Powered by Qualcomm Technology
Advanced compute, AI acceleration and multi-gigabit connectivity allow the system to handle complex edge AI workloads while staying power-efficient.
Comprehensive Vision Tool Library
Edge AI Tools
Pre-trained AI models make deployment fast and simple, requiring only a few training images. Ideal for standard inspections such as defect detection, classification, assembly verification and OCR.
Advanced AI Tools
Configurable, customisable AI models tackle complex inspections with high variability, subtle defects or highly specific requirements. Ideal for high-precision machine vision in demanding manufacturing environments. *Available on OneVision – enabled models
Rule-Based Tools
Industry-proven rule-based vision tools for precise, deterministic applications. Ideal for measurement, blob analysis, pixel counting, pattern matching, 1D/2D code reading, robotic guidance and logic operations.
Optimised Imaging Built to Capture Every Detail
SurfaceFX feature extraction
Advanced feature extraction isolates subtle surface defects while reducing background noise, reflections and glare. Multi-directional shadow analysis ensures reliable inspections even on complex or textured surfaces.
HDR+ technology
High-Dynamic Range Plus (HDR+) automatically balances exposure to create uniform, high-contrast images in a single acquisition.
- Enhanced Depth-of-Field: Keeps parts in focus across varying heights, outperforming conventional sensors.
- 80% Faster Exposure Times: Speeds up inspections on ultra-high-speed production lines to maintain throughput.
- No Added Acquisition Time: Accelerated processing delivers enhanced performance without slowing down inspections.
Multi-Colour lighting
Optimised multi-colour lighting improves contrast in challenging environments, including low-light conditions, glare and low-contrast surfaces. One-click colour switching makes it easy to capture higher quality images and achieve more accurate inspections with minimal setup.
High-speed, high-accuracy inspections across all industries
The In-Sight 3900 AI-powered machine vision delivers fast, accurate inspections – from simple quality checks to complex industrial automation – across high-throughput production lines in any industry.
