Software Development

Image processing
that thinks ahead.

Custom software for optical inspection, from image capture to AI-powered decision-making to integration into your system.

The Starting Point

Four hurdles that hold good inspection processes back.

Most inspection issues can be traced back to four recurring patterns.

Faulty Processes

Defects are detected too late. This results in scrap, rework, and inconsistent quality from batch to batch.

Complex Operation

Long training periods and operating errors lead to downtime. Critical knowledge is tied to specific individuals.

Uncertain Decisions

Inspections rely on gut feeling, borderline cases are judged inconsistently, and reliable documentation is missing.

Lack of Integration

Siloed systems with no data flow, manual data entry into the PLC and MES, and no end-to-end traceability.

Our Approach

Here's how we tackle these challenges.

We start with image capture, not the model: lighting, optics, and trained AI deliver reproducible pass/fail decisions at line speed.

Development of embedded and application software for AI-based image processing and real-time process monitoring

Development and testing of the processing pipeline in the laboratory.

01 Computer Vision & AI

Carefully calibrated lighting, optics, and trained models make it possible to reliably detect even barely visible defects.

02 Embedded Software

Lean software running directly on edge hardware such as PICUS: low latency, easy maintenance, no server required.

03 Calibration & Simulation

Calibrated setups and synthetic data also cover edge cases, enabling faster commissioning.

04 Real-Time Processing

Optimized pipelines process image and sensor data in milliseconds for decisions without delay.

05 ROS2 & Integration

Integration via ROS2, PLC, and MES with clear interfaces and end-to-end traceability.

06 Proof of Concept

A working proof of concept in weeks instead of months, providing early certainty before making an investment.

Why Grünspecht Vision Labs

Engineering from the optics
to the decision.

Computer Vision & AI

Object recognition, classification, measurement, inspection: AI where it provides measurable benefits, and traditional image processing where it is more robust.

Calibration Software

Camera and system calibration, including validation, for reliable, repeatable measurement results.

Simulation Software

Test behavior before the hardware exists. This prevents wasted investments and shortens development cycles.

Control Systems

From microcontroller firmware to application: deterministic, compatible with systems such as ROS2.

Signal Processing

Sensor and image data in real time or in batch mode, on embedded hardware or on a desktop.

Proof of Concept

A prototype answers the critical question and establishes a solid foundation before full implementation.
