Silicon Valley machine vision AI company offering self-learning Eyebot inspection systems for factory quality control.
Sightech Vision Systems is a California manufacturer of self-learning machine vision systems for quality inspection and factory automation. Founder Art Gaffin, now chairman and CEO, began developing the technology in the early 1980s in Silicon Valley; nine prototype generations had been built by 1995, and the first commercial Eyebot was released in 1997 with co-founder Brad Smallridge. The company, which describes itself as born and raised in Silicon Valley, is now based in Modesto, California.
The products are built on the patented Neuro-RAM engine, a learning architecture modeled on the way yellow jackets perceive and navigate with very little neural capacity. Instead of being programmed, an Eyebot is shown good and defective parts and extracts up to 20 million small visual features per second, storing their relationships in a feature database; in operation it evaluates about 12 million features per second and issues up to 60 pass/fail decisions per second, recognizes parts in cluttered backgrounds and learns rotating objects within minutes. Systems need no frame grabber and in some cases no trigger or strobe. Models include PC-Eyebot and the PC-Eject reject-control module, TheVisionCheck with a NEMA-4 enclosure, built-in PLC and touchscreen, TheSealCheck for verifying heat-seal thermal footprints on packaging, TheBubbleCheck for spotting leaks from pressurized vessels, and TheLabelCheck for label verification.
Sightech names Unilever, Sylvania, IBM and Procter & Gamble among its customers.
