Across industries, 3D camera technology combined with computer vision is redefining how manufacturers approach quality control. This powerful pairing transforms inspections from reactive checks into proactive systems that catch defects earlier, reduce waste, and ensure consistent product excellence.

Basler’s latest generation of 3D stereo cameras, distributed in South Africa by TANDM Technologies, are leading this transformation. When enhanced with AI powered image processing, these cameras can detect microscopic defects, measure contours and dimensions with precision, and distinguish real issues from acceptable variations. The result is fewer errors, faster inspections, and greater confidence in every product shipped.

“Humans can miss subtle details, and this is where computer vision and 3D cameras fill that gap with precise, consistent, real time insights,” says Dylan Naidu, Business Development Engineer at TANDM South Africa.

From automotive parts and fruit sorting lines, to mining and logistics, Basler’s 2D and 3D camera systems are helping industries see more, understand more, and improve more. As AI continues to advance, these intelligent vision systems are setting new standards for reliability and efficiency in industrial automation.
