The Challenge

PrecisionWorks manufactured high-tolerance components for automotive and aerospace clients. Their manual quality inspection process was catching only 94.2% of defects, leading to 8 product recalls per year costing an average of £110K each. Unplanned equipment downtime was running at 340 hours per year, disrupting production schedules and customer commitments.

Our Solution

We deployed a dual agentic AI system: computer vision agents on production lines performing real-time defect detection with sub-millimetre accuracy, and predictive maintenance agents analysing vibration, temperature, and performance data from equipment sensors to predict failures 2-3 weeks in advance. Both systems integrate with their existing MES and generate actionable alerts for floor supervisors.

Detailed Results

Defect Detection: 99.7%
Up from 94.2% with manual inspection
Annual Savings: £890K
Recall costs and downtime savings combined
Recalls Reduced: 75%
From 8 per year to 2 per year
Downtime Reduction: 45%
Unplanned downtime from 340 to 187 hours/year

In precision engineering, quality isn't optional — it's everything. ConvertToAI's system catches defects our best inspectors miss, and the predictive maintenance has virtually eliminated surprise breakdowns. Our clients have noticed the improvement.
