Cosmetic Defect Inspection

You need a partner who understands that cosmetic defect inspection problems are some of the hardest—not an integrator who just believes the hype and not someone so big that the engineers are hidden behind management and salespeople. Invent Automation is a foremost expert in the world of machine vision for detecting cosmetic defects. From finding splotches on complex patterns to defects that only show up once in a blue moon, we have done it all.

You need engineers and inventors knowledgeable in:

1. Knowing how to expose the defects with proper lighting
2. Utilizing the latest AI, deep learning and multispectral imaging tools
3. Circular region, blob and morphological analysis
4. Understand when you are taxing smart cameras too much and need to switch to PC based machine vision
5. Mistake-proofing the process

Common pitfalls in the world of cosmetic defect inspection that we ensure you don’t fall into:

1. Not accounting for a smart cameras limited processing power
2. Not getting enough contrast between your defect and surrounding good area
3. Not considering ambient lighting conditions

We’ve been to hundreds of plants and seen thousands of projects. We’ve rescued cosmetic defect inspection machine vision projects, learned from others' mistakes, made some of our own, and know what it takes to make automated cosmetic defect inspection projects successful.

Our machine vision solutions start with a phone call and a visit where we listen, throw around crazy ideas, and ask “what if” together. It’s a lot of fun compared to the daily grind. But we don’t prescribe before diagnosing. We seek to understand the drivers and business results that warrant the investment in machine vision. You want a bespoke custom machine vision solution tailored to your needs, and it must deliver business results on time so you can make a return on your investment. We know it’s not about deploying a particular technology or brand; it’s all about achieving your business goal.

Your crazy idea might work. We exist to Invent Automation. Call, email, or chat with us here and talk to an inventor who gets it, so your custom machine vision system can get built and you can get that win.
