VZSOR vs Siemens Inspekto

An AI inspection system from Siemens, set up from a small number of good samples. VZSOR is a bench station that adds an operator sign-off and a per-part record.

Siemens InspektoVZSOR
Training data“Only 20 good samples are required. Bad samples are optional, not mandatory.” It detects “all anomalies and deviations from the pre-trained good samples.” [1]Trained on good parts only. Defect parts are used only for testing.
HardwareThe system “combines a unique electro-optical system with innovative AI technology.” It is installed on the production line, end-of-line or mid-line. [1]One bench station: USB camera, enclosed LED light box, V-block fixture and a standard computer.
Who it is for“No Machine Vision or AI expertise required to implement, deploy and maintain this solution.” [1]Built for small high-mix machine shops, with an operator making the final call and overrides logged with a reason.
IntegrationCan be “fully integrated with PLC or MES/ERP systems.” [1]No PLC output yet. Every result exports to CSV with the image.
Fair is fair

Where Siemens Inspekto is stronger

  • PLC and MES/ERP integration. VZSOR has no PLC output yet. [1]
  • Self-contained system that mounts on the line, end-of-line or mid-line. [1]
  • Needs no machine vision or AI expertise to deploy and maintain (their claim). [1]
