As industrial quality and performance requirements continue to grow, Scortex and IAR Group announce a strategic partnership to transform automated quality control. This collaboration aims to provide manufacturers with an integrated solution that combines artificial intelligence and advanced automation, meeting the needs of sectors including injection molding, metal machining, end-of-line packaging, and high-precision industries such as micromechanics, watchmaking, medical devices, and precision engineering.

Scortex has developed an AI-based automated quality control solution, integrating image acquisition, visual inspection, and advanced image processing through machine learning algorithms.
IAR Group, an expert in advanced automation, designs custom assembly machines and robotic solutions to meet the growing demands of Industry 4.0.
By combining their expertise, the two companies optimize efficiency and reduce quality control costs, providing a tailored response to industrial challenges.

The integration of Scortex's AI technology with IAR Group's automation solutions enables manufacturers to enhance defect detection, reduce human errors, and optimize their operational efficiency. “Automating quality control with AI allows manufacturers to achieve an unparalleled level of precision while optimizing their production lines. Together with IAR Group, we make this technology more accessible to the European market,” explains Hugues POIGET, CEO of Scortex.

Manufacturers still largely rely on manual inspections or sampling checks, often time-consuming and inconsistent. The Scortex-IAR Group partnership transforms this approach by offering a 100% automated inspection solution driven by AI, capable of analyzing each product in real-time. This technology ensures increased precision in defect detection and allows companies to move from reactive quality control to proactive defect prevention.
“Automating quality control with AI is a revolution for the industry. Thanks to our partnership with Scortex, we are elevating our range of inspection and quality control machines to a new level, enabling manufacturers seeking to improve quality and efficiency to adopt a solution that combines AI and automation,” declares Sébastien PERROUD, CEO of IAR Group.

This solution integrates with industrial systems such as MES, PLC, and SCADA, ensuring compliance with the most demanding industry standards. By bringing together IAR Group's cutting-edge inspection machines and Scortex's AI-driven defect detection, manufacturers benefit from a powerful, scalable, and ultra-reliable quality control system. This technological duo not only enhances the accuracy and consistency of inspections but also reduces costs related to defects, rework, and scrap. In sectors where every detail counts, such as high-volume production, luxury, or medical, this partnership establishes a new standard and provides a significant competitive advantage through automation and AI.

In the future, Scortex and IAR Group will continue their collaboration to integrate AI and automation into multiple industrial applications across Europe. With the evolution of AI technologies, manufacturers will benefit from continuous improvements, making automated quality control an essential asset for sustaining their production processes.
