Vision integration
Not every customer needs a completely new inspection system. Sometimes, the real challenge is how to integrate vision technology into an existing production line.
That’s exactly what we do with vision integration. We bring machine vision into production lines that are already up and running, as well as lines being built by other parties. By combining cameras, lighting, handling and intelligent software, we create a fully integrated solution that fits seamlessly into the existing process. All with a compact, tailor-made design and minimal disruption to production.
This is where our three core competencies come together in practice: capturing the image, enabling the image and interpreting the image. With extensive hands-on experience, particularly across Europe, we know what works, what doesn’t, and how to make vision technology work in real-world production environments.
Vision integration in practice
Every integration project begins with a thorough understanding of your production process. Together with your engineers we map out what is needed: what the inspection challenge entails, at which point in the line the inspection should ideally take place, on which product, at what line speed, and which standards must be met. From there we design the solution.
Frame design
The mechanical design is aligned with the available space in your line. Our systems are compact and require minimal modifications to the existing setup.
Cameras and lighting
The selection of cameras and lighting methods is matched to the specific product and the desired detection accuracy. This is often where the difference lies between a system that works and a system that truly performs.
Algorithms and vision applications
The software that analyses the images is developed to order. Our experience with classical vision solutions combined with our own tailored AI algorithms and deep learning ensures the system operates reliably even in the most complex inspection challenges.
Integration and commissioning
The system is integrated into your production line, tested and commissioned. We take responsibility for the end result: it must work in practice, not just on paper.
Why Vision Integration?

Low investment, quick return
Compared to a new inspection system, vision integration requires a manageable investment with a quick return, while improved insights drive production optimisation.
Minimal impact on your production
Our integration solutions are designed to fit into existing lines with as little downtime as possible. They are compact, flexible and matched to the available space.
Future-proof
Through the use of tailored AI and deep learning, our vision systems are not only suitable for current requirements, but also prepared for future challenges. As the market changes, the system can change with it.
Support and training
After integration we train your team on the new system. From daily operation to configuration and troubleshooting. And our support is on hand for technical questions, software updates and calibration, ensuring the system continues to perform as you have come to expect.
