What is a Vision Inspection System?
A vision inspection system is an automated technology that uses cameras, optics, lighting, sensors and software to visually inspect products or components during manufacturing. It detects defects, measures dimensions, reads codes or labels, checks alignment and verifies assembly, all in real time and at high speed.
Unlike human inspection, these systems offer consistent accuracy, often in the micron or submicron range, and can process hundreds or thousands of units per minute. They are widely used in sectors such as automotive, electronics, medical devices and packaging to guarantee zero-defect quality and enable data-driven process improvements.
Averna designs and integrates advanced optical and vision inspection systems that deliver unmatched speed and precision. Our real-time 2D and 3D inspection solutions operate down to the submicron and nanometer scale, with line-scan and laser profiling capabilities reaching resolutions as fine as 1.5 μm and speeds up to 600 meters per minute
Our Visions Inspection Systems Understand Your Product Line
Today's manufacturers are under pressure to meet microscopic tolerances while ramping up production. But manual inspection can't keep pace. The reason is simple: it's meticulous, energy-consuming work. Human fatigue is the result. Quality is at risk, and scaling problems lead to spiraling costs if production has to slow down.
This is where Averna's vision expertise changes the game. Our self-learning, high-speed vision systems eliminate variability, detect defects invisible to the human eye and ensure precise alignment of components. Our platforms tackle everything from ADAS camera modules, MEMS, µdisplays, VR devices, and dashboard components to die placement, molded parts, micro mirrors, and glue dispensing.
Are you fighting against defect leakage and manual bottlenecks? We design integrated, automated solutions that deliver unrivalled precision. That's how we help you build with confidence and protect your brand.

Quality Control Vision Inspection and Optical Solutions Deliver Perfection
Powered by machine-learned vision processing, statistical image analysis, and technologies like photometric stereo 3D and spectroscopy, our Averna test systems evolve with your production. We can design and integrate anything from a one-camera inspection or measurement system to a fully automated vision-guided manufacturing solution.
To complement these capabilities, Averna Vision centralizes inspection results across stations, enabling real-time visualization, traceability, and feedback control. Whether analyzing stored images or capturing new ones in real time, it drives faster decisions and continuous improvement.
Application Areas of our High Speed Inspection Systems
Averna’s vision inspection platforms are engineered for the toughest quality demands. Our typical client applications include inspecting (confirming correct precision component assembly and features), positioning (determining exact DUT locations for testing), and classifying (verifying zero-defect quality while sorting and packing).
Feature & Defect Detection
Do you need to ensure the integrity of your products? Want to remove damaged or incomplete units from production? Our smart vision systems quickly identify, at speeds up to 1800 parts/minute, all units with flaws or missing features before they can hurt your brand.
Measurement & Identification
With 1D, 2D, and 3D metrology tools built into our turnkey platforms, we deliver submicron-level precision to validate dimensions, clearances, and geometric tolerances. Integrated OCR/OCV and barcode scanning ensure correct labeling, logos, serial numbers, and traceability across your production flow.
Physical Alignment & Positioning
Our vision-guided systems precisely align and position components or probes using stereo 3D imaging and calibrated motion control. Ideal for applications like MEMS actuator alignment, silicon die handling, and sensor positioning, they ensure downstream test and assembly accuracy.
Color Analysis & Display Validation
We combine spectral and hyperspectral imaging with specially designed illumination systems to validate AR/VR displays, backlit dashboards, and imaging devices. These systems ensure color fidelity, brightness uniformity, and pixel accuracy—critical for consumer electronics and automotive interiors.
Active Alignment & Verification
Our fully automated active alignment solutions use closed-loop vision and motion control to align and assemble high-value components such as µdisplays, camera modules, inkjet heads, HID lamps, and optical sensors. With real-time feedback and micron-level precision, they ensure optimal performance in the final product.
Vision-Guided Manufacturing
At dozens of global manufacturing sites, clients rely on our vision-based systems to guide assembly, sorting, probing and gluing processes, and verify top product quality in automotive, medical, consumer and other sectors.
