Abstract

A novel framework is presented, which simplifies the integration of machine learning into systems for industrial inspection and testing. In contrast to most approaches utilizing a centralized setup, the proposed work follows an edge-computing paradigm. The scope is not limited to inspection tasks but includes all requirements connected to such tasks. The support for continual and distributed learning, as well as distributed accumulation of training data, is a crucial feature of the proposed system. An integrated user rights management allows for the collaboration of multiple people with different background of expertise and tasks on the same machine learning models. Through platform-independent design and the use of a progressive web app as a user-interface, this framework supports the deployment in heterogeneous systems. Separation of concerns and clean object-oriented design makes the framework highly extensible and adaptable to other domains.
