KOMPASS AI measures every part as it runs, length, diameter, thickness, gap and flush, through the cameras you already have — no sampling, no queue at the CMM, no drift found a batch too late, just parts measured and recorded as they leave the line.
Dimensional checks are the ones most often sampled, because gauging by hand is slow and the queue for the CMM is long. The parts between samples go out unmeasured, and drift gets found after the batch rather than during it.
Our Cognitive Product Inspection system, KOMPASS™, paired with modular vision hardware, measures each part as it passes, compares every dimension against your drawing tolerance, and keeps the numbers and the image for every part that shipped.

We walk your line, confirm camera, optics and lighting against your tolerance band, and scope the parts and dimensions to measure.
The model is set up on your own parts and your own measurement points, against the drawing tolerances you actually hold. Training uses 20 samples per defect.
Measurement runs in shadow mode beside your current gauging and CMM results, then goes live on your reject gate once it agrees with them. Deployment takes 6–8 weeks.
Bring your tightest tolerance and your highest-volume part. We will scope a pilot on your line.

It is measuring parts on the production line as they run, rather than pulling samples to a gauge or a metrology room. A vision system captures each part, measures the dimensions you specify, compares them against your drawing tolerance, and passes or rejects the part before it moves on.
No. A CMM is a precision instrument for first-article approval, tight-tolerance features and calibration work, and it stays. KOMPASS covers what a CMM cannot: every part, at line speed, on the dimensions that drift in production. Most plants run both, with the CMM measuring less because sampling matters less.
It depends on the optics, the field of view and how consistently the part presents itself, not on a single headline number. That is why the line audit measures your parts against your tolerance band before anything is quoted, and why shadow mode runs against your existing gauging results before go-live.
Yes, and it is the child use case with the most demand behind it. Gap width and panel flushness are measured between adjacent parts as they pass, which is what makes fit-and-finish problems visible during the build rather than at the end-of-line audit or in a customer complaint.
Defect and surface inspection asks whether the part is damaged: scratches, dents, cracks, contamination. This page asks whether the part is the right size: length, diameter, thickness, gap. A part can pass one and fail the other, and the same camera position can often check both.
KOMPASS runs on the cameras already over your line. It connects to PLCs, robots and conveyors, actuates reject gates within the dwell time, feeds measurements into SPC, MES and ERP rather than a spreadsheet, and runs at the edge with your data staying on-site.
