Vision-Inspection System for Residue Monitoring of Ready-Mixed Concrete Trucks

الملخص EN

The objective of this study is to propose a vision-inspection system that improves the quality management for ready-mixed concrete (RMC).

The proposed system can serve as an alternative to the current visual inspection method for the detection of residues in agitator drum of RMC truck.

To propose the system, concept development and the system-level design should be executed.

The design considerations of the system are derived from the hardware properties of RMC truck and the conditions of RMC factory, and then 6 major components of the system are selected in the stage of system level design.

The prototype of system was applied to a real RMC plant and tested for verification of its utility and efficiency.

It is expected that the proposed system can be employed as a practical means to increase the efficiency of quality management for RMC.
