Machine vision and visual inspection
Machine vision inspection connected to your production line: define the feature to check, the acceptable variation and the machine’s response.
Discuss your application
An inspection project needs a clear decision: presence, position, appearance, identification or another defined characteristic. Axistra approaches machine vision as part of the production process, connecting image acquisition, inspection requirements and the response of the machine.
Representative good and defective samples, expected variation and operating conditions shape the assessment. Lighting, optics, positioning and timing need to make the relevant feature visible. The inspection result must then reach the correct machine or product-handling step.
Feasibility work and implementation are scoped around agreed samples and test conditions. Detection performance is established through evidence for the particular application; it cannot be determined from a general description alone.
Your technology. Your choice.
The process comes first.
We work with different manufacturers and platforms according to customer preferences. We assess compatibility with existing equipment, maintenance requirements and technical scope before proposing the solution.

What we define together
The activities and documentation are defined by the requirements and agreement for the project.
- Inspection and sample/test requirements
- Image-acquisition and integration concept
- Signal and reject-handling scope
- Agreed evaluation of missed defects and wrongly rejected good parts
- Test findings, limits and handover documentation within scope
Practical questions
Are a few ideal samples enough?
They can start the discussion, but they do not represent production variation. Include normal variants, known defects and borderline examples relevant to the acceptance decision.
Do we need AI for the inspection?
That is an engineering choice after the inspection task and images are understood. The method should fit the feature, variation and test requirements; a particular software approach is not assumed.
What happens when the inspection fails?
The required response must be defined: reject the product, flag it for review, signal another machine or follow another agreed action. Product identification and response timing are part of the integration scope.
