SwitchOn DeepInspect — AI Visual Inspection
SwitchOn DeepInspect is AI-powered visual inspection for the production line — deep-learning models that catch surface and cosmetic defects traditional rule-based machine vision misses. It trains on a handful of sample images instead of months of programming, runs on standard industrial cameras, and flags defects in real time so bad parts never reach the customer. This page covers what DeepInspect does and how it compares to traditional inspection.

Choosing a SwitchOn deepinspect machine
The decisions that actually matter for this class of machine — size them to your parts, not to a spec sheet.
AI vs rule-based vision
Traditional machine vision needs an engineer to hand-code rules for every defect and lighting condition. DeepInspect learns from example images, so it handles variable, subtle and never-before-seen defects that break rule-based systems.
Fast to deploy
Because it trains on a small set of good/bad images rather than months of programming, DeepInspect goes from pilot to line far faster — and you can retrain it as new defect types appear.
Runs on your hardware
DeepInspect works with standard industrial cameras and existing line layouts, so you don’t need exotic optics — it fits into the inspection station you already have.
Where it fits
Best for high-speed, high-mix lines with cosmetic or surface defects — scratches, dents, contamination, print and assembly errors — where manual inspection is inconsistent and rule-based vision is brittle.

Frequently asked questions
How is DeepInspect different from traditional machine vision?
Traditional machine vision relies on hand-coded rules for each defect and lighting condition, which is slow to set up and brittle. DeepInspect uses deep learning that trains on example images, so it catches subtle, variable and never-before-seen defects that rule-based systems miss.
How much data does it need to train?
A handful of sample images rather than months of programming — DeepInspect learns from good and defective examples and can be retrained as new defect types appear, so it deploys fast.
What hardware does it run on?
Standard industrial cameras and your existing line layout — no exotic optics required, so it fits into the inspection station you already have.
