Cable · Hose · Pipe

100% real-time surface quality control on the production line.

An AI-based visual inspection system by Çözüm Makina (ISEE Vision) for cables, hoses, pipes, and similar continuously produced cylindrical products — catching surface defects in real time, on the device, with no cloud dependency.

Every material, every defect

One system inspects the full surface of cables, hoses, and pipes — flagging tears, scratches, dents, and foreign matter in real time, whatever the material or color.

AI surface inspection flagging defects across green, copper, blue, white PVC, red, and orange cables and pipes
Two models, one platform

Both models share the same software, management, and action stack and differ only in the diameter range they cover. Each auto-optimizes to a new product in about 5 minutes and remembers the learned surface profile by product code.

Standard Diameter Series

Auto-configure diameter range
10 mm – 100 mm
Example applications

Power/energy cable, thick hose, plastic pipe

Thin Diameter Series

Auto-configure diameter range
1 mm – 40 mm
Example applications

Thin cable, micro hose, thin tube

Core capabilities

Standard on both models.

360° surface control

A multi-camera arrangement images the full circumference simultaneously, leaving no blind spot on the surface.

Live viewing

The production line and product surface are monitored in real time from the operator screen.

Line tracking

Production flow is followed continuously and without interruption — every meter is inspected.

Real-time detection

Scratches, coating tears, bubbles, stains, foreign matter, and diameter changes are caught instantly.

Time-stamped records

Every detected defect is logged automatically with an image, timestamp, and approximate meterage tag.

Edge processing

Images are processed on the integrated on-site device — no cloud dependency, ensuring data privacy and low latency.

Controlled lighting

A light-isolated enclosure with synchronized illumination gives stable, repeatable imaging independent of ambient light.

Easy integration

Added to an existing line as a standalone inspection station, without stopping the line.

From the field

Live tests and final-surface inspection footage.

Final product surface
Continuous final-surface inspection.
Small tear test
Small tear detection on file surface.
Live field test
On-site live line inspection.
Admin panel & reporting

Managed end to end from a web-based admin panel.

Web-based access

Management and monitoring from a single admin web panel, with operator- and admin-level access control.

Sensitivity control

Detection sensitivity is tunable per product and scenario from the panel.

Product profiles

Saved product profiles (diameter, color, coating) are viewed and managed.

Visual evidence

The relevant surface image and an anomaly heat map are stored for each defect.

Meterage tag

The defect's approximate position on the line is reported.

Traceability

Quality history by product code builds a documentable record, with shift and production-based reports.

Action outputs

On detection, the system triggers whatever action you configure — warning only, warning plus stop, and so on.

Audible alarm (siren)

An instant audible alarm warns the operator on detection.

Light alert

Visual warning via lamp or tower light.

Line stop

Automatic line stop via relay/PLC integration.

Operator notification

Instant on-screen notification.

Automation integration

Output that connects to your existing PLC/relay automation.

Optional capabilities

Advanced functions available on request, on top of core surface inspection.

Surface text reading (OCR)

Reads and verifies printed text on the product surface.

Print & logo check

Checks the accuracy, completeness, and alignment of surface text and logo printing.

Earth-cable yellow/green ratio

Earth cables are produced with a yellow-green combination by standard, and the yellow/green ratio must sit within a defined range. The system evaluates the full 360° surface — three views from 0°, 120°, and 240° merged into a surface unwrap — computes the total yellow/green ratio, and checks it automatically.

Defect classification

Classifies detected defects by type (e.g. tear / scratch / stain / band).

How the yellow/green check works

  1. 01

    Three views captured

    0°, 120°, and 240° images of the cable surface are captured.

    Three views captured
  2. 02

    Color classification

    Each view is classified into yellow, green, and other regions.

  3. 03

    360° surface unwrap

    The three views are merged into a single unwrapped surface map.
