01
Decisions inside the cycle
A verdict in under 50 ms, wired to the PLC over digital I/O or OPC UA. Fast enough to divert the part, not just record it.
VRTLST Inspect
Catch the defect before it leaves the line
Scratches, porosity, misalignment, missing components, short fills, bad welds. Inspect makes the call inside the takt time and tells the line what to do about it — divert, flag or pass — instead of producing a report someone reads tomorrow.
FAIL 2 defects · confidence 0.96 · diverted to rework
What it does
Manufacturing defect detection
02
Operators teach it
A one-tap correction on the HMI when the model gets it wrong becomes training data for the next round. No data-science ticket required.
03
Traceable by serial
Every unit keeps its image, its verdict and the reason for that verdict, stored against the serial number for as long as you need it.
How it works
From a camera to a decision
Sub-millimetre surface inspection at line speed, with a decision the PLC can act on.
- Pass / fail in under 50 ms, in-cycle
- Learns new defect classes from operator feedback
- Writes straight to MES, SCADA or the PLC
- Mount or reuse a camera
- Existing line cameras usually work. Edge devices cover new cells and harsh environments.
- Teach the defect
- Label examples of the failure mode. Inspect learns the class and the tolerance band around it.
- Wire the verdict to the line
- Digital I/O and OPC UA for the PLC, REST and MQTT for MES, SCADA and historians.
- Review and retrain
- Escapes and false rejects surface in Command, feeding the next model version.

Getting started
How a Inspect deployment goes
The same shape every time, whichever product you start with.
- Week 0
One hour of footage
Send us recorded video from a single line. We come back with what the model found in it — before anyone signs anything.
- Week 1–2
One line, one model
We stand up a pilot on the line that hurts most, using the cameras already mounted. Operators start correcting it on day one.
- Week 3–4
Wired into the line
The verdict moves from a dashboard to the PLC, the MES or the alerting channel your shift leads actually watch.
- Month 2
Second line, second site
The model and its thresholds travel. Command stages the rollout so a bad version never reaches more than one line.
- Ongoing
It gets better
Corrections accumulate, drift gets flagged, and new defect classes are a fine-tune rather than a project.
Can it keep up with our line speed?
A verdict lands in under 50 ms, which sits inside the takt time on every line we have deployed on. If your cycle is faster than that we will measure it during the pilot before committing.
What happens on a false reject?
The operator overrules it on the HMI. That correction is logged against the unit and queued as training data, so the same false reject gets less likely rather than becoming folklore.
Does it replace our existing vision system?
It can, but it does not have to. Inspect often runs alongside a fixed-function system, taking the defect classes that were too variable to write rules for.
How do we validate it for the quality system?
Every unit keeps its image, verdict and reason. Command exports the full record, and model versions are pinned and auditable per line.
