FUNCTIONALITY

Feeding & Manipulation

System organizes the products into lines for stable and continuous inspection. Transfers the products to the imaging area. Gentle manipulations allow controlled movement of capsules for accurate and reliable imaging.

Clear Vision

For us is the art of imaging, where even the smallest product defects are distinctly visible on images. Clear vision is the core to successful and reliable inspection solutions and strongly relies on advanced imaging technologies, such as lighting modalities, precise optics and multimodal imaging.

Science made easy

The product quality is measured on images by software solutions based on the latest scientific developments. However, because science does not belong into production, we put lots of effort into technology simplification, where use of our solutions requires no scientific background or computer vision expertise.

Active sorting

System with sorting verification reliably rejects any product, that does not meet quality criteria.
