High volume. High defect cost. Largely ignored.
Automotive and electronics got the machine-vision budgets. Food, pharma packaging, textiles and building materials got a second-shift inspector and a hope. Onqyra was built for the second group.
Food processing
Every pack, every seal, every fill — at line speed.
Natural products vary by nature, which is exactly why rules-based vision struggles and why a model that learns “normal” per product thrives. Onqyra inspects the product and the pack without a labelled defect set.
Why it matters here. High volume, thin margins, and recall exposure that dwarfs the cost of the line. Defect cost is measured in recalls, not rejects.
Start a pilot in food processingDefects it catches
- Foreign material & contamination
- Seal integrity & seal contamination
- Fill level and portion consistency
- Label placement, print and date-code legibility
- Colour and bake-level drift
Typical lines
- Bakery & snacks
- Ready meals & tray sealing
- Meat, poultry & seafood packing
- Beverage filling & capping
Pharmaceutical packaging
Validated, auditable inspection for blister, bottle and carton.
Regulated packaging lines need inspection that is consistent, explainable and traceable. Onqyra logs every verdict with a frame hash, model version and operator sign-off, and keeps frames inside your validated network.
Why it matters here. Line clearance, batch release and audit trails demand a system that explains itself. Few-shot teaching means validation once, not per rules revision.

- Missing, broken or double tablets
- Blister seal voids and foil scuffs
- Lot, expiry and serialisation print legibility
- Cap torque marks and tamper-evidence
- Leaflet and carton presence
Typical lines
- Blister packing
- Bottle filling & capping
- Cartoning & serialisation
- Vial & syringe inspection
Textiles
Continuous web inspection that learns each fabric in minutes.
Weave, knit, print and dye each introduce their own defects, and every new article changes what “good” looks like. Onqyra re-teaches per article from a few metres of good cloth and inspects the full web width continuously.
Why it matters here. Metres per minute, wide webs and grading rules that vary by customer. Manual inspection tables cannot keep up and cannot explain why a roll graded down.

- Holes, slubs and broken ends
- Stains, oil marks and streaks
- Print misregistration and pattern repeat drift
- Shade variation across roll and batch
- Selvedge and edge faults
Typical lines
- Weaving & knitting
- Dyeing & finishing
- Rotary and digital printing
- Nonwovens & technical textiles
Building materials
Surface and dimensional inspection for tiles, boards, panels and profiles.
Ceramic, gypsum, wood-based and composite products come off the line hot, dusty and fast. Onqyra handles the visual variation of natural materials while flagging the cracks, chips and voids that turn into warranty claims.
Why it matters here. Bulky products, expensive scrap, and claims that arrive months after shipping. Catching a lot-level drift the same shift changes the economics.

- Glaze, print and colour-lot drift

- Coating coverage and lamination faults

- Gypsum and fibre-cement board
- Engineered wood & laminate flooring
- Extruded profiles & insulation
Discrete manufacturing
Any part, any line, taught from good samples.
Moulded, stamped, machined, printed or assembled — if a camera can see it, Onqyra can learn it. Bring the parts you have; leave the rules engineer behind.
Why it matters here. Mid-sized plants run dozens of SKUs across a few lines. Per-camera pricing and minutes-to-teach make inspection viable where it never was.

- Short shots, flash and sink marks
- Scratches, dents and tool marks
- Missing or misplaced components
- Weld and seal defects
- Label and marking errors
Typical lines
- Injection moulding
- Metal stamping & machining
- Printed & converted packaging
- Sub-assembly & kitting
Put an inspector on every line that never blinks.
Pilots start with one camera and a dozen good parts. Most plants see scrap move within the first weeks.
