Abstract
A method includes obtaining pre-weld image data of the electric motor stator from one or more image sensors; performing a welding process in response to obtaining the pre-weld image data, obtaining post-weld image data of the electric motor stator from the one or more image sensors in response to performing the welding process, obtaining epoxy image data of the electric motor stator from the one or more image sensors in response to obtaining the post-weld image data, performing a difference-based image processing routine based on the post-weld image data and the epoxy image data to generate a digital twin of the electric motor stator, and determining one or more epoxy characteristics of the electric motor stator based on the digital twin.
