A scratch on a smartphone 📱, a crack in a wafer, a misprint on packaging – small defects, big impact. Every industry shares the same challenge: customers expect perfection. But many flaws are too small or too fast for manual inspection. 🎯 The answer? Machine vision. From electronics to automotive, pharma to food – it detects scratches, cracks, contamination, or misprints. Fast. Precise. Scalable. One technology. Countless applications – for better quality, less waste, and stronger trust. #MachineVision #QualityAssurance #MVTec

🎓 Celebrating Academic Excellence in Computer Vision We are proud to congratulate Dr. Paul-Edouard Sarlin, recipient of the DAGM MVTec Dissertation Award 2025, for his outstanding PhD work at ETH Zurich. Paul-Edouard Sarlin’s dissertation, entitled “On Learning and Geometry for Visual Localization and Mapping,” pioneers a powerful hybrid paradigm, integrating deep learning with 3D geometry for tasks like image matching, structure-from-motion, and pose estimation. His innovative methods advance robust visual localization and mapping. This impactful research, amplified through widely adopted open-source software, benefits robotics, AR/VR, and large-scale mapping globally. At MVTec, we are committed to supporting young researchers and fostering innovation at the intersection of academia and industry. Through our collaboration with DAGM, we proudly recognize research that shapes the future of machine vision. #AcademicExcellence #ComputerVision #MVTec #MachineVision #ResearchAward #DAGMaward

🚀 MERLIC 5.8 is ready to take the next step More clarity, more stability, more connectivity – MERLIC 5.8 brings key enhancements to machine vision. 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: Improved process stability through enhanced error handling MERLIC 5.8 improves process reliability of the entire machine vision application by extending the Image Source Manager (ISM) with advanced error detection. It now monitors for missed trigger signals, detects when images are dropped or when the device connection is lost. Depending on the used trigger and processing mode, MERLIC will now handle these events accordingly. Users benefit from higher system stability, early identification of acquisition issues, and more consistent performance across their machine vision applications.

What’s the real cost of a missed defect❓ It’s not just one faulty part. It can mean hours of downtime, entire batches scrapped, and worst of all customers losing trust. The truth is: Defects are getting smaller. Production lines are getting faster. And human eyes, no matter how skilled, can’t keep up. This is where machine vision changes the game. It doesn’t blink. It doesn’t tire. It detects the tiniest crack, scratch, or misalignment at full speed. The impact? Consistent quality, less waste, and greater confidence in every product leaving the line. In today’s market, catching every defect isn’t a “nice-to-have.” It’s survival.
