Cloud-based multi-camera quality assurance lifecycle architecture

A computer-implemented method for providing quality assurance comprising:

• receiving data comprising a feed of images of a plurality of objects passing in front of each of a plurality of inspection camera modules forming part of each of a plurality of stations, the stations together forming part of a quality assurance inspection system and each comprising a respective production line controller (PLC) generating identifiers for the images, the objects when combined or assembled, forming a product;
• separately analyzing the received data from each inspection camera module using at least one image analysis inspection tool comprising an ensemble of different machine learning models;
• transmitting the images along with results from the inspection camera modules and the identifiers to a cloud-based server to correlate results from the analyzing for each inspection camera module on an product-by-product basis for all of the objects which, when combined or assembled, form the corresponding product, the correlating using the generated identifiers to group all images of objects forming part of a particular product captured by the plurality of inspection camera modules;
• and
• providing access to the correlated results to a consuming application or process.

A system comprising:

• at least one data processor;
• and
• memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one data processor, result in operations comprising:
• receiving data comprising a feed of images of a plurality of objects passing in front of each of a plurality of inspection camera modules forming part of each of a plurality of stations, the stations together forming part of a quality assurance inspection system and each comprising a respective production line controller (PLC) generating identifiers for the images, the objects when combined or assembled, forming a product;
• separately analyzing the received data from each inspection camera module using at least one image analysis inspection tool comprising an ensemble of different machine learning models;
• transmitting the images along with results from the inspection camera modules and the identifiers to a cloud-based server to correlate results from the analyzing for each inspection camera module on an product-by-product basis for all of the objects which, when combined or assembled, form the corresponding product, the correlating using the generated identifiers to group all images of objects forming part of a particular product captured by the plurality of inspection camera modules;
