Hardware independence is more than a technical preference
It can shape development speed, long-term flexibility, and total system costs in industrial machine vision. In the latest MVPro Media Vision Podcast, Heiko Eisele, President of MVTec America, discusses why software-driven machine vision matters, where open-source tools reach their limits in production, and how AI, data management, and usability are changing vision development.
Fully automated inspection of underbody trays with machine vision
Due to their intricacy, traditional inspection processes are often conducted manually and limited to spot checks. But Vista Solutions Inc. with offices in Canada, the US and Mexico has developed a breakthrough solution that changes that: the Flex-Inspect Platform. This automated inspection system leverages advanced machine vision to perform comprehensive measurements of automotive underbody trays…
Powerful machine vision from MVTec as a building block for ZEISS Blockwise

Quality control that pays off
Every defective part creates a triple cost: wasted material, rework labor, and lost capacity. Across the industry, these hidden drains add up to millions, yet many sites still rely on manual inspection. Machine vision changes the equation. With 30% higher…
3D vision enables robots to “see” in the carpentry industry
As in many industrial areas, automation is advancing in furniture production as well. One example of this is MAB Möbel AG from Switzerland: with the support of HOMAG Bohrsysteme GmbH and MVTec Software GmbH, this furniture manufacturer automated the loading process around a vertical CNC machining center with robotic handling. Using MVTec HALCON, a robot…
