Tuowei Technology Unveils AI Tire Quality Inspection System, Pioneering New Breakthroughs in Integrated Domestic Software and Hardware Solutions

On March 19, 2026, the Huawei China Partner Conference commenced in Shenzhen, showcasing a significant product from Tuowei Information: the Tire X-ray Defect AI Quality Inspection System. As a leading provider of domestic integrated intelligent products and services in China, Tuowei Information aims to assist the tire industry in advancing towards a new stage of high-quality and intelligent development with this latest innovation in industrial intelligent manufacturing.

Tire manufacturing is a classic process-oriented industry, and X-ray inspection is a crucial step for quality control of the tire’s internal structure. Traditionally reliant on manual visual inspection, this method presents several challenges, including high subjectivity, inconsistent standards, high defect omission rates, inefficient processes, and data silos. A single production line can produce 2,500 to 3,000 tires per day, with each X-ray image requiring 20 to 30 seconds for inspection. Fatigue among inspectors can lead to a 3% to 8% increase in missed detection of minor defects, and training a qualified inspector can take 3 to 6 months, while expert-level talent may take 3 to 5 years to develop. In response to these challenges, Tuowei Information has leveraged Huawei’s Ascend AI hardware and software platform, combined with proprietary algorithms and industry experience, to introduce the Tire X-ray Defect AI Quality Inspection System. This system aims to reconstruct the tire quality inspection process using AI technology, thereby enhancing quality across the tire production line.

This product is centered around Tuowei Information’s Zhaohan SA300 intelligent edge integrated machine, which is powered by the Huawei Kunpeng 920 processor and Ascend AI acceleration card, offering exceptional computing performance and adaptability to diverse environments. The system supports full-stack private deployment, ensuring that data remains within the factory and meets high standards for data security and privacy protection. On the algorithmic front, the system integrates advanced technologies such as a mesh defect search framework, CV vision models, and multi-scale fine recognition models, enabling efficient identification of various defect types, including internal bubbles, cord breaks, foreign objects, and impurities, with an overall detection accuracy exceeding 99%. It covers over 95% of common defect types. Additionally, the system features “learn while using” capabilities, allowing continuous optimization of the model during actual production to enhance detection accuracy and adaptability.

The Tire X-ray Defect AI Quality Inspection System not only replaces manual inspections but also implements intelligent features for automatic defect identification, real-time alerts, data statistical analysis, and process feedback loops. The system can integrate with factory MES systems, enabling precise tracing of defect origins and assisting companies in achieving meticulous control over production processes and quality management. In a recent application at a top 50 global tire manufacturing company in Shandong, the system’s implementation led to “instant inspection” of X-ray images, significantly surpassing manual efficiency. The automation rate for defect logging increased by 30%, and after adjusting processes for a specific defect type, the defect rate was reduced by 50%, preventing financial losses exceeding one million yuan annually due to inferior defects entering the market.

Starting with tire X-ray inspection, this industrial intelligent quality inspection innovation is expected to gradually expand into more visual inspection scenarios within various manufacturing sectors. As a dual-field partner of Huawei’s “Ascend Intelligent Manufacturing” and an early strategic collaborator of the Pangu large model, Tuowei Information continues to deepen its collaborative innovations with Huawei in AI, large models, and domestic computing power, supporting China’s manufacturing industry in its transformation from traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing.
