Found the Defect.
but
What’s Behind It?

Connect defect patterns with production conditions to focus quality investigations on

the factors that matter. AIxCause analyzes relationships between inspection results and

process data, helping teams understand what changed when defects appeared.

Detection Shows the Problem.
Not the Reason.

A defect record tells you what failed and when it happened. It rarely explains why.

Finding the cause may require teams to compare inspection results with:

  • Machine settings and Line speed
  • Temperature and humidity
  • Raw-material batches and Suppliers
  • Products and SKUs
  • Shifts and operators
  • Maintenance events

When this information sits across separate systems, investigations become slow, manual, and dependent on individual experience.

Connect the Context

AIxCause brings inspection results and relevant production data into the same analysis.

It looks for relationships between defect patterns and the conditions surrounding them, helping teams identify where to investigate next.

Instead of asking only, "Why did this defect happen?"; teams can ask more focused questions:

? Did the defect increase after a machine setting changed?
? Is it concentrated in one material batch?
? Does it appear more often above a certain line speed?
? Is the pattern linked to a specific supplier?
? Did the issue begin after maintenance?
? Does it occur under particular environmental conditions?
? Is it limited to one product, shift, or production period?

Find What Changed

AIxCause can analyze defect results against any
relevant data the manufacturer can provide.

Process Conditions

  • Machine parameters
  • Line speed
  • Pressure
  • Temperature
  • Humidity
  • Other process measurements
🗓

Production Context

  • Product and SKU
  • Batch and production run
  • Shift and operator
  • Line and location
  • Date and time
🧊

Material Information

  • Raw-material batch
  • Supplier
  • Material properties
  • Incoming inspection data

Equipment History

  • Maintenance events
  • Component changes
  • Calibration records
  • Operating-state changes

The available analysis depends on the quality, relevance, and consistency of the connected data.

AIxInsight and AIxCause support two connected stages of
quality intelligence.

AIxInsight

Monitors inspection results, defect logs, images, trends, alerts, operator review, and traceability.

IT HELPS TEAMS UNDERSTAND:

  • What happened?
  • Where did it happen?
  • How often is it happening?
  • Is the pattern changing?

AIxCause

Connects those results with production conditions and additional process data.

IT HELPS TEAMS INVESTIGATE:

  • What changed?
  • Which conditions are associated with the pattern?
  • Where should the investigation begin?
  • Did the relationship change after corrective action?

When Root-Cause Analysis Stalls

AIxCause is designed for situations where:

01

The same defect keeps returning

02

Teams cannot explain a change in defect frequency

03

Investigation data is spread across different systems

04

Too many process variables could be involved

05

The issue may be related to materials or suppliers

06

Machine settings change across production runs

07

Corrective actions are difficult to evaluate

08

Quality investigations rely heavily on manual comparison

09

Teams need evidence before changing the process

Start With the Data You Have

You do not need every possible production variable before beginning.

Start with the inspection records and available process data. AI-Innovate can assess which sources are relevant, how they can be connected, and whether the available data is sufficient for meaningful analysis.
