Image processing visual inspection system iVision (from visual inspection to automated inspection)
If you are considering introducing image processing inspection equipment, or if you feel that your existing inspection equipment is insufficient, why not consider iVision!
For customers considering automating their inspection processes, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information available on various products and services, and unsure of what criteria to use for selection.
"iVision" is a system that can provide solutions tailored to our customers' needs.
We will confirm "what" and "under what conditions" the customer wants to perform the inspection, consider the appropriate cameras, lighting, etc., and propose equipment that meets their needs.
Furthermore, our staff will visit the installation site to handle the initial setup during installation.
"iVision" has a proven track record with many items, including the following:
■Target items
• Metal processed products (forged, die-cast, pressed, and machined products)
• Resin molded products (injection molded, extruded, and pro-molded products)
• Electronic equipment (circuit boards, electronic components, etc.)
Building materials, textiles, food containers, jewelry
If there are any parts or processes that you currently inspect visually, we would like you to check them using "iVision."
We will conduct a free verification of the items you wish to inspect and report the results to you.

Adapting to diverse work environments and tasks! Case studies of the "iVision" automated inspection system implementation.
Case Studies Section
Resin and film sector
• [Inline] Resin product printing and inspection system
[Tags: Print misalignment/incompleteness/smudges/stains]
Overview: Three cameras and three lights are installed on the transport line after printing of molded products. They instantly detect misaligned or missing characters, as well as ink splatters and stains outside the printed area, and output an OK/NG signal on the screen.
• Roll-to-roll inline film inspection system
[Tags: black spots/foreign objects/stains]
Overview: Four cameras are placed along the winding process to continuously inspect the film from start to finish. When a defect is detected, the distance from the starting point and its condition are immediately visualized.
• Fully Automatic Plastic Bottle Defect Inspection System
[Tags: scratches/black spots/stains/printing defects]
Overview: This system combines a rotating stage with six cameras to fully automate the imaging and sorting of bottles from multiple angles.
• Semi-automatic resin molded product dimension inspection system
[Tags: Dimensional measurement / Desktop robot]
Overview: In conjunction with a general-purpose XYZ axis desktop robot, the camera automatically moves to a specified position. It automates the determination of dimensions and tolerances for areas that cannot be captured in a single image.
• Semi-automatic resin molded product foreign object and black spot inspection system
[Tags: foreign objects/black spots/conveyor transport]
Overview: Workpieces placed manually are inspected by an overhead camera while being transported on a conveyor belt, and defective items are automatically ejected from the line by an automated discharge mechanism.
• [Multi-axis robot] Inspection system for resin containers
[Tags: scratches/stains/deformation/6-axis robot]
Overview: A multi-axis robot grips a workpiece and moves in a complex manner in front of a camera. It appropriately images multiple surfaces, enabling automated inspection of complex shapes that were previously difficult to inspect.
Metals and parts sector
• [Inline] Metal Plate Inspection System
[Tags: scratches/dents/chips]
Overview: By installing cameras and lighting above existing conveyor lines, minute scratches, dents, and the type and location of defects on the surface of metal plates can be instantly identified without stopping the line.
• [Handheld] Large Metal Parts Inspection System
[Tags: Long length / Scratches / Dents / Missing parts]
Overview: Multiple cameras (4) and lighting (8) are positioned for long workpieces. This allows for high-precision inspection of even the smallest defects in long materials that might be missed by a single camera.
Advanced Solutions (AI and Robot Collaboration Technology)
Immediately below the case study section, we will connect a section containing proposals for the latest technologies that address the need for "more advanced automation."
Solution 01: An "AI Visual Inspection System" that closely replicates the human eye's perception.
- For those who are experiencing frequent false positives (over-detection) with traditional rule-based systems, or who are struggling with automating sensory evaluation:
- Features and Recommended Points
- Easy AI model generation: Simply register images of good and defective products and annotate the defective areas to build an inference model.
- Direct integration with iVision: Generated AI models can be directly imported into our proprietary software, "iVision." No complicated settings are required, and it can be put into operation immediately.
- The more you use it, the more accurate it becomes: Inspection images are automatically stored and used to retrain the AI, continuously improving its accuracy.
Solution 02: Automatically picking and inspecting bulk workpieces with "Robot Picking + iVision"
- "They are manually arranging and setting up the loosely stacked products..." (To the site)
- Features and Recommended Points
- AI x 3D Object Detection: AI automatically detects even hidden workpieces in the corners of boxes, ensuring no items are left behind during picking.
- Reduced cycle time: Because the robot picks each item individually and transports and inspects them at a fixed camera position, processing is faster than with a robot arm direct camera system.
- Compatible with robots from various manufacturers: Supports major manufacturers such as FANUC, YASUKAWA, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, DENSO WAVE, and Universal Robots.
- Automatic rejection of defective products: We can also provide a system that automatically sends defective products to a rejection line after inspection.
Conversion Area (Free Trial Information)
- If you're having trouble with automation, please feel free to contact us!
- We will verify whether your company's inspections can be automated, *in advance* and *free of charge*.
- Problem-solving empathy check
- ☑ Defects are being overlooked due to manual visual inspection.
- ☑ Standard training for visual inspection takes time, making it difficult to secure inspectors.
- ☑ We want to automate the inspection process, but we're unsure if we can actually achieve it with our own in-house operations.
