Pirelli CVA tire visibility control project won industrial innovation award

Recently, Pirelli won the 2016 Oscar Masi Industrial Innovation Award from the Italian Institute of Industrial Research in Rome. This award focuses on innovative processes or products that are conducive to the promotion of future intelligent production. The award ceremony was held at the National Research Council of Rome, Italy. This award-winning team of Pirelli engineers led by Gianni Mancini and Vincenzo Boffa has been working on the CVA tire visualization control project for four years.

This project is an automatic system for detecting and analyzing finished products, using artificial vision and automation technology. The visual management of product quality is the most professional and repetitive process in the industrial production process. This is also the reason why Pirelli engineers were inspired to develop this project.

Until today, the quality monitoring of tire products is still carried out manually. For the tires, each finished product needs to be carefully inspected by the workers both inside and outside to ensure that no visible flaws are present. In fact this is a mechanized inspection process. However, artificial quality monitoring has a series of drawbacks, including repeated operations, it is difficult to define problems, and it is difficult to keep up with the rhythm of industrialized production. To date, the “technical” that workers use to visually check the quality of tires is still the only guarantee of this process.

Thanks to the innovative CVA tire visual control project, Pirelli won the Oscar Masi award this time. The CVA tire visual control project uses artificial vision technology to automate the inspection process and replace existing artificial tire quality monitoring.

CVA Tire Visual Control This advanced system incorporates automated mechanisms and a higher resolution, faster response visual system. The computer system will analyze the large amount of data for each tire collected by the vision system through precise image algorithms to make judgments, and it is consistent with the entire automated production process.

CVA tire visualization controls can automatically identify new tire models or structural changes. His work mode is very flexible and undisturbed. He can deal with the diversity of products (such as winter tires and summer tires) and the expanding product line of the same series.

Pirelli also developed precise image algorithms for analyzing various defects. This algorithm is the basis of artificial vision and can detect flaws that may exist in various locations of the tire and make conclusions.

This project was born in the laboratory of Milan headquarters, the center of Pirelli's R&D kingdom, and also benefited from the research strengths of the partner universities: Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Bologna, Department of Automation and Information Technology, Politecnico di Torino. This proves once again that Pirelli has become an increasingly important place in Italian research.

Mr. Troncetti, Pirelli’s Vice President and CEO, expressed his thanks to the Italian Industrial Research Association and Prof. Renado Hugo for awarding the 2016 Oscar Masi Award to the Pirelli Group. The Pirelli CVA tire visual control project aims to explore solutions that go beyond the current manual quality control processes. Thanks to innovative artificial vision technology applications and advanced automation systems, as well as the tireless efforts of Pirelli engineers. The awards inspired Pirelli R&D personnel to continuously create more advanced solutions, and we will continue to cooperate with universities and research institutions. This will also promote the sense of innovation in the entire region and thus continue to develop.
