Private Meeting & Demo Room Would you like to discuss your inspection challenges in more detail or experience a demonstration tailored to your application? Book a private session in the Opto Meeting & Demo Room. We can discuss your requirements, review your samples and explore how solino®, solinoStudio, CrivaAI or a customised OEM solution could fit your application. If you would like us to test your own component, please tell us more about your sample in advance so that our team can prepare for your appointment. |

One powerful imaging platform
See how solino® captures the visual appearance of a surface using controlled illumination from multiple directions.
Our solino software (solinoStudio) allows you to acquire, visualise and explore the resulting multidimensional surface data. Compare different illumination angles, examine surface characteristics and reveal scratches, defects, contamination or texture variations that may remain hidden in a conventional image.
What you will experience:
- Live image acquisition with solino®
- Multidirectional surface visualisation
- Detailed inspection of challenging surfaces
- An intuitive workflow from image capture to evaluation
- Integration capabilities using the SDK (Software Development Kit) and CPI (Computational Imaging) library

solino® with CrivaAI
Discover how artificial intelligence can transform complex surface data into actionable inspection results.
Workflow with solino® and AI software: CrivaAI
See how solino® image data is analysed using CrivaAI.
Anomalies can be detected, classified and visualised in intuitive heatmaps – supporting automated quality inspection even when defects are difficult to define in advance.
What you will experience:
- AI-supported anomaly detection
- Automatic identification of surface deviations
- Visual heatmaps highlighting relevant variations
- Inspection workflows based on good and defective samples
- A scalable approach for automated quality control
solino® inside – Live OEM application by Oratek
See at the booth how solino® can be integrated into machines, automated systems and customer-specific devices.
solino® is not only available as a standalone inspection platform.
It can also be integrated into machines, automated systems and customer-specific devices.
Our partner Oratek will present a device with an integrated solino® sensor at the Opto booth. This real-world application demonstrates how our imaging technology can become part of a complete inspection solution.
See how Opto supports OEM customers and development partners with:
- Compact imaging technology
- Hardware and software integration
- Using SDK and solino CPI library
- Customer-specific adaptations
- Joint development and engineering
- Solutions designed for automation
From the first feasibility test to the finished product, we combine optics, mechanics, electronics and software in one solution.
