Describe the industrial problem and we take you to the recommended hardware.
AI defect inspection
AISurface and cosmetic defect detection with deep learning on area scan cameras and the right lighting.
Industrial OCR / OCV
AIReading and verification of printed text, lot, expiry and serial with camera, coaxial/dome lighting and software.
Traceability and code reading
1D/2D/DPM reading and code verification for traceability in packaging, pharma, automotive and logistics.
Packaging inspection
Presence, integrity, labelling and codes on packaging with smart cameras, vision sensors and lighting.
Dimensional measurement
2D/3D metrology with backlight, high-resolution cameras, telecentric lenses and laser sensors.
Surface inspection
Detection of scratches, embossing and surface defects with line scan, dark field and high-speed cameras.
Line scan vision
Continuous inspection of web or conveyor material with line scan cameras, encoders, line lighting and frame grabbers.
Robot guidance
2D/3D localization and guidance for pick & place and bin picking with 3D cameras, sensors and lighting.
Hardware ready for AI-based visual inspection
Cameras, series and kits specifically geared towards defect inspection, OCR/OCV and classification with Rosepetal. We validate resolution, lighting and shutter so the AI model works in production.
- Global shutter area scan cameras — the foundation of most surface AI applications.
- Stable coaxial / dome lighting — key for OCR/OCV on reflective surfaces.
- AI inspection kits — camera, lens, lighting and software validated together.
Turnkey validation and integration
When the project needs more than hardware, AIS Vision runs the complete technical study and takes care of the integration.
- Lighting studies.
- Camera, lens and sensor selection.
- Application trials with real images.
- Turnkey integration.
When to choose AIS Vision?
If the part is complex, there are difficult reflections, demanding line speed or regulatory requirements (pharma, food), it is worth validating before buying hardware.

Featured technical guides
Selection criteria and key machine vision concepts.
How to choose an industrial camera
A practical, application-first method for selecting an industrial camera: derive resolution from field of view and smallest detail, then match shutter, speed, interface, lens and lighting.
GigE Vision vs USB3 Vision vs CoaXPress
A practical decision guide to the three dominant machine-vision interfaces: bandwidth, cable length, multi-camera support, PoE, latency, frame grabber needs and cost.
Area scan vs line scan cameras
When to use a matrix (area scan) sensor versus a line sensor: discrete parts vs continuous web and cylindrical material, encoder sync, lighting and frame grabber needs.
How to choose a lens for machine vision
A practical engineer's guide to selecting machine-vision lenses: focal length from FOV and working distance, sensor format, resolving power, aperture, depth of field and telecentricity.
How to choose machine vision lighting
A practical guide to choosing machine vision lighting: geometry, wavelength, strobe vs continuous, ambient control and how to maximise feature contrast for reliable inspection.
Smart camera vs PC-based vision
How to choose between all-in-one smart cameras and PC/embedded vision with a separate camera, based on inspection complexity, throughput, flexibility, AI needs and total cost of ownership.
