What surfaces can a camera inspect?
FactoryVision’s stated boundaries are:
- Cannot see defects inside the material.
- Cannot see the back of a part without a second camera.
- Cannot measure finer than about 0.1 mm with sensible optics.
- Cannot inspect shiny or transparent parts without lighting work.
- Excludes continuous processes such as extrusion.
These boundaries help decide whether the system fits your production.
A camera can inspect the visible face of a part. It cannot see defects inside the material or inspect the back of a part without a second camera.
Before choosing a camera position, identify the parts and surfaces you want to count or inspect. If the back of a part also needs inspection, discuss that requirement when planning the setup.
What are the limits of camera-based measurement?
FactoryVision cannot measure finer than about 0.1 mm with sensible optics.
For dimensional inspection, bring the required dimensions and tolerances to the introductory call so they can be evaluated during setup planning.
Shiny and transparent parts need lighting work
FactoryVision cannot inspect shiny or transparent parts without lighting work. If your parts have those properties, include them in the setup discussion along with the surfaces you need to inspect.
Discrete parts, not continuous extrusion
FactoryVision counts finished, discrete parts. Continuous processes such as extrusion are outside its scope.
Its stated best fit is factories with 10 to 100 machines making countable, discrete parts.
What FactoryVision does
A camera at each machine counts finished work against the day’s target. FactoryVision shows counts by station and shift, linked to an order. It also supports visual checks, including measurement, inspection, presence, identification, trend and process monitoring.
FactoryVision is not an ERP, MES or SCADA system. It requires no sensors and no wiring into the machine. Its models run locally on a small computer in your factory, and your footage stays in your building.
FactoryVision runs in a working Turkish door and furniture factory.
Questions to bring to the call
- Which machines make discrete parts you want to count?
- Which surfaces need inspection, including any back faces?
- Are the parts shiny or transparent?
- Which dimensions and tolerances matter?
- Does the process produce separate parts, or is it continuous?

Frequently asked questions
What defects can a single camera not detect?
A single camera cannot see defects inside the material or inspect the back of a part without a second camera. It also cannot inspect shiny or transparent parts without dedicated lighting work.
What are the limits of camera-based measurement?
FactoryVision cannot measure finer than about 0.1 mm with sensible optics. Required dimensions and tolerances are evaluated during setup planning.
Which manufacturing processes does FactoryVision support?
FactoryVision supports facilities making countable, discrete parts, with a best fit for factories operating 10 to 100 machines. Continuous processes such as extrusion are outside its scope.
Does FactoryVision require machine wiring or sensors?
No. FactoryVision requires no sensors and no wiring into machines. Models run locally on a small computer in your factory, and footage stays in your building.
