Code inspection and verification sound similar, but they address different needs. Confusing them can lead to buying the wrong solution. Here we clarify the difference and help you decide what your production really needs. What code inspection is Inspection checks that the code is present, readable and contains the...

An inspection system that rejects good products is almost as problematic as one that lets bad ones through. False rejects cause waste, rework and unnecessary stoppages. Reducing them is one of the most profitable levers for improving a line’s efficiency. What a false reject is and why it happens...

“How much does it cost?” is always the first question, and the honest answer is: it depends. But more important than the upfront cost is the return. Automating quality control with machine vision usually pays for itself sooner than many companies expect. Factors that influence the price Cost depends...

Choosing a machine vision system is a decision that shapes the quality and efficiency of your production for years. It isn’t just about buying a camera, but about getting the complete solution right. This guide helps you decide with clear criteria. Start by defining the problem Before looking at...

For years, sampling-based quality control was the industry standard. But in a market that tolerates no errors, checking only part of production is a hard risk to justify. Machine vision now makes it possible to inspect 100% of units inline, without stopping production. The limits of sampling-based control Sampling...

A modern visual inspection system can detect flaws that would go unnoticed by the human eye, and do so on every unit that passes down the line. These are the seven most common types of defect that machine vision identifies and rejects in real time. 1. Labelling and positioning...

Not every inspection problem is solved the same way. Rule-based machine vision has worked brilliantly for decades, but Deep Learning has opened the door to inspections that were once impossible to automate. Understanding the difference is key to choosing the right technology. What traditional machine vision is Rule-based vision...

Industrial machine vision has become one of the key technologies of modern manufacturing. It allows machines to “see”, interpret images and make quality decisions in milliseconds, without human intervention. In this guide we explain exactly what industrial machine vision is, what components it relies on and how it is...
