Challenge

Metaforge produces thousands of precision fasteners daily — bolts, nuts, screws, and custom-engineered components. Manual inspection couldn't keep pace with production speed, and tracking work-in-progress across stamping, threading, heat treatment, and coating stages relied on paper logs and barcode scanning that introduced delays and errors.

Solution

Raru Runtime was deployed on the inspection line to perform real-time visual quality checks. The model identifies dimensional deviations, surface cracks, plating defects, and thread anomalies — flagging rejects before they reach packaging.

Binbin tracks WIP movement across production stages using Metaforge's existing camera setup. No RFID tags or barcode scanners needed — the system recognizes part bins, counts inventory at each station, and feeds data directly into their MES.

Results

• Fastener defect escape rate dropped significantly within the first month
• Real-time production visibility across all stages — from raw material to finished goods
• Operators spend less time on manual logging, more time on process optimization
