Unlocking the Power of Synthetic Data for Industrial Vision

In this InVISION Days special session, Dr. Wilhelm Klein, CEO of Zetamotion, reveals how synthetic data is transforming quality control in manufacturing. With the Spectron™ platform, manufacturers can now onboard AI-powered inspection systems in under 24 hours—without relying on massive real-world datasets.

Dr. Klein walks through common challenges in traditional machine vision approaches and explains how synthetic data addresses them, offering scalable, cost-effective, and high-accuracy solutions. He also breaks down different synthetic data generation methods — from procedural rendering to generative AI — and how Zetamotion combines them for unmatched realism and control.

Whether you’re dealing with rare defects, noisy composite materials, or fast-changing product variants, this talk offers practical insight into how synthetic data enables faster deployment, better inspection accuracy, and smarter factory operations.

🎯 Key takeaways

  • Why conventional vision systems struggle to scale
  • How synthetic data enables faster deployment and retraining
  • Real-world examples of Spectron™ in high-variation manufacturing settings
  • Using digital twins and simulation to drive inspection performance

“One scan. One pattern file. That’s enough to get started.” — Dr. Wilhelm Klein
