HxGN Visual Detection

HxGN Visual Detection is an automated surface inspection application capable of detecting defects across a wide range of materials such as glass, metal, plastics, ceramics and textiles. It uses advanced AI to quickly learn from just a few sample images featuring a range of defects. The software can be deployed to support a wide range of use cases and can manage high-speed throughput within a large manufacturing cell or when checking small numbers of high value components during a proof of concept.

Create new inspection plans in just a few clicks via an intuitive, user-friendly interface based on Hexagon’s common UI design. Quickly draw rectangles or polygons around defects in training images and apply labels. Access quality reports for full details on defect location, size and classification. The HTML formatted quality reports are easy to share with colleagues and stakeholders.

Beneath the surface

Surface is the primary indicator of quality. The cost of poor quality (CoPQ) is a constant issue for many manufacturers. Product recalls and rework impact revenue. Brand reputation and commercial relationships suffer when businesses fail to detect surface defects.

Setting up a vision system to identify scratches or flaws often mandates expensive projects and bespoke coding to configure the system for a specific part. HxGN Visual Detection significantly reduces the time and costs associated with establishing quality control checks by harnessing the power of machine learning to quickly understand the difference between normal and abnormal surfaces, and then identify them in-line, near-line or off-line.

In any industry or application where surface integrity or surface finish is essential, HxGN Visual Detection gives you the automation, accuracy and speed to reduce waste, improve profitability and stay ahead of the competition.

  • Reduce waste by correcting errors faster 
  • Fast to deploy, easy to train 
  • Flexible to meet specific manufacturing needs
  • Simple to use, with minimal operator training
  • Rapid quality control with machine learning powered defect identification 
  • Integrated with an existing ecosystem of Hexagon products
