Visual quality control system NAVIS series

Overview
NAVIS is an automatic quality inspection system for electronic devices combining hardware integration, AI and traceability to perform repeatable, high‑coverage visual inspections. Devices are placed in a dedicated inspection envelope illuminated by high‑power white LEDs to create a uniform, diffuse light field. Multiple cameras capture images from several sides and results are stored and sent to the Factory Information System (FIS) for traceability.

How it works
NAVIS acquires multi‑side images with strategically positioned cameras (fixed or GigE) to ensure full coverage. The enclosed inspection volume and diffuse LED lighting maximise detection stability for surface defects, misalignments and missing components. Image processing and ML models evaluate conformity and log outcomes linked to serial identifiers.

Typical applications

• Automotive infotainment units
• Electronic control units (ECUs) and vehicle control units (VCUs)
• Safety and cockpit systems, domain controllers, meters
• Car navigation systems and industrial electronic modules

Available models / Variants

• NAVIS Dome — large dome for full 360° / six‑side inspection
• NAVIS TT (Turntable) — turntable topology for indexed multi‑angle capture
• NAVIS Slim — compact footprint for small devices or space‑constrained lines

Inspection capabilities & typical checks

• Labels, barcodes and housing integrity checks
• Antenna connectors and main connector pin inspection (alignment, presence, depth)
• Clips, pins alignment and depth verification
• Screws, springs presence and position checks
• Front panel buttons and keys verification
• Identification and reading of fuse values

Key features & benefits

• Designed for high‑volume production with optimized throughput for repetitive inspections
• Full integration capability: multi‑camera, PLC and factory system connectivity with minimal configuration
• AI/ML support for advanced defect detection and continuous improvement
• Graphical environment with drag‑and‑drop tools for customer configuration and ownership
• Scalable deployment across lines with centralized training and model distribution
• Traceability: inspection logs linked to serial numbers for audit and compliance

Proven results
Deployed in high‑volume industrial contexts, NAVIS supports large annual inspection volumes and decades of quality control experience to address critical quality requirements and reduce production failure costs.
