Custom software and AI development
When standard software does not fit the task.
Industrial applications often need more than a camera and hardware.
Data has to be processed, results stored, machines connected, operator interfaces built or individual processes digitized.
VISIONTECHNIK supports the development of customer-specific software solutions.
Our focus is on applications around machine vision, industrial systems, automation and data processing.
Through our international development team we can also deliver software projects that go beyond classic industrial machine vision.
Machine vision software
Custom software can take over functions such as:
- camera control
- image acquisition
- image processing
- object detection
- measurement tasks
- OCR
- OCV
- barcode and DataMatrix evaluation
- quality inspection
- recipe management
- data logging
- visualization
- inspection statistics
Suitable camera SDKs, libraries and image processing methods can be integrated into a customer-specific software architecture.
Interfaces to machines and IT systems
A vision application rarely works in isolation.
Interfaces can therefore be developed to:
- PLCs
- databases
- REST APIs
- MES
- ERP systems
- existing software applications
- production databases
- cloud systems
- network devices
The goal is a stable flow of data between machine vision, machine and company systems.
Custom operator interfaces
An industrial user interface should show the information an operator actually needs.
Possible functions are:
- live image
- inspection result
- pass/fail
- defect image
- measured values
- recipe selection
- user management
- statistics
- production data
- parameters
- diagnostics
AI for industrial applications
Artificial intelligence can make sense where classic image processing algorithms reach their limits because of wide variant diversity or complex features.
Possible applications are:
- classification
- object detection
- segmentation
- anomaly detection
- intelligent OCR
- data analysis
Our position on this:
Not every application needs AI.
If a classic solution is simpler, more robust and more economical, it should be preferred.
Technology is not an end in itself for us.
AI assistants and chatbots
Our software expertise goes beyond machine vision.
Together with our international development team we can also build custom AI applications.
These include, for example:
- AI chatbots
- internal knowledge assistants
- technical product support
- intelligent document search
- sales assistants
- support assistants
- FAQ systems
- internal AI tools
An AI assistant can, for example, make existing documents, product information or internal knowledge searchable and easier to access.
Web applications and custom business software
Depending on the project, we can also develop:
- web applications
- internal company software
- dashboards
- backend systems
- APIs
- data platforms
- automation tools
- custom portals
- process digitalization
That lets us cover the software building blocks needed before or after the image processing itself.
A scalable development team
For larger development projects we can draw on an experienced international development team.
Different skills can be brought in depending on the task.
VISIONTECHNIK remains the central point of contact for coordinating the project.
How we work
1. Define the requirements
What should the software do? Who will use it? Which systems have to be connected?
2. Plan the architecture
We look at data flows, interfaces, user roles and technical constraints.
3. Develop
The developers and technologies needed are assembled to match the task.
4. Test
The relevant functions are verified before productive use.
5. Keep developing
The software can be extended later or adapted to new processes as needed.
Software that fits the task instead of off-the-shelf software
Our aim is not to sell as much custom development as possible.
If an existing standard solution does the job reliably, that may be the better choice.
Custom software is used where it genuinely adds value.
