Expertise in industrial machine vision and AOI

Image processing, AOI and machine vision – integrated into machines, systems and production lines.

OCTUM develops and integrates machine vision systems for demanding industrial inspection tasks. As a systems integrator, we combine cameras, optics, lighting, software, interfaces and machine integration to create reliable production solutions.

Our expertise ranges from traditional industrial image processing through automatic optical inspection, 3D image processing and deep learning to integration into machines, systems and existing production lines. The specific inspection task is always the decisive factor: what needs to be detected, inspected, measured, read or documented – and under what real-world production conditions?

From the testing task to the integrated solution

A successful machine vision solution is not created by individual components alone. The camera, optics and lighting must be suited to the task at hand. The software must provide reliable analysis. Interfaces, the user interface and data connectivity must be integrated into the production environment.

OCTUM therefore takes a holistic view of the entire process: from the initial feasibility assessment, through system design and software, to integration, commissioning and long-term support.

Our areas of expertise

Industrial machine vision

 

Industrial machine vision makes quality visible – directly within the production process, in an automated and repeatable manner. OCTUM develops machine vision solutions for optical quality inspection, presence checks, completeness checks, surface inspection, measurement, OCR, OCV and code verification.

AOI systems

 

AOI systems enable automatic optical inspection directly on the production line. They inspect products, components, packaging or codes in-line and support 100% inspection, process reliability and verifiable quality.

Feasibility study and proof of concept

 

Before undertaking complex inspection tasks, a technical feasibility assessment is often the crucial first step. OCTUM evaluates the product, defect patterns, camera, optics, lighting and evaluation logic, providing a sound basis for decision-making.

 

> Have the feasibility assessed

System integration

 

As a systems integrator, OCTUM integrates image processing systems into new machine designs, existing plants and production-critical lines. In doing so, the company takes into account space constraints, cycle times, interfaces, PLC connectivity, user operation, data flow and long-term operation..

How to get started with OCTUM

The process begins with your specific inspection task. You describe the product, process, defect pattern, cycle time and quality requirements. OCTUM then assesses which vision system solution is technically sound, economically viable and reliable in the long term.

 

Describe the inspection task

They describe which characteristic is to be checked, read, measured or documented.

 

Assess feasibility

OCTUM assesses the camera, optics, lighting, software, installation environment and potential integration points.

 

Develop a solution

Based on your requirements, we will develop a technical concept for your application.

 

Integrate and support the system

The testing system is integrated into the machine, plant or production line and supported on an ongoing basis.

 

Are you looking for the right solution for your inspection task?
