Gigapixel Imaging
A coordinated multi-camera system captures fine surface features in the agreed test areas.
flashed Light >100A
Defined, reproducible lighting makes relevant defects visible, regardless of the operator or work shift.
AI Defect Detection
Deep learning models detect, locate and classify defects on complex surfaces.
Rule Based calculation
Conventional machine vision measures defect dimensions and evaluates them against the inspection logic of the relevant OEMs.
Production Ready
Designed for 24/7 operation, fast cycle times and integration into existing production lines.
Integrated technology stack
From photon
to decision.
Hardware, software and automation are developed as one system – for robust results under real production conditions.
