Classic camera systems struggle with performance and cost challenges

New capabilities only by purchasing new hardware

Classic cameras cannot be retrofitted. In order to perform more complex surface inspections, new camera hardware must always be purchased, which involves costs, downtimes, and risk.

High pseudo scrap & slippage

Classic camera systems often fail due to production variance. Slightly differently produced / reflective parts or light contamination (liquid, dust, etc.) lead to a high rate of Pseudo scrap and slippage, resulting in significant additional costs.

Missing real-time analytics

Classic camera systems focus on automating visual inspections – without providing valuable insights into the production process to fundamentally reduce waste. Potential for optimization remains untapped, and sources of error are detected too late.

Advantages of Maddox Phoenix

Less (pseudo-)waste – no investment risk

Guaranteed project success with minimal investment

Maddox Phoenix transforms your cameras into AI-powered inspection systems without the need to purchase new cameras. Simply connect your existing cameras to our Edge PC and you're ready to go. Payment is only made after successful commissioning.

> 80% less pseudo scrap and slippage

Our AI models handle typical production variability and reliably distinguish real defects from other image changes (e.g., reflections). This reduces scrap and rework/sorting costs.

Maddox Phoenix: Your cameras, our intelligence

Maddox Phoenix transforms your existing camera systems into AI-based inspection systems. Leverage the potential of your existing vision hardware and expand classic inspection processes with intelligent analytics and data-driven decisions.

Expand your existing machine vision system to reliably solve complex inspection tasks even with high production variability.

Maddox Phoenix automatically integrates the retrofitted cameras into the Maddox Quality Platform. This allows you to detect quality issues across plants & lines at an early stage and take targeted countermeasures to minimize waste.

"We have tested several inspection systems in the past, but only Maddox AI was able to handle the high OK and NOK variability of our hoses."
