Key enhancements in Kitov AI 2.9 include:
- Kitov AI Trainer Updated to Newest AI Model: Staying at the cutting edge of artificial intelligence, Kitov AI 2.9 integrates the latest advancements in AI models into its AI Trainer. This update has been trained on a significant amount of new real-world defects, ensuring superior defect detection, enhanced learning capabilities and even greater accuracy in identifying anomalies on complex parts. By future-proofing your AI investment, it guarantees that you and your customers benefit from the newest AI innovations on an ongoing basis.
- Fanuc Robot Connectivity – Premier Robot Partner Integration: This highly anticipated feature establishes Kitov AI as a premier partner with Fanuc, offering seamless and robust integration with Fanuc robots. Manufacturers can now leverage the full power of Kitov AI's inspection capabilities directly within their Fanuc robotic cells, simplifying deployment and optimizing performance.
- All-New Multi-Sensor System: Integrating Enhanced Quality Inspection and Measurement in One: Kitov AI 2.9 introduces a sophisticated multi-sensor workflow that seamlessly integrates a second inspection tool—for deeper evaluation of dimensions, features, or surface roughness, for example, enabling true AI-driven multi-sensor measurements. By combining data from various sensors, this innovation delivers comprehensive inspections and a complete, accurate assessment of product quality.
- AI-Powered Dynamic Measurement of Defects: In an industry first, stop defects in their tracks by detecting them and dynamically building and executing a second-tool robotic measuring plan. This enables in-depth analysis of discovered defects for 100% detection and measurement, including depth, surface roughness and high-resolution point clouds.
- AI Robot Path Optimization for Difficult Surfaces (Non-Planar or Not Flat): Adjust Coverage for Quality or Efficiency: Addressing the challenges of inspecting intricate geometries, this new optimization allows users to precisely adjust inspection coverage for non-planar surfaces. Manufacturers can now prioritize either exhaustive quality assurance or maximized inspection efficiency based on their specific needs.
- Refreshed User Interface – Easier to Use: User experience is paramount, and Kitov AI 2.9 features a completely refreshed user interface. Designed for intuitive navigation and streamlined workflows, the new UI is lighter and more efficient, which makes it easier than ever for operators to set up, manage, and analyze inspection tasks.
- Digital Twin with QIF: Embracing the power of digital transformation, Kitov AI 2.9 now supports Quality Information Framework (QIF) for digital twin initiatives. This enables seamless exchange of inspection data within a digital twin environment, fostering advanced analytics, model embedded results and measuring plans for MBD and Industry 5.0 PLM.
- CAD-2-Scan - SolidWorks CAD Plugin – Seamless Integration of Kitov AI and SolidWorks: To further enhance design-to-inspection workflows, Kitov AI 2.9 includes a dedicated SolidWorks CAD Plugin. This allows for seamless integration between Kitov AI's inspection planning and SolidWorks design files, drastically reducing setup time and improving accuracy. And more CAD plugins are planned for future versions.
Kitov AI 2.9 is available now to all existing customers for pre-release purchase, as always free to all with an active maintenance plan and will be available to new customers in August.
