Vision Inspection Systems
EPIC vision systems are more reliable, requiring less maintenance due to a more detailed and robust design and unique programming methodology. An EPIC vision inspection system delivers superior pass/fail rates and efficiencies over out-of-the-box solutions. Our services range from custom packaging inspection systems to process feedback applications. EPIC engineers evaluate each line to design, program and customize a vision solution that’s right for you.

Global Vision System Rollouts
EPIC takes turnkey responsibility for your global rollouts by standardizing vision inspection systems, guaranteeing ship-dates, and adhering to all domestic and international guidelines for your global rollouts. We develop repeatable solutions, tested in one facility and rolled out nation-wide or worldwide.
Designing vision inspection systems that fit varying set-ups, local standards and staff without redesign is our specialty. Standardization means consistent inspection programs, mechanical setup, electrical components, and system controls. No matter how many systems you ship or where they end up in the world, EPIC Vision Systems perform to the highest standards. Read about our recent global rollouts projects on our global vision system rollouts page.
More Than A Camera. Vision Systems That Work
We are vision system specialists, focused solely on providing solutions that are custom designed, programmed, fully automated and rolled out to every system on your plant floor. Complete vision inspection systems from EPIC are tailored to address your specific needs, deliver the best achievable pass/fail rates and reduce liability.
EPIC is a good fit for your application:
- Customized solutions
- High degree of precision (measurement and gauging)
- High speed/high production rate applications
- Stringent pass/fail rates
- Improved repeatability (GR&R)
- Quality, purpose-built systems with a long life, low maintenance, and reliability
- Detailed and documented system designs that can be repeated to multiple lines and/or plant locations
EPIC is NOT a fit for these applications:
- Quick, cheap camera installation
- Reseller of a camera or equipment components with no programming or engineered design
- Simple application for the do-it-yourself
- Specific system for which another company already has a low-cost vision package
Turnkey Vision Systems
We provide complete, precise vision systems tailored to your specific needs and budget. Our EPIC vision solutions all follow these development steps to ensure a complete, correct solution.
System Design & Programming
Concept Development
We develop your idea or fill-in the intermediate steps before moving into the design stage and developing a full vision system.
Front-End Engineering
Feasibility testing and a detailed quoting process during Front-End Engineering ensure your vision systems are up to spec and your quote is accurate.
Design Engineering
Our vision engineers take your specifications and complete both a preliminary design and final design with reviews after both steps. Initial programming is also completed during the phase.
Assembly & Installation
Vision System Fabrication
Fabrication and assembly of brackets, control boxes, and other parts required for your turnkey vision system.
System Integration
From pre-prepping your plant environment to FAT testing after installation, we make sure your vision system installation goes smoothly.
Installation & Startup
We ensure your vision system starts up and runs smoothly, retesting all aspects of the system, while leaving your staff fully trained and ready to take over.
The EPIC Vision Advantage
We don’t manufacture cameras, lighting or robotic arms. EPIC is a system integrator that engineers and manufactures complete solutions that we deliver to you as a turnkey system. Our team of machine vision and automation engineers has diverse capabilities to cover a wide array of vision applications, and offer a broad range of experience.
The EPIC Approach is to provide one-on-one service and build a long-term partnership with our clients. We are not generalists like many large automation integrator companies. Many OEMs and general integrators know how to add a camera to a line for simple systems. But EPIC has the ability to create economies of scale and go in depth with a team of experts that specialize in customizing vision designs and inspection programming.
We get the most out of your vision system with proper equipment selection, integration, and programming. This customization is unique for your inspection requirements and manufacturing environment. Lighting, controls, cameras and optics must all be carefully selected and engineered. Once assembled, systems must be programmed, calibrated and fully tested prior to installation.
At EPIC, these features are combined with a carefully designed user interface for flexibility and operator ease of use. Onsite support includes installation supervision, in-plant check out, programming, commissioning and user training.
