Kitov.ai
Winner of the Vision Award 2022
Kitov.ai wins the Vision Award 2022 with its CAD2SCAN software.
CAD-based automatic inspection planning simplifies the setup of robotic inspection systems and enables full automation of production inspection. Both the Kitov Core inspection systems and the associated software solutions are distributed by ATEcare in the DACH region. CAD2SCAN is the latest feature of the Kitov Smart Planner. The combination of CAD2SCAN with Kitov's automated planning and inspection software platform is designed to allow customers to manually program and deploy difficult and time-consuming inspection solutions.
The function automatically extracts the specific geometric and semantic information for the inspection requirements marked in CAD. This is then forwarded to the detectors to perform the inspection tasks. In addition to the built-in semantic detectors such as surface, label, screw and existence detectors, the software platform enables the integration of additional third-party detectors. Robot movements and the number of images required can be reduced and the overall inspection time minimized.
The CAD2SCAN technology is implemented as a plugin for common CAD software systems and currently corresponds with SolidWorks and Creo. The software also supports the developing ISO standard QIF (Quality Information Framework) and can analyze the visual inspection requirements embedded in it.
