FAQs
1. What qualifies a platform as "no-code" for AI visual inspection?
No-code AI visual inspection platforms provide drag-and-drop interfaces, automated annotation tools, and model training UI that eliminate programming. Users create robot vision system workflows through visual builders, configure AI models using sample images, and deploy automated defect detection without coding expertise or machine learning knowledge.
2. How many images do these tools need per defect class?
Most low-code vision inspection tools require only 20-50 labeled images per defect type to achieve 99%+ accuracy. This minimal data approach enables rapid zero-code deployment compared to traditional systems requiring hundreds of images, with active learning capabilities improving visual AI inspection performance continuously through operator feedback.
3. Can these platforms run at the edge or do they need cloud connectivity?
Yes, robot vision system platforms like Averroes, LIVIS, and Matroid support edge inference, on-premises, or cloud deployments for low-latency processing. Edge deployment ensures data privacy, eliminates network dependencies, and enables real-time automated defect detection critical for high-speed production lines requiring immediate responses.
