A Smarter Approach to Machine Vision
VisionTools is Atlas Copco’s machine vision portfolio designed specifically for industrial assembly environments. From presence and position checks to advanced AI-based inspections, VisionTools helps manufacturers detect issues earlier, reduce rework, and ensure every product meets quality standards. Unlike standalone vision systems, VisionTools is designed to work as part of a connected production environment. Inspection results are not just visible at the station. They become actionable data that can be used to improve processes, trace issues, and support continuous improvement across the factory.
Improve quality without slowing production
Reduce operator dependency with automated inspection
Turn inspection results into production intelligence
More Than Just a Vision System
Traditional machine vision solutions often operate in isolation. VisionTools is built to be part of something bigger.
Featured Products
VisionTools V60
Combining software with an industrial computer, cameras, and lighting creates a complete image processing solution with process control and communication to higher-level systems. With the V60 image analysis software, you can handle simple tasks just as easily as you do complex, major projects with multiple cameras and 3D scanners. V60 is our most powerful software offering for visual inspection solutions, able to be utilized for inspections, identification, and localization.
VisionTools AI Box
VisionTools AI Box brings advanced AI inspection to the factory floor, enabling reliable detection of complex defects and variations in real time. Built for industrial environments and designed to scale, it transforms visual inspection into actionable production intelligence within a connected assembly ecosystem.

AI Box
Smart Camera
One Ecosystem. One Source of Truth.
VisionTools is designed to integrate seamlessly into Atlas Copco’s connected assembly ecosystem. Inspection results can be captured, monitored, and reviewed alongside other critical production data, giving manufacturers a complete picture of quality and process performance.
By unifying inspection data with tightening, process, and production information, VisionTools enables efficient root-cause analysis, improved traceability, and faster continuous improvement, all within a single ecosystem.
Scalable Verification
Smart Verification
AI-supported vision checks to verify presence, position, and completeness of components directly at the workstation. Designed for fast deployment and reliable verification of quality-critical assembly steps.
Advanced verification
More complex inspection tasks combining multiple cameras, advanced image processing, and AI-supported evaluation to handle higher complexity and increased variant diversity.
Robot-guided End-of-Line (EoL) Quality Gates
Automated, robot-based inspection systems performing comprehensive final quality checks, traceability and documentation before product release.
Get started with Smart Verification
Is Smart Verification the right fit for your application? Both AI Box and V60 are capable platforms; use this criteria to help you choose the best starting point.
Strong fit for AI box
- Quality checks that have variability - lighting/surface reflection changes
- Minor changes between good and bad parts
- Classification tasks and defect detections
- Integration into an error proofing ecosystem
Strong fit for V60
- Complex geometry/shapes requiring multiple camera angles from various planes
- Part location varies adding the need for part tracking prior to fine-detail pattern recognition
- Standard vision inspection tools
*V60 can handle everything the AI box does — these cases can benefit from its full range of capabilities

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of applications do the Smart Verification products support?
Smart Verification supports defect detection, variant checks, type recognition and complex classification tasks in automatedproduction environments.
How quickly can Smart Verification be deployed at a workstation?
Smart Verification can be set up in just a few hours. Teams don’t need deep vision expertise, with basic product knowledge, they can configure the system quickly and get it running smoothly.
What interfaces do you support?
Systems supports a wide variety of interfaces to higher-level machine controls such as PLC (Profinet), OPC-UA, and many common robot systems (e.g Kuka, Universal Robots) up to evaluation based on artificial intelligence (REST API).
Can we start without AI and add it later?
Yes. VisionTools supports rule‑based tools from day one. When a task benefits from AI, the AI Box adds edge inference without changing the overall architecture, so the transition is straightforward.
Does it support continuous learning?
Optional retraining is possible to improve accuracy with new data sets.
How is traceability handled?
Inspection results are stored with images and linked to product identity through OCR or code reading. Data can be sent to your MES or quality system to support audits, compliance and continuous improvement.
