John Deere, QA at your scale doesn't have to leave a trail of defects

You recently had one major call back (zTracks), in January, one FTC lawsuit, and another major call back (1032E, 1025R, 2025R) in 2024, September.

Matroid provides end-to-end oversight with AI-based QA detection to scale your current defect detection process across all your cameras, employee processes, and we will build a free detector on one of your toughest defects.

Let's discuss your defects (30 minute meeting)

We've automated QA checks for enterprises at your production scale

sustainability

Tangible result case study

Promote greener manufacturing by optimizing resource consumption and minimizing waste, aligning operations with eco-friendly practices.

Two major call-backs due to manual spot checks?

Two major call backs in the last 12 months, mostly due to human based processes relying on manual spot checks. it's not their fault, it was just a matter of time until an error occurred after 500+ checks.

39,000 ZTrack ZTR recalls in Jan, 2025

The affected models-Z720E,Z730M,Z740R, and Z760R-were found to have a defective voltage regulator that could fail during use or storage, leading to engine overheating and posing fire and burn hazards.

However, we understand that this issue primarily stemmed from Kawasaki, and not John Deere.

Steel Crack Defect Detection with Matroid

147,000 recalls on the 1023E, 1025R, 2025R models in Sep, 2024

These compact utility tractors were recalled due to brake linkage components being loose, thus, disconnecting during operation.

Manual inspections relied heavily on visual spot-checks, which couldn't consistently identify subtle torque discrepancies or alignment shifts in the linkage assembly.

Batch inspection vs. 100% inspections

Detects defects across your entire production line

Matroid learns your ideal scenarios, from screwing in bolts to plane-sized shell connection --> these scenarios are able to be scaled across every camera.

Allowing scalable product checks, not just in 20:1 batches.

Instantly flags defects in real-time

Process-based conclusions fast, stop defects further.

Matroid can provide regular cameras with Matroid built-in

“Perfect scenario” modelling

AI models the perfect scenario, then looks for it in every check

Based on past defect data from your current machine vision cameras, Matroid’s AI builds an ideal visual standard for each component and process.

Thus, flagging subtle deviations from these ideal scenarios—not just defects it was rigidly prompted to find.

Detect human-led workflow issues across all employees

Absolute oversight

You know what’s happening, across the entire plant.

Scalable, micro-level detection from a one-time integration across all your existing cameras, add new cameras without machine vision prompting.

Complete oversight, across all angles, no manual effort.

Existing machine vision data + intelligent vision

Instant defect notifications, assign a human to fix it

STEP 1

Install Matroid’s software once

All your existing cameras connect with Matroid at once, whether they’re normal cameras, or machine vision, within minutes.   Alternatively, we provide machine vision cameras for all scenarios.

STEP 2

If you can circle it, you can program Matroid

Easily circle all defects present, or, plug your existing machine vision data into Matroid.

STEP 3

Matroid models perfect scenarios on components

What this means: It doesn’t *just* detect defects, it detects the process itself, how far your bolts are screwed in, if something wasn’t drilled enough. If it finds a mistake in the process --> it is flagged as a defect.

STEP 4

Achieve complete oversight on defects.

Leadership has a single dashboard to oversee all defects, down to what’s common, risk level, priority. Making it easy for QA engineers to quickly create processes around active, re-occurring defects across the entire production line.

End-to-End

Install
Matroid's Software once

From creation to deployment, Matroid’s software allows you to integrate computer vision into your business. With annotation tools and various deployment modes, you and your team can manage and improve your computer vision solution.

Integration

Test your detectors to ensure performance

Integrate Matroid into your existing tools and cameras. Trigger real-time alerts and feedback for your machines, systems, or operators. Pass data analytics to your new or existing production systems so you can monitor performance.

Speed

Deployed in minutes, not months

Our no-code platform, allows your team to become computer vision experts and deploy detectors into your existing infrastructure in minutes, rather than months.

Environment

In the cloud, on premises or edge deployments

Deploy in the cloud for quick setup and access, with no hardware required. Leverage on premises deployments so you can keep your data private and secure with no internet required, or keep everything local and deploy on edge devices.
