About
SwitchOn DeepInspect is an advanced AI-driven visual inspection solution built specifically for manufacturing environments. Leveraging cutting-edge computer vision and deep learning, it automates quality assurance processes that traditionally rely on manual human inspection—eliminating errors, reducing costs, and enabling zero-defect production lines. The platform supports rapid deployment, allowing manufacturers to train a new SKU model and set up an inspection pipeline in under 45 minutes. DeepInspect achieves 99.95%+ accuracy in detecting defects as small as 150 microns, even in high-speed production environments running at 1,000+ parts per minute. DeepInspect serves multiple industries including automotive (soldering, surface, and assembly defects), pharmaceuticals (capping, broken tablets, contamination), consumer goods (surface defects at high speed), and electronics (component and PCB-level defects). The system is designed for zero line-stop operation, ensuring continuous production without interruption. Key measurable outcomes reported by customers include over 50% reduction in the cost of poor quality and 100% customer satisfaction scores. The platform is backed by top-tier investors and has been featured in major industry publications. SwitchOn's team provides 24/7 support from trial through full implementation, making it a comprehensive end-to-end quality automation solution for discrete manufacturers.
