Vision systems and industrial image processing from a single source

THOP develops production-ready vision systems for automatic quality control, machine integration and inline inspection. Hardware, image processing, inspection software and user interface are matched to the specific application. Alongside our own system solutions, we also integrate platforms from established manufacturers such as Keyence, Cognex or wenglor on request.

THOP's own vision systems

With THOPinspect we offer three coordinated product lines for different degrees of integration: THOPinspect Unit for direct integration into machines, THOPinspect Station for retrofitting existing lines, and THOPinspect Tunnel for fully automatic inline inspection.

  • Product linesTHOPinspect Unit, Station and Tunnel
  • HardwareApplication-specific selection of camera, optics and lighting
  • Inspection softwareCustom-developed, individual inspection sequences
  • ResultsStorage and visualisation of inspection results
  • IntegrationInto machines and production processes
  • FutureLong-term extensibility

02 · In-house software

Custom inspection software and HMI

The inspection software developed by THOP works with rule-based image processing or AI depending on the application and presents inspection results clearly – including handover to your customer or company network. A recipe and variant management makes it easy to handle different products. Operation is deliberately kept simple, understandable, clear and multilingual – equally suited to production, quality assurance, maintenance and engineering.

03 · Integration

Integration of established vision platforms

If a particular system is already in use at the customer's site, or if a standard platform meets the requirements economically, THOP also integrates solutions from Keyence, Cognex, wenglor and other manufacturers. Selection and implementation depend on the inspection task, the existing infrastructure, the operating concept and the desired maintainability.

04 · FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When is a smart camera sufficient?

For clearly defined, simple inspection tasks under stable conditions, a compact smart camera is often the most economical solution.

When does custom inspection software make sense?

As soon as multiple cameras, complex inspection sequences, individual operating concepts or special interfaces are required, standard software reaches its limits.

Can THOP integrate existing Keyence, Cognex or wenglor systems?

Yes. THOP integrates these platforms without being an official partner of the respective manufacturers.

Can existing production lines be retrofitted?

Yes, this is one of the most common applications – from the feasibility study through to integration into the running line.

What determines the cost of a vision system?

The decisive factors are the number of cameras, the complexity of the inspection task, the integration effort and whether custom inspection software or a standard system is used.
