Inspect. Measure. Read.

Three vision capabilities · one in-house team · UK-engineered

Everything we build comes back to three things: inspect what's there, measure it accurately, and read the codes and text that tie it to your MES. The list below is what those three words actually look like on a production line.

Built around
the line.

In short

Each capability is delivered by the same engineers who design, build and install the cell — so what's specified on paper is what runs on your floor.

●A // Inspect

Defect detection, label verification, fill and presence checking on fast-moving lines — engineered to eliminate false rejects without missing the real ones.

  • Surface & defect detection

    01

    Scratches, dents, contamination and cosmetic flaws caught at line speed across metals, plastics, glass and composites.

  • Label & print verify

    02

    Artwork, batch and date code verification with rules tuned per SKU and substrate, robust to print and lighting variation.

  • Fill & seal inspection

    03

    Fill level, headspace and seal integrity inspected through clear, tinted and opaque packaging at full throughput.

  • Presence & assembly

    04

    Part presence, orientation and correct component assembly verified before downstream operations commit.

  • Colour & contamination

    05

    Colour matching and foreign body detection with calibrated lighting and reference targets held on the cell.

  • High-speed line capture

    06

    Strobed and global-shutter capture engineered around your conveyor speed for crisp, motion-free images.

●B // Measure

Sub-pixel dimensional gauging and geometry checks — repeatable, traceable and audit-ready, with SPC outputs that plug straight into your MES.

  • Dimensional gauging

    01

    2D and 3D measurement of critical dimensions with sub-pixel accuracy and documented Gauge R&R against your tolerance.

  • Bottle & cap geometry

    02

    Diameter, ovality, height, neck finish and cap alignment measured through full production mix without changeover.

  • Assembly verification

    03

    Position, fit and alignment of mating parts checked against CAD-derived tolerances before the assembly leaves the cell.

  • Profile & edge metrology

    04

    Edge break, radii, chamfers and profile deviation captured with telecentric optics and traceable calibration.

  • SPC / MES integration

    05

    Live measurement data streamed to SPC and MES with trend, drift and Cpk reporting on your existing dashboards.

  • Calibration & traceability

    06

    UKAS-traceable calibration artefacts and a documented calibration schedule your QA team can sign against.

●C // Read

1D, 2D and DPM code reading and OCR at full line speed — built to hold a Grade A read rate through SKU changes, peak runs and night shifts.

  • Barcode 1D / 2D / DPM

    01

    Linear, Data Matrix and QR reading on labels, direct-part marks, etched, dot-peened and laser-marked surfaces.

  • OCR & OCV

    02

    Printed text, batch and expiry verification with font training and substrate-aware preprocessing for variable print.

  • Track & trace

    03

    Serialisation, aggregation and reconciliation across pack, case and pallet with full event logging to your MES.

  • Grade certification

    04

    ISO/IEC 15415/15416 grading on the live cell with certificates issued for customer and regulatory audit.

  • Multi-camera coverage

    05

    Multi-angle and multi-camera rigs for parts that can't be presented in a single orientation at line speed.

  • Reject & reconciliation

    06

    Failed reads routed to reject with serial-level reconciliation so nothing slips past the cell unaccounted for.
