Visual Inspection AI

Build visual inspection AIaround your actual line

Scratches, chips, contamination, foreign matter, and presence checks. We design imaging, AI judgment, and deployment around your samples and defect criteria.

01 / Overview

First create imaging conditions the AI can rely on

Visual inspection depends on cameras, lenses, lighting, workpiece presentation, and defect criteria—not only on a model. We begin with real samples and validate the conditions that make relevant features consistently visible.

Common inspection challenges

01

Judgment varies by inspector

Subtle defects become subjective, increasing training and quality-control effort.

02

Defects vary in shape and position

Rule-based checks struggle when defects are not uniform.

03

Images are unstable

Reflection, shadows, color variation, and position shifts obscure the signal the AI needs.

02 / Applications

Example inspection targets

The right configuration depends on the workpiece, defect, and line. These are examples for initial assessment.

01

Scratches and chips

Judge line scratches, dents, molding chips, and related surface defects.

02

Contamination and foreign matter

Capture differences between normal surfaces and unwanted material.

03

Presence and assembly

Check missing parts, orientation, and assembly state.

04

Print and labels

Assess print loss, position, and label condition where imaging permits.

03 / Approach

What the PoC validates

Imaging feasibility

Compare lighting and angles to make defects consistently visible.

AI judgment feasibility

Use good and defective samples to compare results with actual criteria.

Operational feasibility

Define how results, retraining, logs, and equipment integration will work.

04 / Process

PoC and deployment process

We validate with real samples before making performance commitments or moving on site.

  1. 01

    Define inspection requirements

    Clarify the workpiece, defects, false rejects, and missed-defect priorities.

  2. 02

    Imaging validation

    Compare cameras, lenses, lighting, and workpiece position.

  3. 03

    AI judgment PoC

    Validate the model on sample images and review results together.

  4. 04

    Deployment and operation

    Design integration, logs, and retraining, then evaluate on site.

05 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can AI detect any defect?

It depends on the workpiece and how the defect appears. We first verify that the required features are visible in a stable image.

Is there a fixed number of samples required?

No. It depends on defect variety and variation. We begin with available good and defective samples and define what additional data is needed.

Can you integrate with existing equipment?

Yes. We review judgment signals, image storage, PLCs, and upstream-system requirements when designing the configuration.
