks on panel surfaces by eye and by hand". Each panel gets a QR code for traceability (Korea Herald, Oct 15, 2026). No AI accuracy figures published; the plant's separate 3D-scan/CMM body audit is not part of this case. |
