Defect Visual Inspection is the process of checking production lines for any defects (a shortcoming or imperfection) on products. For many years this process was entirely manual and relied heavily on a member or even multiple members of staff to check every single product on a production line.
In more recent times, technological and artificial intelligence advancements have meant that Defect Visual Inspections have become much more automated in many cases and as a result, the visual inspection industry is expected to reach a market value of $25.5bn by 2027.
Are you looking to automate your visual inspections and improve the efficiency of your operation? Maybe you’ve already explored some options but have simply been priced out by the existing solutions on the market, or you’ve been put off by the complexity of the setup on existing solutions. Thankfully, Avnet Silica’s AI-based solution removes complexity and is cheaper compared to existing solutions on the market!
An introduction to Avnet Silica's DVI solution
How does it work?
We use the “Defect Visual Inspection” (DVI) software library, together with a System-on-Module (SOM).
Once purchased, you simply take a few photos of your product (with no imperfections) via the software library. The system then goes through a short phase of learning before being able to spot defects in your production line, with very high accuracy.
Why should I choose Avnet Silica’s solution?
Our solution is perfect for those looking to deploy a DVI solution quickly, without the need for knowledge of deploying machine learning solutions. The beauty of our solution is that it removes all complexity that you’ll more than likely find with other machine learning solutions. Here are just a few other benefits of the Avnet Silica solution:
- Higher accuracy and less errors with automated visual inspection instead of human inspection
- No machine learning expertise or human resources required
- Easy to use & quick setup time, only 10-30 “good” samples of objects or surfaces are sufficient
- Compact solution with AI on the edge (capture images, train AI, find anomalies)
- Complete product with all components (software library, module, camera & lens, carrier card, etc.)
- Cost-effective and cheaper than existing solutions

Webinar: Revolutionising Visual Quality Control
Discover the transformative power of Defect Visual Inspection (DVI) technology in a quality control environment. We'll delve into the core functional features of a powerful visual inspection system employing computer vision and artificial intelligence. It is all at the edge, to keep the quality control right there where the sensor is on industrial embedded devices and to preserve data privacy and industrial secrets by keeping your data localised. Witness DVI in action with a live demonstration, showcasing its precision and efficiency in defect detection across various industries. We'll also provide insights into how to acquire and implement DVI, whether through a kit, SOM (system on module), or software.
