The MV Pro Podcast - Uncovering Machine Vision

MidOpt's Georgy Das returns to the show to explain why AI-based defect detection is only as reliable as the light and optics feeding it.   MidOpt: midopt.com | linkedin.com/company/midwest-optical-systems Georgy Das: linkedin.com/in/georgydas VISION Stuttgart 2026: messe-stuttgart.de/vision/en

Allan Anderson spent a decade inside a machine vision manufacturer, watching distributors get it right and some get it wrong. In 2008 he left to build the one he thought was missing, and he has some fresh ideas about how to improve outcomes for end users.

We talk about using grounded synthetic data to rapidly deploy AI quality inspection in highly variable applications like shingles and fabrics. We also look further down the road into where these AI systems might be taking us for good or for ill.

We talk with Macnica Europe about how they help engineering teams go from chip selection to full system integration as vision, inference, and sensing converge in intelligent machines. We talk purpose-built edge AI accelerators, multi-modal sensing, and where edge AI projects can get stuck.   Josselin Vilpoux: linkedin.com/in/josselinvilpoux/ Sascha Zimmermann: linkedin.com/in/sascha-zimmermann-065639101/ Macnica Europe: macnica.com/eu | linkedin.com/company/macnica-atd-europe-1/

In this episode, we discuss how automated vision inspection is replacing manual rim quality checks on automotive production lines, what it takes to configure a system across different wheel models, and how the data collected during inspection can feed back into the manufacturing process to catch problems before they compound.   Philipp Franz: [email protected] | linkedin.com/in/philipp-franz-automotive-quality-control/ Eines Vision Systems: eines.com | [email protected] | linkedin.com/company/eines-quality-engineering-vision-systems | youtube.com/@einesvisionsystems4159 Webinar - The (R)Evolution of Wheel, Rim & Tire Quality Control: eines.com/event/the-revolution-of-wheel-rim-tire-quality-control
