title: "How to inspect faucets and plumbing fixtures with computer vision"
description: "A camera station after plating or assembly looks at each faucet, shower head or valve trim and flags scratches, pits, dull or uneven plating, blisters, missing aerators or handles, crooked logos and parts fitted the wrong way for a person to check. Each flag is saved with a photo and the line and batch, so repeat problems point back to a plating tank, polisher or assembly station. A quality lead decides every pass or rework, and the usual leak, flow and finish tests stay in place."

# How can a faucet or fixture maker use computer vision to inspect finished pieces?
A camera station after plating or assembly looks at each faucet, shower head or valve trim and flags scratches, pits, dull or uneven plating, blisters, missing aerators or handles, crooked logos and parts fitted the wrong way for a person to check. Each flag is saved with a photo and the line and batch, so repeat problems point back to a plating tank, polisher or assembly station. A quality lead decides every pass or rework, and the usual leak, flow and finish tests stay in place.
## What this means in practice
- A camera with soft, even light takes pictures of each faucet, shower head, spout or handle after polishing, plating or final assembly, often while it turns on a small table.
- The model is trained on the clients own models and finishes. It flags scratches, pits, dull or uneven plating, blisters or peeling, color that does not match the finish, missing aerators, caps or handles, crooked logos, and parts fitted the wrong way.
- Each flag is saved with a photo, the model, the batch and the time, so the team can see if one plating tank, polisher or assembly station keeps causing the same problem.
- A quality lead checks every flagged piece and decides whether it ships, gets reworked or is pulled. The camera points at the product, not at workers, and any people caught in view are blurred.
- Start with one line and one model, compare the camera flags with what the inspectors find for a few weeks, and keep the existing leak, flow, finish and code tests in place.
## How Lid Vizion approaches it
