Transform-CV is a COTS turnkey, deep learning-based computer vision solution designed for manufacturing inspection and automation. Developed in partnership between ADS and RADX Technologies, it delivers real-time, high-accuracy image analysis for tasks such as defect detection, measurement, and sorting, thereby helping manufacturers cut costs, improve productivity, and enhance quality assurance.

Moreover, Transform-CV is easily trained and fully compatible with standard hardware, running on PXIe and PCIe platforms equipped with NVIDIA GPUs under Windows or Linux. As a result, it offers seamless integration, rapid deployment, and scalable performance across diverse QA applications, empowering organizations to achieve smarter, faster, and more reliable inspection processes.

Applications

How the Transform-CV Can Help You

Real-Time Defect Analysis

Accurately and repeatable detect and classify a wide range of visible and microscopic defects on a variety of UUTs.

Real-Time Dimensional Analysis

Accurately and repeatable identify dimension features and defects that range in size from cms to microns.

Real-Time Component Classification

Accurately and repeatable verify the presence and location of specified components, labels, and other key assembly items.

Benefits

Performance & Repeatabiity

Faster throughput with superior accuracy and consistency vs. manual inspection.

Easy-to-Use

Intuitive interface and seamless integration with popular manufacturing software.

Flexible

Scalable COTS optics, AI, and GPU support for diverse applications and budgets.

Low TCO

COTS components and user-driven training cut costs vs. proprietary CV systems.

How it Works

Comparison of Transform-CV vs. Conventional Rule-based System for adding a new feature or defects. Traditional computer vision solutions rely on rule-based deployment processes, which can be time-consuming rigid. ADS offers an AI-powered approach that significantly improves both the accuracy of visual inspection, enabling faster deployment and more adaptive quality assurance.
