An automated vision inspection system (AVI), also known as an automatic machine vision system or optical inspection machine, is a sophisticated machine that uses advanced imaging technology such as cameras, sensors, and image processing software to automatically inspect products or components for any defects or deviations from pre-set criteria.

Vision inspection systems, also known as machine vision systems, are used in various industries for automated visual inspection and quality control. These systems utilize cameras, image processing algorithms, and artificial intelligence to analyze images or videos of objects and identify defects or deviations from desired standards.
