Pixel-level quality inspection for industrial manufacturing

PIXIQA designs camera-based inspection systems that help manufacturers detect defects, validate geometry, and assess quality — with precision that matches your production demands.

Computer vision systems for part inspection

We build end-to-end inspection solutions — from imaging setup to deployed detection logic — tailored to your parts, defects, and production environment.

Defect detection

Identify scratches, cracks, burns, contamination, and surface anomalies automatically.

Dimensional & geometry checks

Measure edges, holes, angles, circularity, and alignment against tolerances.

Surface anomaly detection

Detect subtle texture variations, discoloration, waviness, or roughness issues.

Presence / absence verification

Confirm clips, pins, labels, inserts, or components are correctly placed.

Assembly validation

Verify that assembled parts meet specifications before shipping.

Traceability & image capture

Record inspection images per part for audit, analysis, and production traceability.

Custom inspection workflows

Tailored logic for your specific part types, defect criteria, and production line integration.

Built for real production environments

Plastic parts

Injection molded, extruded, or thermoformed components — flash, shorts, sink marks, warping.

Metal components

Machined, stamped, or cast parts — burrs, tool marks, corrosion, dimensional drift.

Transparent parts

Glass, acrylic, or clear plastics — bubbles, inclusions, scratches, optical defects.

Automotive suppliers

Tier 1–3 components requiring zero-defect targets and full traceability.

Electronics & connectors

Pin presence, solder quality, connector alignment, label verification.

Packaging

Seal integrity, label placement, fill levels, print quality, tamper checks.

Custom manufacturing

Unique parts, mixed materials, or specialized processes that need tailored inspection logic.

From feasibility to deployed inspection

01

Understand the part and defect criteria

We study your part geometry, materials, defect types, and quality standards to define what needs to be inspected.

02

Capture sample images and video

We collect representative samples including good parts, defective parts, and edge cases from your production.

03

Design lighting and camera setup

We select optics, lighting geometry, and resolution to maximize defect visibility and measurement accuracy.

04

Build detection and measurement logic

We develop algorithms — classical or AI-based — tuned for your specific defect types and tolerances.

05

Test with real production variation

We validate against production variability to ensure robust performance, not just lab results.

06

Deploy and iterate on-site

We install, integrate with your line, and refine until the system meets your throughput and accuracy targets.

Industrial-grade vision stack

Industrial cameras

Area scan, line scan, and 3D sensors matched to your inspection requirements.

Controlled lighting

Structured, backlit, coaxial, or dome lighting designed to reveal specific defect types.

Computer vision algorithms

Template matching, edge detection, blob analysis, and custom feature extraction.

AI defect detection

Deep learning models trained on your production data for complex or variable defects.

Edge processing

Local deployment on industrial PCs — no cloud dependency, low latency, full data control.

Dashboards & reporting

Real-time monitoring, defect statistics, shift reports, and trend visualization.

Factory integration

PLC communication, reject triggers, MES integration, and production line synchronization.

What we inspect

Scratches & burn marks on plastic

Surface defect detection on injection-molded parts using controlled lighting and texture analysis.

Hole position & shape verification

Dimensional checks on drilled or punched features — position, diameter, circularity tolerances.

Clips, pins & label presence

Verify that all required components are inserted, snapped, or applied before packaging.

Contamination & surface defects

Detect foreign particles, oil residue, discoloration, or texture anomalies on finished surfaces.

Reference image comparison

Compare each part against a golden reference to detect deviations in form, color, or pattern.

Edge & alignment measurement

Sub-pixel measurement of edges, straightness, parallelism, and angular alignment.

Practical computer vision for industrial quality

PIXIQA builds practical computer vision systems for manufacturers that need reliable part inspection, defect detection, and quality assessment. Based in Coimbra, Portugal, we combine imaging, lighting, and software to help production teams understand what can be inspected automatically — and how to deploy it reliably.

We evaluate feasibility with your real parts and defects. We do not promise perfect detection — we engineer systems that work within your production constraints and quality targets.
