find & solve defects

Beyond Detection, We Find the Source

Conventional inspection processes rely on set rules, fixed thresholds, or sampling checkpoints. LuxTronic is the alternative.

Our systems:

  • Help spot the origin of defect patterns upstream
  • Learn variation, not just pass/fail: subtle changes that signal process drift
  • Collect all relevant data like severity, time, and location of the issues

flexible implementation

Two ways to Deploy LuxTronic

Every production line is different. That’s why LuxTronic can be implemented in two ways, depending on whether you already have image capture in place. Both options deliver the same AI-powered inspection and data intelligence. The only difference is how images from your line are captured and sent to us.

line systems

Hardware + Software, Fully Integrated

A complete, self-contained solution installed directly on your line. We provide the cameras, lighting, and lightweight hardware needed to capture images, then process them and return real-time inspection results.

Best for: Lines without existing vision systems, or where current coverage is limited.

data connection

Use Your Existing Equipment

Already have visual inspection systems in place? Send your images directly to LuxTronic. We process them using our AI models and return fast, accurate determinations. No new hardware required.

Best for: Lines with existing vision infrastructure looking to upgrade intelligence, not equipment.

Inspect your critical processes

The WashGuard, UVBC, and FinalCheck are designed for specific locations. MassIntell & MassInspect can be deployed anywhere your line needs monitoring or inspection.

Production Line Systems

Each system is purpose-built for a specific point on the line. Modular, retrofit, and connected to the LuxTronic data platform.
Washer Infeed

WashGuard

Protect the washer. Perfect the print.

Automated washer infeed monitoring for consistent cleaning performance. Detect down, inverted, and loosely-packed units in real-time, to stop cascading defects before they start.

  • Unit orientation detection
  • Pack density monitoring
  • Configurable automated line response
  • Billions inspected globally
coating inspection

UVBC

Verify the bottom rim. Ensure mobility.

Inspects the bottom rim coating on every unit, verifying full coverage and precise application. Tracks coating usage trends and equipment performance so cans flow smoothly at the filler.

  • Full-circumference coating verification
  • Partial and no coat detection
  • Defect belt location
  • Coating level analysis
line visibility

MassIntell

Precise monitoring for critical points.

Real-time unit counts, line speed, and orientation insights exactly where they're needed — so you can fine-tune production and maximize throughput. MassIntell powers our INTELIBELT conveyance solution.

  • Unit count and line speed tracking
  • Orientation monitoring
  • Flexible placement across your line
  • INTELIBELT integration
quality inspection

MassInspect

Quality checks anywhere on your line.

Instantly detects internal dents, decoration issues, and foreign objects. Flexible installation at the cup stage or various dome-down points — extending inspection coverage to places that were previously blind spots.

  • Dent detection
  • Decoration defect identification
  • Foreign object detection
  • Multi-point deployment flexibility
end-of-line

FinalCheck

Your last line of defense.

Designed to inspect completed cans at the final possible moment before they leave the line. FinalCheck is your safeguard for catching critical defects that made it past every prior checkpoint.

  • End-of-line oversight
  • Unit-level quality check
  • Pallet layer pattern verification

anamoly detection

ForeignCan

Spot the mixed label.

Foreign can detection is the ability to detection a unit with an incorrect label in the mass pack. We apply our technology to assess multiple characteristics including the RGB spectrum of color. Contact us if you are interested in our beta program.

powered by luxtronic

AI inspection using your existing images

The Powered by LuxTronic model lets you access our advanced inspection and monitoring capabilities using images already captured on your line. Instead of installing new hardware, you send your images to LuxTronic. We process them through our AI models and return fast, accurate determinations in real time.

what we analyze

Specialized AI models for production conditions

Our platform evaluates images and inspection data across various production characteristics. From surface inspection, shape and finish, damage, unit tracking, etc. All purpose-built for high-volume manufacturing.
