Visual defect detection has traditionally been a costly and time-consuming operation. Now, by leveraging the immense power of artificial intelligence and machine learning, AI INSPECT from Mitutoyo allows everyday users to create simple, world-class defect detection solutions for visual inspection.
Mitutoyo has long been a worldwide leader in precision measuring instruments and solutions. Because we are committed to helping you achieve 100% defect-free products, we used artificial intelligence to develop a simple method for the complex problem of defect detection.
Advanced Features, Simple Workflow
AI INSPECT software uses modern deep learning convolutional networks to learn the visual differences between normal and defect pixels in any set of correlated images. The intuitive, guided workflow consists of the following six steps:
1) Import and Classify Images
User imports defects and nominal images into the application to create a project model
2) Defect Marking
User highlights image defects with easy-to-use marking tools
3) Training Setup
User is guided through the training setup process requiring no AI knowledge
4) Training
The AI inspection model is automatically created and optimized
5) Results and Thresholds
User reviews AI inspection results and adjusts suggested thresholds as desired
6) Export and Deploy
An AI model is optimized to detect defects on your parts and is ready for integration into your inspection system
The AI INSPECT Advantage
Easy to Use – No data science or software engineering knowledge needed
Minimal Training – Operators can be self-trained through a 25-minute demonstration video and embedded help files

Superior Image Processing – Provides robust compensation for brightness variation and out of focus inspection conditions
High Speed – Up to 2X faster inspection than other commercial products
No Additional Hardware – AI INSPECT works with your existing imaging systems
Cost-Efficient – Less expensive than comparable defect detection products
High Throughput – Supports up to 5.2MPx images for highthroughput, large area, or high resolution inspection
System Requirements
| RECOMMENDED | |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows 10 |
| CPU |
Intel Core i9 (Gen 9 or newer) 8 Cores, 16MB Cache or Intel Xeon Silver ≥8 Cores, ≥11MB Cache (e.g., 4108 or 4210 or newer) |
| CPU DRAM Memory | 16 GB |
| GPU |
We only support GPUs from NVIDIA released since about 2016 (Ampere, Pascal, or Turing microarchitecture).
NVIDIA GPU with ≥8GB Frame Buffer Memory (e.g., RTX 3080, RTX 2080 Ti, TITAN Xp). The GPU is the most important component in your computer. The GPU specification that is most important for AI training is the amount of memory. More GPU memory is faster. Note: If upgrading your GPU, ensure your computer power supply can support it. |
| Storage |
Solid State Drive (SSD) with ≥400GB of free space ≥ 3400 MB/s sequential read speed ≥ 2700 MB/s sequential write speed |
| Display | Full HD resolution of 1920x1080 pixels or larger |
| Power Supply | Power supply should be adequate to power the PC + GPU |
| MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS | |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows 10 |
| CPU |
Intel Core i5 (Gen 8 or newer) 6 Cores, 9MB Cache or Intel Xeon Bronze 6 Cores, 8.25MB Cache (e.g., 3204) |
| CPU DRAM Memory | ≥8 GB |
| GPU |
We only support GPUs from NVIDIA released since about 2016 (Ampere, Pascal, or Turing microarchitecture).
NVIDIA GPU with ≥6GB Frame Buffer Memory (e.g., RTX 2060, RTX 2070, RTX 2080, RTX 3060Ti) * For inference processing speed during inspection, the amount of memory is less important than the number of CUDA cores and the microarchitecture. |
| Storage |
Solid State Drive (SSD) with ≥200GB of free space ≥ 450 MB/s sequential read speed ≥ 400 MB/s sequential write speed * Slower mechanical Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is compatible, but discouraged |
| Display | Full HD resolution of 1920x1080 pixels or larger |
| Power Supply | Power supply should be adequate to power the PC + GPU |
