Integrated Inspection of QoM, QoP, and QoS for AOI Industries in Metaverses

Abstract

Briefing: With the rapid development of information technologies such as digital twin, extended reality, and blockchain, the hype around "metaverse" is increasing at astronomical speed. However, much attention has been paid to its entertainment and social functions. Considering the openness and interoperability of metaverses, the market of quality inspection promises explosive growth. In this paper, taking advantage of metaverses, we first propose the concept of Automated Quality Inspection (AutoQI), which performs integrated inspection covering the entire manufacturing process, including Quality of Materials, Quality of Manufacturing (QoM), Quality of Products, Quality of Processes (QoP), Quality of Systems, and Quality of Services (QoS). Based on the scenarios engineering theory, we discuss how to perform interactions between metaverses and the physical world for virtual design instruction and physical validation feedback. Then we introduce a bottomup inspection device development workflow with productivity tools offered by metaverses, making development more effective and efficient than ever. As the core of quality inspection, we propose Quality Transformers to complete detection task, while federated learning is integrated to regulate data sharing. In summary, we point out the development directions of quality inspection under metaverse tide.

Multi-Modal Synthetic Data Fusion and Analysis, Virtual Immersive and Cognitive Neuro-Engineering Technologies, and Bio-inspired Computational Intelligence and Deep Learning Algorithms in the Industrial Metaverse

“…Virtual reality-based immersive experiences can be attained through intelligent connectivity infrastructures, smart environment modeling and contextual data monitoring tools, and remote sensing and visual perception algorithms. 3D design environments and in the industrial metaverse (Gattullo et al, 2022;Han et al, 2023;Wang et al, 2022) necessitate virtual modeling and simulation tools, virtual production processes and systems, multi-modal synthetic data fusion and analysis, and visual, optical, and acoustic sensors. 3D virtual environment mapping and language modeling tools, geolocation data processing and computer vision algorithms, and cognitive computing and remote sensing systems further the blockchain-based virtual economy.…”

Enhancing supply chain resilience and realizing green sustainable development through the virtual environment of the metaverse

“…The metaverse represents a three-dimensional (3D) virtual environment created through augmented reality (AR), lifelogging, mirror worlds, virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain technology, enabling seamless human communication and interaction in the virtual world (Bolger, 2021). Previous studies have found that in addition to employing information safety technologies like blockchain to reduce the risk of information and knowledge leakage (Hung & Cheng, 2013;Jraisat et al, 2022;Mentzas et al, 2006;Wang et al, 2022), the metaverse facilitates increased interaction and physical contact between participants when sharing green knowledge. Consequently, it overcomes the communication distance issue (Huang & Chen, 2022) and effectively mitigates the perceived risks associated with cooperation (Queiroz et al, 2023).…”

Integrated Inspection on PCB Manufacturing in Cyber–Physical–Social Systems

“…However, this work requires professional skills and consistent judgment, which cannot be conducted nicely and quickly enough at present. Therefore, in this article, we propose an artificial systems, computational experiments, and parallel execution (ACP)based integrated inspection [2], [3], [4] method in cyberphysical-social spaces. In this inspection system, rather than simply performing modeling, analysis, and control, we perform descriptive intelligence to construct the whole PCB production process with limited multimodal information, and iteratively optimize the models through physical and cyber world interactions.…”
