Medabsy’s virtual machine vision platform is changing the narrative and enabling the systems to be designed virtually — choosing commercial cameras, lenses, and lights, and optimizing their placement relative to the inspected object before any hardware is installed. Once the system is designed, a natural step is to simulate photorealistic, perfectly labelled synthetic datasets, with full control over defect types, product and defect appearance variation and edge-cases. The result: AI training can begin before hardware is installed, cutting development time by up to 90% and eliminating the traditional bottlenecks of data collection and system setup
