IRIS Foundry · Vision AI

See defects, anomalies, and hazards as they happen

Manual inspection is limited in scope and prone to error. IRIS Vision AI applies AI and machine vision to CCTV footage, drone imagery, photographs, and live video to detect defects, equipment anomalies, and safety issues in real time, and ties what it sees to the rest of your plant data in IRIS Foundry.

Visual data is the richest signal in the plant and the least used

Cameras already watch lines, equipment, and work areas, but nobody can watch every feed. Manual inspections are limited in scope and prone to error, and what they see rarely connects to time series and work orders. Vision AI turns unstructured images and video into structured data your teams can act on.

From camera feed to corrective action

Vision AI processes high-definition CCTV footage, aerial drone imagery, high-resolution photographs, and real-time video streams. It identifies product anomalies, equipment issues, and safety deviations as they appear, and it speeds detection, notification, and response.

Image and video data join the structured data model in IRIS Foundry, so what the cameras see sits alongside time series, work orders, and other plant data. Teams get one view of process, asset, and product state.

How Vision AI turns footage into action

From the camera feed to the fix, every step runs on the same IRIS Foundry data foundation.

Use the cameras you already have

Vision AI works from high-definition CCTV footage, aerial drone imagery, high-resolution photographs, and live video streams, so inspection coverage grows without someone watching every feed.

Catch defects as they happen

Automated inspection checks more often than manual rounds and finds product anomalies and deviations faster. It also counts items, takes measurements, and verifies components against tolerances, down to sub-millimeter dimension and geometry checks.

Spot failing equipment and unsafe conditions

Subtle changes in how machinery looks or performs flag potential failures before a breakdown. Continuous monitoring of safety protocols surfaces hazards, so teams step in before an incident.

Image and video data join time series, work orders, and other plant data in the IRIS Foundry data model. Teams get one view of process, asset, and product state instead of a separate camera system.

What teams do with Vision AI

One platform covers inspection, maintenance, safety, and compliance.

Catch defects early

Automated quality control raises inspection frequency over manual checks and finds product anomalies and deviations faster, so teams cut scrap and rework.

Predict equipment failures

Subtle changes in machinery performance or appearance flag potential failures, so repairs happen before breakdowns, downtime shrinks, and equipment lasts longer.

Questions about Vision AI

Straight answers for quality, operations, and IT teams evaluating AI vision for industrial inspection.

What is IRIS Vision AI?

An AI and machine vision capability on IRIS Foundry that automates and improves visual inspection. It replaces limited, error-prone manual checks with real-time, high-precision defect detection and classification.

What images and video does it use?

High-definition CCTV footage, aerial drone imagery, high-resolution photographs, and real-time video streams.

What does it detect?

Product defects and deviations, equipment anomalies that signal possible failure, and safety or protocol issues. It also counts items, takes measurements, and verifies components against tolerances.

How does it connect to the rest of our data?

Image and video data are integrated into the structured data model in IRIS Foundry, so what the cameras see sits alongside time series, work orders, and other plant data.

How does it support predictive maintenance?

It picks up subtle changes in machinery performance or appearance that point to potential failure, so repairs are scheduled before breakdowns. That reduces downtime and extends equipment life.

How are privacy and security handled?

Privacy safeguards protect the identities and information of people and businesses in visual data, and security measures guard Visual AI systems against cyber threats and unauthorized access. Ethical use and bias mitigation are part of the approach.
