AI has transitioned from an emerging tech to a core component of modern machine vision, enabling adaptable, robust, and intelligent systems that enhance manufacturing efficiency and quality control.

PTZOptics, Detect-It, and Comtronix will showcase a practical path to industrial AI inspection solutions at Automate 2026 (June 22-25 Chicago, booth #3920). The live demonstrations will show how manufacturers, including automotive, heavy equipment, and food and beverage producers, can move beyond slow, complex and expensive AI pilots and deploy real-time visual inspection, automation, and on-premise intelligence quickly and cost-effectively directly on the factory floor.

Detect-It AI Software and PTZOptics have collaborated to produce a Detect-It Red PTZ Move 4K 20x Zoom camera specifically for manufacturing applications. Paul Richards, PTZOptics Chief Revenue Officer says, “Through the use of our API, Detect-It has developed an end to end AI inspection software for industrial manufacturing with unprecedented performance. In order to keep up with their staggering pace of innovation PTZOptics has engineered a purpose built camera designed for industrial customers in Detect-It red”.

Detect-It AI Software, along with PTZ Optics and Comtronix, hosted a live webinar featuring the creation of a neural net from scratch in under an hour.

Detect-It AI Software, along with PTZ Optics and Comtronix, hosted their first ever webinar on July 24th, 2025, to talk about how to easy it is to deploy AI vision into industrial manufacturing.

This exclusive webinar explores how Detect-It AI is transforming manufacturing, focusing on the needs of AI to assist with improvements in quality inspection and visual detection in manufacturing and how Detect-It AI Software can be used!
