Mitsubishi Electric has introduced MELSOFT VIXIO, an AI-powered visual inspection software, designed to transform quality assurance processes across industries. The software provides advanced defect detection while being accessible to users without programming expertise.
MELSOFT VIXIO leverages artificial intelligence to perform real-time product inspections, comparing images of items against pre-learned datasets of acceptable and defective products. Through a series of processes—learning, image processing, decision-making, and continuous improvement—the software ensures that only products meeting quality standards proceed further in the manufacturing pipeline. By automating primary screenings, it allows human inspectors to focus on tasks requiring deeper expertise, enhancing overall efficiency and accuracy.
According to Daniel Sperlich, Strategic Product Manager Controllers at Mitsubishi Electric, Factory Automation EMEA, “Our visual inspection software transforms the inspection process, making it more accurate and efficient. It performs the heavy lifting of primary screenings, identifying potential defects with unmatched precision. Doing so liberates human inspectors to focus on what truly matters—ensuring that only the finest products reach the hands of consumers.”
Designed with ease of use in mind, MELSOFT VIXIO eliminates the need for traditional coding. Users can configure the software through a low-code interface, streamlining processes such as creating image datasets, training the AI model, and setting up inspection tasks. This makes it accessible to both experienced engineers and those new to automation technologies.
The software targets industries such as automotive, food and beverage, and life sciences, aiming to improve productivity while reducing waste and energy consumption. As it rolls out across the EMEA region, MELSOFT VIXIO positions itself as a tool for companies seeking to enhance their inspection processes and maintain high-quality standards in manufacturing.
