We’re a team of image inspection specialists with over 40 years of hands-on experience in the field of factory automation (FA). We’ve spent decades working directly on the production floor, tackling tough visual inspection challenges with one goal: making automated inspection smarter and more reliable.
On this site, we introduce two unique methods we’ve developed from real-world experience:
The “Kome-no-Ji” Method — a fresh approach that goes beyond brightness-based comparisons
The “VSOP” Method — a hybrid 2D/3D technique ideal for parts like castings, sheet metal, and molded components
These methods were born out of necessity—when traditional techniques and even deep learning couldn’t solve certain inspection tasks, we stayed on-site until we figured out a new way.
❓Struggling with detection accuracy?
If you’re facing low detection rates, high false positives, or a project you’ve nearly given up on—talk to us. Our solutions are made for exactly those tough cases.
