IATF 16949 — Automotive Tier-1

Vision inspection that aligns with your IATF 16949 control plan.

Line-side AOI for automotive Tier-1 suppliers. Powder coat, weld bead, surface finish, and dimensional GD&T — 100% in-process, no operator judgment.

Inspection Capabilities

Four inspection disciplines. One platform.

Defect Detection

AOI for surface anomalies — voids, craters, inclusions, contamination. Pixel-level classification against your control plan defect library.

Dimensional / GD&T

Gauge-correlated measurement for flatness, parallelism, position, and true position. Outputs Cpk/Ppk and SPC-ready CSV.

Learn more →

Surface Finish

Ra/Rz-equivalent surface texture measurement from 2D photometric stereo. No tactile stylus needed at line speed.

Learn more →

Weld Inspection

Weld bead geometry — width, height, undercut, porosity, and arc strike — measured in-process against your weld procedure spec.

Learn more →

Platform

Designed for the audit trail your OEM customers require.

Every inspection result is timestamped, tagged to part serial and shift, and stored in a format your QMS can ingest. SPC-ready output aligned with AIAG measurement system analysis guidelines.

Deployment

From camera to control plan in three steps.

01

Camera & lighting calibration

Qcvisionly configures the imaging cell — GigE Vision or USB3 Vision camera, structured light or ring illumination — matched to your part geometry and surface type. Calibration output is a NIST-traceable measurement file.

02

Defect library and tolerance upload

Your existing control plan defect classes and dimensional tolerances are imported directly. No manual retraining for standard automotive defect classes — powder coat voids, weld undercut, surface scratch, edge burr.

03

Line-side deployment & IATF documentation

System is deployed at the production cell. Qcvisionly provides the IQ/OQ/PQ validation documentation your IATF 16949 internal audit team requires. SPC data feed begins immediately.

Field Evidence

What quality engineers say.

We passed our OEM supplier audit on first attempt after deploying the weld inspection cell. The IATF documentation package was audit-ready the day we went live.

Marcus Osei
Quality Engineering Manager — Tier-1 stamped components supplier, Detroit region

The surface finish measurement at line speed solved a problem we had been trying to address with tactile gauges for two years. Ra readings are within 5% of CMM lab values.

Dana Kowalski
Manufacturing Quality Lead — Automotive casting and machining supplier, Ann Arbor

Built for OT/IT environments on the production floor.

IEC 62443 industrial cybersecurity alignment
Air-gapped deployment option
OT/IT network segmentation support
SOC 2 controls in roadmap
