# Origin Story
Before building LIVIS, Lincode visited over **500 factories** to understand their specific manufacturing challenges. **Over 80% reported quality inspection as the #1 challenge impacting operational efficiency.** Defects slipped through. Good parts got scrapped. Labor was working overtime. After building and testing various models to address these challenges in real factory environments, LIVIS was born.
Since its founding, Lincode has conducted over **260M+ inspections**, trained on **800M+ datasets**, developed **700+ pre-trained AI models**, raised over **$9M from investors**, and expanded to **14+ countries**.
## Key Features and Benefits:
#### Unparalleled Accuracy
Increase the efficiency of traditional vision systems with LIVIS by improving reliability of inspection results and reducing false calls.
#### Expanded Capabilities
Supercharge legacy camera systems with LIVIS by expanding their native capabilities for quality inspection to include advanced defect detection, assembly verification, and label inspection.

## Why Lincode ?
### Traditional Machine Vision
**Limitations of traditional machine vision require factories to set up secondary manual inspections that create bottlenecks in production.**
Traditional machine vision systems generally have limited functionality, require controlled environments, and produce a high rate of false calls. These limitations stem from the “golden image” approach to model training where any variance from a particular control set is deemed defective. But many manufacturing requirements allow certain variances too complex for machine vision systems to understand, leading to bottlenecks in production.
### Other AI Platforms
**AI Platforms lead with promises of efficiency but result in long training cycles and pilot purgatory due to lack of available datasets.**
### Lincode Intelligent Visual Inspection System (LIVIS)
**AI Platforms lead with promises of efficiency but result in long training cycles and pilot purgatory due to lack of available datasets.**
LIVIS is a true deep learning system built for manufacturing. The system includes proprietary AI models trained on industry- and use case- specific datasets, enabling manufacturers to deploy significantly faster than with other AI platforms. Unbound by rule-based structures, LIVIS gets smarter over time by learning which variances are acceptable and which are not. As a result, LIVIS consistently outperforms traditional machine vision technology and other AI platforms in accuracy, latency, and speed.

## Testimonials
We have been using Lincode’s AI-based solution in our facility for the last 3 years and have observed a drastic improvement in performance:
- Inspection cycle time reduced from over 60 seconds to just 5 seconds per unit.
- False call rate reduced from approximately 30% to less than 3%, greatly improving accuracy and process reliability.
The ease of programming and flexibility of the system are the features we value most. Engineers can easily set up and teach the system using just a few sample images, eliminating the need for time-consuming programming typically required in rule-based systems. This makes the system highly adaptable and user-friendly.
Compared to other inspection systems, Lincode’s LIVIS system delivers lower false call rates and much better adaptability to product-specific needs. It is by far the best solution we have used for customized inspection requirements across a variety of products.
###### Siraj Puthanpurayil, Senior General Manager Manufacturing Technology, Global Supply Chain
Schneider Electric
Since we started using the Lincode inspection system, we’ve had a significant increase in productivity. The system can detect defects in the bolt no matter how the part is placed, along with missing pins. This has reduced our manual efforts and increased operator efficiency. We are very satisfied with the system and will certainly work with Lincode on other projects.
###### Andreas Nußmüller, Managing Director
Nußmüller Montagetechnik
As pioneers in visual quality inspection using AI, Lincode has helped us solve many challenges in BIW automation lines where traditional vision systems fail to support our applications. The Lincode team is highly flexible to our requirements and has extended their services beyond the initial specifications to help solve the problems on-site.
