Eyes on your line

Find and fix issues with the manufacturing optimization system that does it all:

  • Capture images of every unit at key assembly states, with your cameras or ours.
  • Set up your own AI tests to inspect defects in minutes – with as little as 30 units.
  • Control production with real-time pass/fail judgement, dashboards, and alerts.
  • Read more about failure analysis on our blog.

Do more than pass/fail judgement

Better products, processes, and bottom lines

Instrumental enables remote work in development and production.

  • Engineers travel less and spend more time solving problems with remote access to unit images, monitors that catch unknown defects, and data that checks on corrective actions.
  • Operations gains control over yield with production reports of defect rates, spikes in issues, and threshold alerts – enabling process shift to be addressed proactively.

Other vision systems

  • Long deployments with systems integrators (and additional fees)
  • Limited access to images, creating barriers to remote work
  • AI that requires training with over 1,000 units and dedicated management
  • Additional AI tests and training for every issue failure mode
  • Real-time pass/fail judgement

Instrumental

  • Up and running in one day or less, no systems integrators required
  • Full access to image data record from anywhere and easy virtual teardowns
  • AI you can set up in minutes, with zero machine learning background and just 30 units
  • Discover new issues with multiple failure modes using the same AI test
  • Real-time pass/fail judgement

Without Instrumental, we would not have found the issues on time – some of them we would have never found [until our customers did].
