360 degree spark plug inspection — automotive Vision AI Automotive
15 Sep 2025
360° Spark Plug Inspection Powered by DeepInspect®
Rotational multi-camera cell wraps every plug — insulator cracks, electrode gap, thread surface — at line speed. Worth a read if you're running a Tier 1 plug line and currently rely on rule-based vision that stalls on orientation variability.

Borescope inspection — automotive deep-bore deep learning Automotive
22 Apr 2025
Borescope Inspection Powered by DeepInspect®
Engine bore, cylinder ID, hydraulic lifter cavities — geometries where a camera has to live inside the part. The write-up covers lighting strategy and model-training shortcuts for low-contrast bore-surface defects.

360 degree cap inspection — FMCG pharma Consumer Goods
23 Jul 2025
Reimagining 360° Cap Inspection with DeepInspect
If your line currently fixtures bottles to a known orientation just to inspect a cap, this teardown is worth 5 minutes — rotation-invariant cap inspection means scrapping the orientation rig and reclaiming line real estate.

Glass bottle bore inspection — FMCG Consumer Goods
15 May 2025
Glass Bottle Bore Inspection Using DeepInspect®
300 PPM, 40+ SKUs (50–350mm), 99.8% accuracy with only 200 training images per SKU. Detects neck-diameter drift, choked necks, foreign particles. Eliminated 2 manual inspectors on a high-speed glass line.

HDPE bottle inspection — Ariel detergent line Consumer Goods
28 Mar 2025
AI-Powered HDPE Bottle Inspection
8-camera DeepInspect station on a P&G detergent line — surface defects as small as 1cm at 50–130 PPM. 99.5% accuracy, 0.05% false-positive rate. Shows what an 8-camera setup actually looks like.

PCB SMT solder inspection — electronics Electronics
17 Feb 2025
Enhancing PCB Quality & Efficiency with DeepInspect®
Where AOI struggles: high-density assembly with low colour contrast (green-on-green) and reflective solder. The piece walks through how deep learning catches what rule-based PCB inspection misses — missing components, tombstoning, solder shorts.

AI-powered dimension check — DeepInspect Product
03 Jul 2025
AI-Powered Dimension Check Using DeepInspect
Yes, deep learning can do metrology — within tolerance limits worth understanding. The write-up is honest about where AI dimensioning is suitable (relative checks, presence/absence with rough sizing) and where you still need a coordinate-measuring system.

360 degree syrup cap inspection — pharma Pharma
13 Nov 2024
360° Syrup Cap Inspection Using DeepInspect
Cap seal, tamper-evident band, label OCR, fill-level and shoulder-area particulate — all in one station for oral-liquid pharma bottles. Useful baseline if you're scoping a syrup line and have 21 CFR Part 11 in your validation requirements.

Gelatin capsule defect inspection — pharma Pharma
28 Oct 2024
Gelatin Capsule Inspection Using DeepInspect
Capsule body/cap mismatches, dimples, splits, particles trapped in transparent gelatin, batch-to-batch colour drift. A nuts-and-bolts look at the defect taxonomy a high-speed encapsulation line actually deals with.

Thermal inspection using DeepInspect Cross-Industry
05 Sep 2024
AI-Powered Thermal Inspection Using DeepInspect
Thermal imaging for seal-integrity, cap presence, hot-spot detection on EV battery packs — defects that visible-light cameras miss entirely. Good primer if you're sourcing FLIR or other thermal cameras for an inspection cell.
