Computer vision for quality inspection on the production line

Camera-based defect detection, part counting and assembly checks, trained on images from your line and integrated with your PLC.

01The problem

Manual visual inspection is tiring, varies from shift to shift and lets defects reach the customer.

02How we solve it

Cameras on the line and models trained on images from your own plant to detect defects, count parts and check assembly, integrated with your PLC or MES and with a quality history.

03How it works

01Camera on the line02Model inspects03Acceptancecriteria04PLC/MES
  1. Camera on the line

    Cameras capture an image of every part at the inspection station.

  2. Model inspects

    A model trained on images from your plant detects defects, counts parts and checks assembly.

  3. Acceptance criteria

    Limits validated with your quality team decide what passes and what is rejected.

  4. PLC/MES

    The result goes to the PLC or MES, which rejects the part and logs the event.

The highlighted step is the check: anything that fails the rules goes back for review instead of moving on.

04What changes in practice

  • Consistent inspection. The same criteria on every shift, without fatigue.

  • Fewer defects at the customer. Out-of-spec parts are rejected and logged on the line.

  • A quality history. Images and results available for root-cause analysis.

05What you get

  • Feasibility study with real images
  • Trained and validated model
  • Edge system integrated with the line
  • Quality dashboard

06How the pilot works

Scope
One defect type at one inspection station
Timeline

What we measure

  • defects detected
  • false alarms
  • customer complaints

Metrics are agreed before we start. With the numbers in hand, you decide whether to move to production.

09Frequently asked questions

How much does an AI visual inspection system for a production line cost?

Every project is quoted after a free assessment, based on scope, volume and the systems involved. You get a fixed-price proposal in writing before any work starts.

How long does a visual inspection project take?

The pilot takes 6 to 12 weeks. Typical scope: one defect type at one inspection station.

How many images are needed?

It depends on the defect; the feasibility study measures that with real images before the project.

Do we have to stop the line to install it?

Usually not: image collection and testing happen while the line runs, and the PLC integration is done during a planned stop.
