Zone OS · Automated visual inspection

Inspection machines built around your product. Every one runs Zone OS.

Camera-based inspection for your production line. Zone OS checks every unit for defects, labels, codes and assembly, and keeps a photo of every result. We design, build, install and maintain the station.

Built on low-cost camera hardware. No vision engineers needed on your side.

The two end cameras sit to one side of the conveyor so the box can pass through.Back side (on the frame post) cameraExit end (back side, offset from the path) cameraFront side cameraTop cameraTop, back edge cameraTop, front edge cameraEntry end (front side, offset from the path) camera✓ PASS

Why it matters

Most products are still checked by hand at the end of the line. It's slow, it misses things, and it leaves no proof.

Escapes reach customers

Defects and wrong labels lead to returns, chargebacks and damaged relationships.

Proof is missing

Customers and auditors increasingly ask for evidence that every unit was checked.

Manual checks don't scale

Inspectors are hard to hire, and the standard varies between people and shifts.

What Zone OS checks

One vision system, many inspections

If a person can check it by looking, Zone OS can usually check it automatically, on every unit, every shift.

FAQ

Common questions

What can an automated vision inspection system check?

Visible defects, labels and print, barcodes and QR codes, missing parts, assembly, product identity and basic dimensions. If a person can check it by looking, it can usually be automated.

How much does it cost?

It depends on your product and how much needs checking. Because we use low-cost camera hardware and our own software, a station typically costs a fraction of a conventional machine-vision system. We'll give you a figure after the call.

Do we need machine-vision engineers?

No. We design, build, install and maintain the whole station.

Can our customers see the results?

Yes. Every result and photo can be shared through the Zone OS portal and API.
