Hexagon
Application
Software for analysing and visualising industrial CT and NDT data, from reconstruction to GD&T, material analysis and simulation, with AI-based segmentation of CT data.
No-code software for training AI segmentation models on a customer's own labelled industrial CT datasets, run on-premises and applied to datasets in VGSTUDIO MAX and VGinLINE.
Automated CT inspection software for production lines: it brings VGSTUDIO MAX analysis and AI-supported segmentation to the shop floor for in-line, at-line and sample inspection with minimal manual input.
Nikon
Application
3D CT-reconstruction and scanning software for Nikon Metrology's industrial X-ray and CT systems, used for defect detection and dimensional inspection in electronics, additive-manufacturing, aerospace and automotive quality control. Its AI Reconstruction feature automates image enhancement to speed up scans and improve defect detection.
AI-powered software for Nikon's XT H-series X-ray CT systems that measures anode overhang in lithium-ion battery cells in 3D, faster and more precisely than manual slice inspection.
NIS.ai extends NIS-Elements with AI tools for image acquisition, visualization and analysis.
