What is automated visual inspection?

Automated visual inspection uses cameras and software to check every product on a production line for defects, replacing manual or sampled checks with continuous measurement. ISEE Vision systems inspect 100% of the line in real time and on the device, at line speeds up to 250 m/min and with precision down to 6 µm depending on the optics.

Surface defects, presence–absence, dimension, angle, shape, fill level and color are checked against the defined acceptance criterion, and every deviation beyond it is logged and reported.

Machine vision vs AI anomaly detection

Machine vision is the general name for camera-based industrial inspection; within it, ISEE Vision uses reference-based AI anomaly detection. A defect-free reference product that meets the acceptance criteria is taught first, and every product on the line is then compared with that reference.

Regions that deviate from the reference are marked on an anomaly heatmap and converted into a numerical confidence score. The acceptance threshold and sensitivity are set separately for each product type, and the original image, heatmap and score are stored together.

What a vision inspection system includes (camera, lighting, encoder, PLC)

An ISEE Vision inspection station combines the camera, controlled lighting and edge processing in one unit, added to the existing line as an independent station without redesigning production.

• Camera and controlled lighting: stable images independent of ambient light
• Edge (on-device) processing: low latency without cloud dependency
• Encoder connection: records the defect position by the meter
• PLC and relay outputs: line stop, siren, light alert and operator notification
• Logging and reporting: time-stamped visual evidence and periodic reports

What is automated quality control?

Automated quality control means every product on the line is checked against the acceptance criterion by cameras and software, continuously, instead of by eye or by sampling. ISEE Vision runs that check on the device, across 100% of the line and in real time, on lines running up to 250 m/min without slowing them down.

When a defect is found, the system does more than raise an alert: it records the defect with a timestamp and meterage, stops the line through a PLC or relay where required, and includes it in periodic reports. Quality data becomes a measured record rather than an end-of-shift estimate.

How does an automated inspection system work?

An automated inspection system first learns a defect-free reference product, then compares every product passing on the line with that reference and scores the deviations. An ISEE Vision station does this in four steps: reference teaching, in-line imaging under controlled lighting, comparison with a heatmap and confidence score, and action when the threshold is exceeded.

The station is added to the existing line as an independent unit, without redesigning production. The encoder connection records each defect's position by the meter, and the PLC and relay outputs work with the automation already in place.
