Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)

Machine vision and AI-supported inspection for high-speed production.

The inspection problem

Manual visual inspection can't hold up at line speed, and its consistency depends on operator fatigue and lighting. AOI systems automate visual checks and record every decision.

Why it matters

Automated visual inspection is often the fastest path from a defect trend to a controlled process.

Method comparison

Which method fits your part?

Every method has a sweet spot and a limitation. Choose based on defect, geometry, throughput and access — not on habit.

Machine vision

When it fits: Rule-based defect and presence/absence checks.

Limitations: Requires consistent lighting and part positioning.

AI-supported inspection

When it fits: Defects that resist rule-based description.

Limitations: Needs training data; requires monitoring in production.
