Troubleshooting
Our Approach
LM3’s inspection strategy follows a tiered, cost-conscious process that prioritizes efficiency without compromising performance. We begin with AI-based inspection using QC Hero, the fastest and most cost-effective approach for most applications. If additional accuracy or functionality is needed, we scale into rule-based vision tools, precision optics, or 3D imaging, only when justified. This stepwise methodology ensures clients receive solutions that are technically sound, financially optimized, and fully aligned with production goals—delivering the right technology at the right price.
2D Vision and AI
Traditional Vision
3D and Advanced Optics
Hybrid Intelligent Systems
Our systems are built to scale, whether deployed as a single inspection point or a multi-station network with edge-to-cloud connectivity. LM3’s deployment approach includes PLC integration, robot guidance, MES communication, and traceable data infrastructure, delivering systems that not only inspect but enhance production. With on-site validation, remote support infrastructure, and an adaptive approach to hardware and software, the AI Vision Deployment Hub empowers manufacturers to unlock value at every stage of automation.

QC Hero
AI Vision Model Training Pipeline
QC Hero is our proprietary AI engine built to power next-generation vision inspection with speed, flexibility, and intelligence.
Layered Assembly Systems
Layered Assembly Verification
Built for multi-stage or layered assemblies, PAQi LayerCheck uses a single or multi-camera approach with true object detection via QC Hero to confirm part sequencing, fastener presence, and build quality. VBAI and structured lighting systems can be added for detailed depth/position validation.
Pick and Place
Systems
Vision -Led Robotic Pick & Place
PAQi PAP enables fast and accurate robotic picking through calibrated vision systems, detecting object presence, orientation, and placement accuracy. Compatible with QC Hero for detection/classification, PhotoNeo and SICK 3D cameras for bin picking, and integrates with robot platforms via PROFINET and EtherNet/IP.
Automated Measurement
Dimensional Inspection
Our measurement systems deliver sub-millimeter accuracy using calibrated vision and lighting systems. It supports metrology tools from SICK, as well as QC Hero’s AI overlay for edge detection and defect-based dimension filtering. Ideal for stamping, machined, or additive-manufactured parts.
Inspection
Cells
Autonomous Inspection Cells
A fully enclosed, plug-and-play inspection cell for critical components and part families, our inspection cells pairs QC Hero AI detection with modular camera and lighting setups. Supports VBAI logic or custom Python-based workflows and integrates with SICK, Keyence, and Basler imaging tools.
Inspection Workbenches
Operator-Guided Inspection
Perfect for manual workstations, PAQi Workbench adds real-time AI feedback, part presence verification, and guided assembly checks. Works with QC Hero, VBAI, and SICK Inspector to validate operator-assembled parts and ensures that errors are caught before downstream impact.
In-Line
Inspection
Production Line Inspection
This solution provides high-speed, non-contact inspection in live production lines. From paint and coating defects to connector pin checks and orientation validation, PAQi In-Line leverages QC Hero for object/defect classification, with support for VBAI, and SICK solutions to fit the task.
End-of-Line
Inspection
End-of-Line Quality Assurance
PAQi GateKeeper is the final inspection barrier before packaging or shipment. Optimized for complex assemblies, it combines QC Hero’s multi-object detection with barcode/OCR verification and 3D sensors for full-surface analysis. Integrates with PLCs and MES for pass/fail gating and traceability.
