**ARGUS — Autonomous Continuous Inspection AI for Industrial Manufacturing** ARGUS is an AI-powered, continuous inspection platform designed for **Engineer-to-Order (ETO) and high-mix, low-volume manufacturing**, where every piece of equipment is uniquely engineered to customer specifications. Traditional inspection systems struggle with these environments because there are no standardized product baselines or large defect-training datasets. Quality inspections are often manual, fragmented, and performed late in manufacturing, making defects expensive to rectify. **ARGUS changes inspection from a final-stage activity into a continuous, intelligent process throughout manufacturing.** The platform combines camera streams, photographs, laser point clouds, CAD models, customer work orders, and engineering standards to inspect equipment against its unique design and acceptance criteria. Powered by **Meta's SAM 3.1, Muse Spark, and Muse Wonder**, ARGUS identifies and tracks components, evaluates visual evidence against applicable inspection rules, and reviews potential non-conformances. Deterministic geometric analysis compares laser scans against CAD, while a rule-based decision engine produces explainable findings. ARGUS provides live inspection results, evidence traceability, and comprehensive PDF inspection dossiers for human quality-engineer review. Starting with a sample five-ton industrial valve, ARGUS demonstrates a framework applicable across **oil and gas, power generation, aerospace, defence, shipbuilding, and other complex equipment manufacturing industries**. **Our vision is to make every custom-built industrial asset continuously inspectable—catching defects earlier, reducing costly rework, and improving manufacturing quality and traceability.** Test it out live: ARGUS INSPECTION AI - https://argus-api-851874705049.us-central1.run.app/ ARGUS DATA SIMULATOR - https://argus-simulator-851874705049.us-central1.run.app/ GitHub Repos: ARGUS - https://github.com/boopalanjayaraman/argus ARGUS SIMULATOR - https://github.com/boopalanjayaraman/argus_simulation
