Communicative connection of
all production components –
translating the vision of
“Industry 4.0”. With its Touch
& Inspect system architecture,
ISRA VISION creates one
essential prerequisite for its
implementation: Wi-Fi-
controlled surface inspection
systems integrate into a
collaborative network that
provides, shares and uses data
with maximum efficiency.
Users gain full transparency of
their production at all times
and more adaptable inspec-
tion technology than ever
before.
faces with a high resolution and to pro-
cess the high data volumes generated in
real time.
Efficient use of information – directly
inline
Touch & Inspect is a core element of fu-
ture-oriented factory automation. Its
combination of proven inspection tech-
nology, connectible modular compo-
nents and comprehensive data integra-
tion guarantees that production results
are shown efficiently, transparently and
in detail in real time. Connection with
other IT systems is much easier. The
EPROMI business intelligence software
makes all data available – throughout
the company and globally. Data ex-
change is easy across all decision-making
levels and in various degrees of detail,
depending on requirements and access
rights. Exchanging data in the opposite
direction is just as simple, giving the
inspection systems maximum adaptabili-
ty and easy data handling.
Touch & Inspect upgrades ISRA VISI-
ON's SMASH system, which has pro-
ven its worth in many applications, and
combines it with state-of-the-art infor-
mation technology. All system compo-
nents, i.e. lighting, camera and control
unit, are connected via Wi-Fi, so that the
lighting, camera and system as a whole
can be easily and flexibly controlled with
mobile communication devices such as
tablet PCs. The Touch & Inspect systems
can also interconnect with each other to
exchange data or make data available in
a structured database for later analysis.
The system’s core components – lighting and smart camera – can be directly
controlled, giving Touch & Inspect systems maximum adaptability
The result is a smart, modular, highly-
flexible system architecture that allows
the flow of information from inspection
to be viewed at any time, providing an
optimum base for decision-making. In-
spection results are displayed on the mo-
bile control unit so that the operator can
move about freely. The system architec-
ture ensures access to each inspection
system within the network. Both came-
ras and lighting can be easily remote
controlled. Thanks to innovative camera
technology and high computing power,
the system is able to scan even large sur-

With wireless network communication, the inspection systems form a single
collaborative network to transmit information
to one another, to a central database or to
mobile communication devices
