KOMPASS AI checks every component on every assembly, for presence, position and the right variant, through the cameras you already have — no missing clips, no mirrored parts, no unit reaching test with something left out, just builds that are complete the first time.
Assembly errors are errors of action: something omitted, something substituted, something done out of sequence. None of them announce themselves. Nothing on the line tells the operator it happened.
Our Cognitive Product Inspection system, KOMPASS™, paired with modular vision hardware, checks every component on every assembly as it passes, tells near-identical parts apart, and keeps an image record of what was actually fitted to each unit.

We walk your stations, confirm camera and lighting coverage, and scope the components, variants and build lists for verification.
The model trains on your actual assemblies and your actual variants, with 20 samples per defect, not a generic parts library.
Verification runs in shadow mode beside your current end-of-line check, then goes live on your reject gate once accuracy is confirmed. Deployment takes 6–8 weeks.
Bring your hardest-to-see component and your busiest mixed-model line. We will scope a pilot on your line.

Right the first time, every shift
Assembly verification checks that a finished or part-built unit carries every component it should, in the right position and the right variant. A vision system inspects each assembly as it passes, compares it to the build list, and flags anything missing, misplaced or substituted before the unit moves on.
The model learns what a complete assembly looks like from your own units, then flags any build that deviates. Because it learns the whole assembly rather than a rule per part, it catches components that are absent, loose, unseated or fitted in the wrong position, on every unit at line speed.
Yes, and this is where rule-based vision struggles. Mirrored left and right parts, variants of the same bracket, different fastener grades: KOMPASS learns each from your samples and separates them on visual features an operator would need to stop and check, without slowing the line down to do it.
Instructions guide the operator through the build; verification checks the result. NAGARE puts the step in front of the operator and confirms the action; KOMPASS inspects the assembled unit and confirms the components are there and correct. Most plants run both, one at the station and one on the line.
Yes. Each variant is trained from your own samples rather than programmed as a rule set, so adding a model means adding examples, not rewriting the inspection. The system identifies which variant is in front of it and applies that build list, which is what makes mixed-model lines workable.
KOMPASS runs on the cameras already over your stations, in-line or at end-of-line. It connects to PLCs, robots and conveyors, actuates reject gates and Andon alerts inside the dwell time, feeds MES and ERP for traceability, and runs at the edge with your data staying on-site.
