We build real-time inspection and manufacturing-intelligence systems for mass-pack production—especially aluminium cans and glass bottles. Our software turns images from multi-camera rigs into on-line decisions and integrates with PLCs, SCADA, and MES to close the loop on the line.
In 2025 alone, LuxTronic systems inspected over 6.4 billion units in live, high-speed production environments across aluminium can and glass bottle lines worldwide.
LuxTronic designs real-time, high-throughput inspection systems for high-volume manufacturing:
- Aluminium Cans: dents/dings, rim/neck deformation, flange damage, varnish/print defects, internal coating, ends & tabs (score, rivet, curl)
- Glass Bottles: finish/neck cracks, base checks, inclusions, sidewall cracks, contamination, blister/cord/stones
- 360° Vision Rigs: multi-camera area/line-scan, strobed lighting, sub-ms triggering, deterministic reject timing
- Edge AI Systems: sub-millisecond inference across Jetson/x86; optimized pipelines with deterministic latency
- Industrial Integration: encoders, digital I/O, rejecters; OPC UA / MQTT / Modbus; PLC, SCADA, MES connectivity
Our systems produce rich defect tracking and per-unit lineage (time, lane, turret/mold/cavity) and feed into SPC dashboards, trend analytics, and automated response logic.
The following LuxTronic systems each exceeded 100 million inspections in live production, with several operating well into the hundreds of millions to multi-billion range:
| System | Description | Total Inspections |
|---|---|---|
| FinishPRO | Hyper-detailed glass bottle rim quality | 118M |
| CasePerfect | Verify case packing and completeness | 232M |
| Sidewall | Glass bottle and jar side inspection | 451M |
| MassIntell | Total line monitoring, tracking, and unit counts | 777M |
| WashGuard | Verify every unit's correct orientation before washing | 2.3B |
| UVBC | Inspection unit coatings invisible to the naked eye | 2.5B |
We build for reliability, speed, and production constraints:
- Computer Vision: OpenCV, segmentation, detection, cylindrical unwrap, 360° registration
- AI / ML: PyTorch, TensorRT, ONNX Runtime, classical ML for rare-event detection
- Edge Acceleration: Jetson, embedded GPUs, x86 inference pipelines, zero-copy video IO
- Industrial Protocols: OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, deterministic I/O
- Quality Intelligence: defect lineage, trend modeling, SPC integration, root-cause analytics
