Case: Reuse of IT equipment through automated quality assessment
Aixia AB is a provider of AI solutions, IT infrastructure and expertise, with customers in a variety of industries. The company strives to unite sustainability and technology by offering innovative IT solutions.
The challenge that needed to be solved
The challenge was to create a sustainable way to reuse IT equipment through automated quality assessment, something that has previously been costly and difficult to automate.
Description of the solution and technology used
Aixia developed an automated quality system that uses AI and camera technology to consistently grade laptops. This has enabled 3StepIT, a circular economy company, to handle large volumes of used computers while maintaining quality.
Results and success factors
The automated assessment enables more devices to be handled while maintaining quality. The technology has revolutionised the company's management of reuse.
Impact of innovation on industry and society
AI models, based on image analysis, offer great potential for automated quality assessments in real time, reducing the need for human expertise at every stage. This can create major efficiencies in industry.
Future prospects and opportunities for further development
Aixia is working with several industrial companies to apply AI-driven quality control also in other contexts, such as preventive maintenance.
Challenges during the development process and lessons learnt
The challenge was to capture and assess images in an accurate and consistent way, which required extensive knowledge in lighting and image processing.
