AI-powered machine vision for high-speed production

Turn vision data into production value with Visual Inspection Cockpit on Industrial Edge. Apply machine vision for defect detection, counting, measurement, and quality classification of products. Leverage this data to gain actionable insights and enable closed-loop responses on the shop floor.

Challenge

High-speed production makes manual inspection of every product impractical, while sampling can leave quality issues undetected. Natural variations in shape, texture, and appearance also challenge classical machine vision. Production systems with these challenges require a solution capable of responding at the right time.

Solution

Visual Inspection Cockpit (VIC) brings machine vision directly to production with Industrial Edge. It inspects every product in real time, transforms visual data into actionable production insights, and enables automated responses such as classification or rejection. Designed for high-speed and naturally varying products, VIC helps manufacturers act consistently at scale.

Benefits

Transform visual inspection into measurable value across production. Visual Inspection Cockpit helps you:

  • Inspect high-speed production, with up to 2,400 inspections per minute.
  • Improve quality consistency with reliable, real-time inspection results.
  • Gain actionable insights from visual and quality data.
  • Trigger automated responses with IT/OT integration, including classification and rejection.
  • Scale across production lines with Siemens Industrial Edge.

How to get started

From POC to production

Select your use case and deploy the engineered configuration on Siemens Industrial Edge for real-time monitoring or closed-loop automation.

Identify and define inspection goals

Check feasibility

Share your use case with our experts. Together, we define what VIC needs to see and how the results create value in your production.

Create a data model

Configure your application

Your products, your rules. Define what VIC should look for, what meets your quality standards, and how each result should drive action in your production.

Train and validate your configuration

Go live with confidence

Start on one line, see the results, then scale. Industrial Edge lets you deploy VIC close to production and extend it to more lines, all managed centrally.

Runs locally on Industrial Edge

Run inspection directly on the production line with Siemens Industrial Edge. Use results instantly on the shop floor or leverage them for analysis.

Connects directly to your automation

Send results such as quality decisions, product classes, or measurements to your PLC to trigger rejection, sorting, or other actions in production.

Built for production

Adapt the model easily to each use case with the Visual Inspection Cockpit training environment.
