Evolution of Visual Inspection
Traditional Machine Vision
Traditional Machine Vision systems have replaced many manual inspection processes. But these rule-based systems face many limitations that impact production:
- High false call rates
- Secondary inspections
- Controlled environments
- Limited data tracking
Standard AI Platforms
Many AI Platforms have overcome the limitations of rule-based systems. But most AI platforms require a significant amount of data, resulting in:
- Long training cycles
- Significant investment
- Pilot purgatory

Testimonials
We have been using Lincode’s AI-based solution in our facility for the last 3 years and have observed a drastic improvement in performance:
- Inspection cycle time reduced from over 60 seconds to just 5 seconds per unit.
- False call rate reduced from approximately 30% to less than 3%, greatly improving accuracy and process reliability.
The ease of programming and flexibility of the system are the features we value most. Engineers can easily set up and teach the system using just a few sample images, eliminating the need for time-consuming programming typically required in rule-based systems. This makes the system highly adaptable and user-friendly.
Compared to other inspection systems, Lincode’s LIVIS system delivers lower false call rates and much better adaptability to product-specific needs. It is by far the best solution we have used for customized inspection requirements across a variety of products.

As pioneers in visual quality inspection using AI, Lincode has helped us solve many challenges in BIW automation lines where traditional vision systems fail to support our applications. The Lincode team is highly flexible to our requirements and has extended their services beyond the initial specifications to help solve the problems on-site.
Rajsekhar Jaypal, AVP, Welding Systems
DiFACTO Robotics and Automation
Since we started using the Lincode inspection system, we’ve had a significant increase in productivity. The system can detect defects in the bolt no matter how the part is placed, along with missing pins. This has reduced our manual efforts and increased operator efficiency. We are very satisfied with the system and will certainly work with Lincode on other projects.
Andreas Nußmüller, Managing Director

We are into Robotic Integration, Robotic Simulation, Robotic Programming and Robotic Onsite training. We know Lincode from the past 2 years who are into vision inspection with AI and Deep Learning. We are amazed with the technology they are using with basic cameras and using AI which is far, far ahead of the conventional imaging process. They have a wonderful software team and with them we are integrating the vision system to any brand of robots. So basically we want to use their expertise and associate with them for robotic-based inspection systems and place with the help of vision and vision-based tracking systems.
