empathy test
People say that visual inspections are difficult to automate because they are sensory inspections or because they are sensory. With FlexInspector, I've been able to get results that are pretty close to visual sensory inspection. But... something doesn't feel right. Different! Visual inspection is an "emotional" inspection [...].
character reader
We recently visited a customer who had delivered a version of FlexInspector with an additional character reading function and performed a flow check. The film was wavy due to the heat treatment after printing, and the camera [...]...
majority decision-making system
FlexInspector used to determine the range of good products by registering many "good products" and then inspecting to see if they were within that range. The problem with this method is that it requires a large number of "good products". In the field, there are many unsorted products [...].
Support-free inspection equipment
It's been about seven years since we launched FlexInspector, and there must be several hundred units running somewhere. However, whether they are being operated by people in the field doing their best to keep them running, or whether they are just being passed over, very few requests for support have been raised, so [...].

We often receive phone calls inquiring about our products, and among them, we are often asked how they are different from other image sensors. To be honest, they are so different that it is difficult to explain the points, but the biggest points are ●Others Advanced image processing [...].
AUTOMATIC APPEARANCE SENSOR FIS-100
Just before the International Technical Exhibition on Image Technology and Equipment, the "automatic appearance sensor" that I have wanted to do for some time is taking shape. Compared to FlexInspector, which is said to be easy, its ease of use is overwhelming. It will be one of the answers to realize "anyone can use" [...].
Inspection Items" in Automated Visual Inspection
It seems that the number of system integrators that deal with image processing inspection equipment is increasing. I have been looking at some of their websites, and I have a thought. What are the "inspection items" in automated visual inspection? I think that the purpose of automatic visual inspection is to replace visual inspection and [...]...
Start of FlexInspector DLLing
For some time now, we have often been asked, "Can we incorporate FlexInspector into our own applications?" We have often been asked, "Can we incorporate FlexInspector into our own applications? However, since FlexInspector itself is a closed application, we are unable to meet such requests [...].
