## Summary

Babynov, a Materne group company specialising in infant cereals, has modernised quality control of its metal tins at its Courmelles site (Aisne), in partnership with Psycle Research, a French AI machine vision company. The system combines cameras and machine learning algorithms that detect defects (dents, deformations, ovalisation) and automatically eject non-compliant tins without interrupting production. According to Psycle Research, the performance rate reaches 99.97%. The company, which had no prior experience of AI machine vision, had to go through a co-development phase with the supplier. Beyond quality control, Babynov has seen fewer line stoppages and is now considering automating other inspection stations on its production lines.
