Why a PoC Is Crucial

Minimize risks
before you invest

Optical inspection on reflective or textured surfaces is anything but trivial. Without a proof of concept, you risk making significant investment mistakes.

Incorrect Defect Detection

Defects go undetected or are incorrectly flagged, with direct consequences for quality and the scrap rate.

→ PoC shows the actual detection rate

Cost Traps

Unsuitable hardware or lighting has to be readjusted at great cost or replaced entirely after installation.

→ Optimal hardware selection in advance

Project Delays

Changes made during production significantly extend timelines and jeopardize delivery commitments.

→ Make adjustments early, not late

Unreliable Data

Decisions are based on inaccurate or inconsistent results, without a solid foundation for investments.

→ Reproducible results
Your Benefits

Everything under control,
right from the start.

Our proof of concept gives you the data foundation for sound decisions before a single euro goes into the system.

Reliable Feasibility

Check whether your inspection will actually work before implementing it.

Flawless Quality

Defects are accurately detected, and false alarms are kept to a minimum.

Cost Control

Optimal selection of hardware and lighting. No need for costly readjustments.

Project Schedule Secured

Adjustments are made early on. This helps prevent production downtime.

Clean Data Foundation

Consistent, reproducible results as a solid basis for decision-making.

Flexible & Scalable

Easily expandable to new products or surfaces without changing the system.

Process

Reliable results
in just 3 days.

Send us your parts. Together, we’ll develop an initial proof of concept. Flexible, straightforward, and ready for immediate implementation.

One-pager

The feasibility study on one page.

A concise summary of the procedure, report content, and test bench technology. For your reference or to share with your team.

Use Cases

Suitable for almost
any inspection task.

Assembly Line Production

In-Process Optical Inspection

Real-time defect detection directly on the production line, at high conveyor speeds without interrupting production.

Reflective Surfaces

Stainless Steel & Foil Inspection

Reflections and fine structures make defects difficult to detect. Our system reliably indicates whether the inspection is working.

Automation

Industrial Automation Solutions

Any kind of optical inspection in an industrial automation context, configurable for your specific application.

Test images of various defect types under special lighting—feasibility studies for industrial image processing and defect detection

Typical defect images from the lab: different materials and lighting modes.

Feasibility confirmed? The next step is the test bench, which will turn this into a production system.
