Vision4Quality GmbH
About us
Vision4Quality is a company that is rethinking quality inspection. With AI-native, camera-based technology that requires no programming, it reduces scrap and ensures quality. Since its founding in 2021, the company has gradually established various systems and now has customers and partners throughout Europe. Vision4Quality currently employs 25 people, most of whom are developers.
The product portfolio currently includes a worker guidance system, an AOI system, a robot guidance system, and AI-building software. Thanks to various configuration options, add-ons, and communication interfaces, the systems can be flexibly integrated into existing production lines and allow for precise adaptation to different production stages.
The three inspection systems share a common principle: using modern camera technology and innovative AI applications to reduce scrap and improve quality. This is already happening across a wide range of industries, including automotive, electronics, and aerospace. Anything that is detectable to the human eye can be inspected: incorrectly assembled circuit boards, solder bridges, surface damage on wood, metal, or plastic, injection molding defects, etc.
Thanks to the in-house AI building tool, the systems’ inspection capabilities can be continuously improved, and the portfolio of inspection applications can be expanded with minimal effort. Nevertheless, usability remains a top priority. The software for all four products is based on the no-code principle: creating inspection programs, training AI models, and analyzing data—all of this can be done without programming.
Products & services
ModSPOT - AI-based AOI system
ModSPOT is an AI-based, configurable AOI system for inline and online inspection. A gantry system moves a camera to different sections of the test object, ensuring a clear image even for larger components. Thanks to its native AI integration, ModSPOT covers a wide range of applications. For printed circuit boards, it can inspect THT and SMT components, solder joints, and conformal coatings. In addition, it can identify incorrect screw connections, misplaced cables, and surface damage. In ModSPOT, inspection programs are based on AI models that can be created using the in-house AI building tool ModOFFICE. The AI models are trained using images taken directly from production. This ensures that even the smallest defects are detected without generating false positives. Thanks to a selection of different cameras, lighting options, and an optional housing, ModSPOT can be seamlessly integrated into a wide variety of production environments. Like all Vision4Quality software, ModSPOT is based on the no-code principle. Creating inspection programs, running the programs, and reading production data is intuitive and requires no programming work whatsoever.
ModPCB - AI-based Worker Guidance system
ModPCB is a camera-based worker guidance system that provides step-by-step instructions for assembly while inspecting every assembly step and every component. This allows errors to be identified as soon as they occur and corrected immediately. Thanks to the native integration of AI, ModPCB covers a wide range of applications. These include, among others, the inspection of THT-assembled circuit boards, cables, screw connections, or any type of order picking work. In ModPCB, test programs are based on AI models that can be created using the in-house AI building tool ModOFFICE. The AI models are trained using images taken directly from the production line. This allows even the smallest defects to be detected without generating false positives. Thanks to its compact design, ModPCB integrates seamlessly into existing production lines. A range of add-ons such as lighting, a augmented reality projector and pick-by-light systems, as well as the integration of external hardware like industrial screwdrivers, further enhances compatibility. Like all Vision4Quality software, ModPCB is based on the no-code principle. Creating test programs, executing them, and reading production data is intuitive and requires no programming.
ModOFFICE - No-Code AI building tool
ModOFFICE is an AI-building tool that allows users to create AI models based on images from their own production processes. Our inspection systems automatically generate these images during the ongoing production process. The resulting AI models can then be immediately utilized in our systems for inspection processes, creating a continuous synergy effect: By continuously collecting data, increasingly precise and comprehensive iterations of the AI models can be created with minimal effort. The introduction of new assemblies or implementation across additional production lines incurs virtually no additional effort, making ModOFFICE the perfect tool for scaling quality assurance processes.
