Industrial machine vision that prevents defects, not just counts them.

Industrial machine vision inspection uses cameras, lighting, and software to automatically verify parts on a production line - checking presence, orientation, dimensions, codes, and surface quality - and make a pass/fail decision within the station cycle. FlexIPS combines rule-based vision and AI so one platform handles everything from simple presence checks to unpredictable surface defects.

On validated programs FlexIPS consistently reaches around 99.9% detection accuracy, well above typical human visual inspection which fatigues and drifts over a shift. Accuracy depends on stable lighting and a representative training set, which is why we tune confidence thresholds against your real parts during commissioning rather than quoting a number in the abstract.

Yes. Hardware is installed in parallel with production - cameras and lights go up during breaks or shift changes with no line stoppage. We then capture images of 10-15 running parts remotely and build the inspection program while standard production continues, so a station is typically live in one to two hours.

A typical inspection cycle is under 100ms per part, with inference often below 10ms, so the vision step keeps pace with the operator and never becomes the bottleneck even on fast automated lines. Cycle time scales with part count and resolution, and we size the controller for your target takt time.

Common checks include part presence and absence, orientation and variant, dimensional measurement (width, gap, hole placement), 1D/2D barcode and DataMatrix reading, OCR and print verification, and AI anomaly detection for unpredictable defects like scratches, stains, dents, and coating voids. Each is configured per region of interest and verified across continuous frames until the part passes.

Yes. FlexIPS speaks the language of the factory floor: 24V digital I/O and relays for PLC handshakes and stack lights, TCP/IP sockets and RS232/485 for scanners and printers, and native OPC UA, MQTT, and REST plus direct SQL/Oracle writes for MES and traceability systems - so results flow straight into your existing stack without middleware.

From delivery to full production is usually a matter of days, not weeks. The pre-staged hardware kit arrives network-ready, your team mounts it without stopping the line, and we build and tune the program remotely - typically reaching serial production within one to two hours of commissioning, with remote monitoring of the first live batch.

The station returns a FAIL decision and can hold the part, route it to rework, or escalate to a supervisor based on rules you define. The failed region is highlighted on the captured image in FlexCheck so the operator sees exactly what to fix, and the full decision, images, serial, and operator are logged for traceability and yield analysis.
