The BOAhub: AI-Driven Quality Control System

Revolutionizing Hydraulic Hose Assembly: Introducing Our AI-Driven Quality Control System

In hydraulic systems, the integrity of hose assemblies is critical. BOA Hydraulics has long understood the complexities and potential hazards connected with hydraulic hose assembly. 

The lack of a standardized methodology for assuring proper hydraulic hose assembly creates considerable risks, including operational failures, environmental damage, and serious health and safety dangers. These problems stem from incorrectly built hoses, which can rupture under pressure, causing hydraulic oil spills, costly downtime, and, most importantly, jeopardizing lives.

Understanding the significance of these difficulties, our team has spent the last two years inventing a game-changing solution. We're delighted to unveil our ground-breaking product - an AI-powered quality control system that will raise the bar for hydraulic hose assembly.

Our AI system is designed to rigorously monitor and validate each essential step in the hose assembly process, resulting in exceptional precision and safety. This is how it works:

  • Length Marking Accuracy: The system ensures that the hose is marked at the correct length, reducing the possibility of mismatches that could jeopardize the assembly's integrity.
  • Fitting Insertion Check: Determines whether the fitting has been pressed onto the hose to the proper distance, which is critical for a solid connection.
  • Crimper Positioning Validation: The BOAhub verifies that the hose, with the fitting connected, is properly inserted into the crimper, which is critical to the hose assembly's durability and performance.
  • Final Vernier Inspection: Following assembly, the system performs a vernier check to determine that the finished product is within the permissible range, ensuring its dependability.

This technology is more than just fault detection; it provides real-time, interactive feedback and correction. If the system detects a potential problem at any stage, it notifies the operator, requiring either a repair or a conscious decision to proceed, considerably lowering the risk of assembly errors.

Watch how the BOAhub works

This technology is more than just a tool; it represents a paradigm leap in hydraulic hose assembly. By incorporating AI into the assembly process, we not only improve the hoses' quality and reliability but also considerably reduce the environmental impact and health and safety hazards connected with hose failures.

At BOA Hydraulics, we prioritize innovation, safety, and environmental responsibility. Our AI-powered quality control system demonstrates this dedication by guaranteeing that our clients receive products that satisfy the highest levels of safety and reliability. We believe this technology will set a new standard in the industry, and we are thrilled to be leading this transformative path.

As we complete the development of this ground-breaking solution, we invite our stakeholders, clients, and the broader industry to remain tuned for its formal debut.

We're not just making hoses; we're incorporating trust, safety, and sustainability into the core fabric of hydraulic systems.
