Sistemas De Inspección (Tuneles) Por Visión Artificial Para Ford Motor Company
SISTEMAS DE INSPECCIÓN (TUNELES) POR VISIÓN ARTIFICIAL PARA FORD MOTOR COMPANY La actividad de túneles de inspección data del año 2000, fecha en que se inicia la investigación en algoritmos de detección de defectos en carrocerías de automóviles. Durante los años 2001 y 2002, se empiezan a elaborar propuesta de implantación en la Factoría FORD de Almussafes, dirigidas por el Profesor Tornero y con subvención del IMPIVA. Durante las anualidades 2003 y 2004, la Empresa FORD España realizó 3 contratos de I+D con la Universidad y posteriormente se participó a través de FORD en 2 Proyectos de I+D de PROFIT (2001 y 2003) dentro del Programa Nacional de Automoción, además de optar a 2 convocatorias del V Programa Marco de la Unión Europea (Growth Programme 2000 y 2001) no obtenidos por falta de socios transnacionales. Posteriormente en el 2006 se creó una empresa de base tecnológica, BALMART, al amparo del PROGRAMA NOEMI- GESTA 2006 de la Generalitat Valenciana. Finalmente, y consecuencia de todo lo anterior, en 2008, se decide implantar un prototipo industrial, que estuvo en fase de validación durante casi 2 años en la Factoría FORD de Almussafes, llegando a inspeccionar hasta 1.700 coches/día, uno de los momentos de mayor producción de dicha Factoría. Además, se recibieron fondos PECEV- IMPIVA Desarrollo de Mercados 2009 y 2010, para la difusión de la tecnología. El éxito del prototipo trajo la implantación, en una primera fase, de 14 sistemas de inspección, estos ya industriales, en otras factorías de FORD, de ellos 4 en Europa: 1 en Genk, Bélgica en 2011; 1 en Almussafes y 1 en Cologneen en 2013; y 1 en Saarlouis en 2014.
