Vision and Inspection Solutions
Inline vision systems that inspect 100% of production – detecting defects, verifying labels and codes, and triggering automated rejection in real time. AIS Vision Automation engineers vision inspection systems using technology from Cognex and Omron, built into the production line and supported across their working life.
How vision inspection works
Every system follows the same four-step cycle, running inline at production speed.
Capture
High-resolution cameras positioned along the line capture an image of every product as it passes. Lighting and optics are specified for the product and the feature being inspected.
Analyse
Vision software compares each image against the quality standard — rule-based for predictable defects or deep learning for visual anomalies that rules can’t model. Codes and text are read and verified against the expected data.
Reject
When a non-conforming product is detected, the system triggers an automated reject mechanism to remove it from the line — without slowing throughput.
Record
Every inspection result is logged for traceability, compliance reporting and audit. Data feeds into MES, ERP or your QMS as required.
Vision inspection capabilities
We deliver vision inspection across four core areas. Each can be specified as a standalone module or engineered into a complete inspection solution.
Machine vision inspection
Inline inspection for dimensional measurement, surface defect detection, presence and orientation verification, fill level, cap placement and seal integrity. Smart cameras and vision sensors specified for the application and line speed.
AI and deep learning vision
Deep learning vision for defect classification and visual anomalies that rule-based systems can’t model – cosmetic defects, complex surface variation, contamination patterns. Trained on your production data and tuned to your quality standard.
Label and print inspection
Verification of label position, content, print quality and leaflet presence. OCR and OCV for variable data, expiry codes and lot numbers. Inspection on cartons, blisters, vials, bottles and secondary packaging.
Code verification and traceability
Barcode and Data Matrix reading and grading to ISO and ANSI standards. Serialisation verification and full traceability reporting. UDI compliance for medical device, serialisation for pharmaceutical, GS1 retail traceability for food and beverage.
Industries we serve
Vision inspection is deployed across the industry sectors we cover. Sector-specific requirements including regulatory, throughput and packaging format shape how each system is specified.
Inline vision inspection catches the defects, labelling errors and serialisation issues that drive recalls before product leaves the line. UDI verification, sterile packaging inspection, defect detection and assembly verification, validated to support ISO, FDA and MDR compliance with IQ, OQ, PQ documentation.
