Quality control with AI -
The future of the industry

Visual inspection as a decisive success factor in industrial production


Optical quality control (OQC) comprises targeted visual inspection processes that ensure products are free from defects and comply with defined quality standards. By planning, documenting, monitoring and optimizing visual inspections along the entire value chain, processing companies can ensure a high level of process reliability. In order to comply with norms, regulations and quality management standards (ISO 9001), visual quality control forms the basis for defect-free products, sustainable competitiveness and maximum customer satisfaction.

36ZERO Vision significantly expands this approach. The use of modern deep learning technologies automates quality assurance, making it both more intelligent and more precise.

While conventional technologies often interpret deviations as defects, the AI-based solution from 36ZERO Vision recognizes the difference between actual defect patterns and non-critical anomalies. This avoids pseudo defects and significantly increases the efficiency of visual quality inspection.

Artificial intelligence analyzes production images in real time, clearly classifies identified errors and thus enables targeted control of production processes. This supports employees and contributes to the continuous improvement of production processes.

One particular advantage is its flexibility: thanks to the no-code self-service platform, users can train the AI independently. Just a few sample images are enough to adapt the system to new products, variants or series. The models run autonomously on-premise, are hardware-independent and integrate seamlessly into existing optical quality control methods.

In this way, 36ZERO Vision creates a new form of visual inspection - precise, efficient and future-proof. Companies benefit from reduced waste, more stable processes and a sustainable improvement in their quality standards.


Boundaries of conventional methods
in your production

Traditional inspections detect anomalies based on machine learning and statistical methods, but cannot clearly classify errors.
This leads to pseudo errors, rejects and unnecessary inspection processes.
Manual quality checks are resource-intensive, error-prone and slow down processes.
