Catch every defect, every time
Save time and money, avoiding customer complaints and expensive rework. Reliably detects subtle surface defects, complex assembly errors, and even irregularities in consumer goods like chocolate bars. The no-code, hardware-agnostic design makes it easy to use, while advanced computer vision models ensure performance even under tough conditions.
Hardware Agnostic
Move beyond rule-based, high-maintenance systems, and automate visual inspection on any camera.
Plug and Play
Set up inspection jobs within minutes through a no-code interface with just 25-50 defect-free images.
Immediate Value
Our hardware-agnostic software integrates seamlessly into your factory infrastructure. Unlock productivity gains from day one.
CAPABILITIES
Catch defects at their source.
Hardware-Agnostic Setup
The Inspector module seamlessly integrates with your factory’s image acquisition setup and is compatible with any camera connected to a computer. The software supports applications both on the edge and in the cloud. Manufacturers using the Inspector software have been able to automate visual inspections within the first day of operation.
- Supports all types of industrial cameras, including both, color and grayscale.
- Plug-and-play compatibility with the widespread GenICam standard for quick setup.
- Supports multi-camera setups and a wide range of resolutions to meet your specific inspection needs.
Unified Inspection Interface
The Inspector module provides one interface, accessible from anywhere inside your factory, to create, edit, run, and monitor inspection jobs. While conventional inspection systems often require thousands of images or extensive manual configuration, the Inspector software only needs 25-50 training images of defect-free products to reliably detect any type of defect. This ensures rapid time-to-value.
- Customizable inspection types for different use cases.
- Built-in OCR along with data matrix and QR code reading capabilities.
- Area-masking feature for high-precision inspections.
High-Precision Defect Detection
The Inspector module can detect assembly errors (e.g., misplacements, wrong orientations, missing components), surface defects (e.g., scratches, cracks, dents, blemishes), and other irregularities in product quality (e.g., deformations). It consistently exceeds industrial benchmarks, and demonstrates exceptional robustness in dynamic settings (e.g., varying lighting conditions). The software is engineered for ongoing improvement through a feedback mechanism, allowing the AI to fine-tune its detection accuracy based on real-world performance.
- Robust performance in challenging environmental conditions.
- Designed for continuous learning and adaptability.
- Consistently outperforms industry benchmarks in efficiency and accuracy.
Flexible Deployment Options
The Inspector module supports both applications on workstations and fully automated lines. It offers a simple and effective API for custom system integration when needed. Users can craft custom workflows for vision jobs and seamlessly integrate with other inspection routines.
- Versatile application in fully automated or operator-computer settings.
- Effective API for custom system integration.
- Custom workflows for vision jobs.
Optional Factory Frontend
The Inspector module can be expanded with the EthonAI Factory Frontend that adds decision support right at your inspection stations. This feature assists with image acquisition, offers defect visualizations to operators, and allows reporting misclassifications. This builds confidence in the AI model and enables fine-tuning based on shopfloor feedback. Integrating the Frontend can reduce setup times to just a few hours, and offers easy compatibility with other hardware.
- Defect visualizations for increased confidence and easier rework.
- Plug-and-play hardware integration on the shop floor.
- Feedback loop for ongoing AI model improvement.
