Visual Inspection & Quality
Use machine vision, drones and robots to find defects and verify production quality.
Questions to answer before choosing
Use these three questions to define the job before comparing products.
- Which defect classes matter and how many labeled examples are available?
- What false-reject and missed-defect rates can the process tolerate?
- Must results be traceable to a batch, serial number or production station?
When not to automate yet
Consider whether improving the current workflow would meet your needs first.
- Defect classes that are named, agreed and illustrated with examples
- Enough labelled history to test against real parts, not demos
- Results that can be traced back to a batch, station or serial number
- Missed-defect and false-reject tolerance separately — they cost different things
- How the system is re-validated after a lens, light or material change
- Who reviews a part the system rejected
- A replacement for a written defect standard
- A system that absorbs a new defect class it has never seen
- A reason to skip sampling checks after go-live
Three ways to solve the same problem
Choose the lowest layer that reliably removes the bottleneck.
Process first
Standardize the workflow, remove unnecessary steps and measure the bottleneck before buying technology.
Software automation
Use workflows, RPA or AI agents when the work is digital and the inputs and exceptions can be defined.
Physical robot
Use an arm, AMR, drone or humanoid when movement in the real world is the constraint to remove.
