Visual inspection is an important part of frontline operations. It can be used to ensure only high quality products are leaving the line, reduce returned parts and re-work, and increase the true yield. Automatic visual inspection can save up on assigning manual labor to perform visual inspection, reducing overall costs and increasing the efficiency of others. With Tulip Vision, visual inspection can be added to any workstation with speed and ease, by connecting an affordable camera to an existing computer and building a Tulip App for inspection.

In this article we will demonstrate on how to use Microsoft Azure's CustomVision.ai service for visual inspection with Tulip. The CustomVision.ai service is a no-code online service for easily creating machine learning models for visual recognition tasks. With Tulip you can collect data for training the machine learning models that CustomVision.ai offers.
