About IUNA AI
IUNA AI Systems GmbH was founded in 2020 and specializes in deep learning-based camera systems and image processing software for automating quality assurance in industrial manufacturing. Its core products are the IUNA Weld Inspector for automated optical weld seam inspection to standards such as ISO 5817, ISO 10042, ISO 13919-1/-2, ISO 14373, ISO 18595, ISO 18279, ISO 6520-1 and ISO 17637, as well as the IUNA Assembly Inspector for assembly inspection with presence checking, dimensional measurement (gap & flush, hole positions, angles), OCR and code reading (QR, datamatrix, barcode). The turnkey systems comprise high-resolution industrial cameras, industrial LED lighting, AI servers (AI inference in a 19-inch rack), PLC connection (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP) and on-site commissioning; robot integration is supported for KUKA, FANUC, ABB and Yaskawa. The systems enable 100 percent inline inspection within the cycle time with a measurement accuracy of less than 0.5 mm. Fields of application are the automotive industry, automotive suppliers and system integrators; according to the company, over 100,000 vehicles have been inspected and more than 150 million images processed. The company is based in Untergruppenbach near Heilbronn.
