Inspection

Vision Inspection Systems

Industrial vision that checks orientation, presence and quality in real time, then accepts, diverts or rejects product without slowing the line. Mexx is an integration agent for Cognex and Omron.

Why it works

Fast, reliable decisions on the line

Decisions at line speed

Images are processed on the spot, with no waiting on a server.

AI where it helps

AI-enabled checks for complex defects and natural variation.

Rules where it counts

Rule-based vision for measurement, presence and position, with consistent, auditable results.

Built into your line

PLC and HMI integration, conveyor synchronisation and reject handling.

What it does

Inspect, decide, act

Products pass through a controlled viewing zone. The system confirms orientation, checks for defects and key features, and tells the line what to do next: accept, divert, reject or re-orient. For fast lines, a spacing module adds consistent gaps for reliable images.

  • Orientation and presence checks
  • AI-enabled classification (optional)
  • Measurement and tolerance checks
  • Counting, sorting and recognition
  • Position confirmation for robots
  • Results logging and traceability (optional)

How it works

Present, capture, decide, act

01

Present

Product is steadied, and spaced if needed, so every image is consistent.

02

Capture

Cameras take images under controlled lighting to cut reflections.

03

Decide

The decision is made on the spot, using AI, rules or both.

04

Act

The PLC accepts, diverts, rejects (for example by air blast) or queues the product for rework.
