Mobile-first

No fixtures, no dedicated cameras, no inspection station. Built to work in the operator's hands.

  • Any iPhone or iPad your team already owns
  • Collect training data, label, and inspect on one device
  • Ruggedized cases for demanding environments
  • Managed deployment through Apple Business Manager
  • Operators learn the workflow in minutes

Fast reconfiguration

In high-mix, low-volume manufacturing, every short run brings a different part. Traditional machine vision needs weeks of fixture tuning for each variant. Inventor keeps inspection live across changeovers.

  • 5 – 30 min

    new scenario for existing parts

  • 3 – 4 h

    new part within existing configuration

  • ~24 h

    new assembly or part family

  • ~1 week

    first or new custom deployment

Learned, not programmed

A cascade of purpose-trained models handles every stage from first-frame annotation to final inspection verdict. Every decision is learned from your data; nothing is hardcoded.

  • One-shot annotation: label a single frame, propagate to the full dataset
  • Custom-trained vision models for each component class
  • Transformer learns assembly configurations
  • Zone segmentation picks the model for each view
  • No-code interface links models to assembly lines

Replace paper logs with AR-anchored defect records

Manual defect logging

01.

One spatial record, shared across every crew.

Roboscope anchors each defect to the blade surface in AR at the moment of inspection. The coordinate persists — repair technicians open the same session and walk directly to the marked position.

02.

Defect found once. Referenced as many times as needed.

Five defects on a 70 m blade. Each located once during inspection, pinned in AR with ~5 cm accuracy, and available to every downstream operator without re-survey.

03.

Layup configuration accessible at the point of inspection.

Each defect marker is cross-referenced against the layup stack at that exact surface position. The technician reads ply sequence, material, and orientation without leaving the inspection location.

Manual defect logging
With Roboscope

01.

No shared coordinate system.

Inspector records position by tape measure and written description. Repair technician re-locates each defect independently on site. The finding does not transfer — only the report does.

02.

Found twice, logged once.

Five defects on a 70 m blade. Each located by the inspection crew, documented on paper, then located again by the repair crew. No persistent spatial reference between the two operations.

03.

The inspection record ends at the notebook.

Surface position is noted. Ply stack depth is not. The QMS receives a written description; the repair technician receives the same. Neither contains a coordinate that survives the handoff.

With Roboscope

AR defect registration

Anchors defect markers directly to physical surfaces using iPhone AR, capturing type, location, and dimensions in a single session.

  • ~5 cm

    AR placement accuracy

  • iOS

    native iPhone application

  • Single session

    Full inspection of one blade shell or web

Digital quality record

A complete, structured record for every defect: type, measurements, photos, and repair context. One inspection flow, nothing re-entered.

  • Capture defect type and parameters
  • Photograph each finding in context
  • Access contextual knowledge base
  • Log findings for audit and corrective action

Purpose-trained computer vision models

Detect and measure surface defects on wind turbine blades and other large industrial parts.

  • Classify defect type and severity
  • Calculate the affected area
  • Measure dimensions down to 3 mm
  • Validate repair quality against baseline
  • Verify circularity compliance
