About Qcvisionly

Built in Ann Arbor, for the people who supply the cars.

Qcvisionly was founded by automotive quality engineers who spent years watching Tier-1 inspection fail not because people weren’t skilled, but because 100% in-process vision inspection was too expensive and too hard to validate for IATF audit.

Founding Story

Why we built this.

Priscilla Nakamura spent seven years as a quality engineering lead at a regional Tier-1 stamping and assembly supplier in Southeast Michigan before founding Qcvisionly in 2024.

The problem she kept hitting: every time her team tried to deploy a vision inspection system, integration cost and IATF validation documentation requirements made it prohibitive for all but the largest Tier-1 plants. Smaller suppliers had to choose between 100% manual inspection and expensive CMM sample-based inspection — neither solved quality escapes at line speed.

Dev Krishnamurthy joined as CTO after six years building machine vision systems for automotive production inspection at a Tier-1 automation integrator in Livonia, MI. Together, they built Qcvisionly to make line-side vision inspection practical for every Tier-1 plant that runs an IATF 16949 quality system.

Make line-side vision inspection practical for every Tier-1 plant that runs an IATF 16949 quality system — not just the ones with six-figure automation budgets.

How We Work

What we believe.

Measurement before opinion — every quality decision should trace to a datum and a tolerance
Audit trail first — if it isn’t documented, it didn’t happen
Control plan integration, not workaround — align to the system already in place
Engineering credibility through accuracy — Cpk numbers that match your CMM
Built in the Detroit corridor — we know this industry from the inside
