Bluewrist

Bluewrist is an automation company based in Canada that builds automated 3D machine vision inspection and robotic guidance systems for manufacturers. The site says its inspection systems verify manufactured parts against GD&T specifications and check welds. Its Unblink3D industrial software acts as the operating system that turns sensors, PLCs, 3D cameras and robots into a working factory system. The company describes its aim as preventing recalls and downstream defects.

Inspection systems

• Weld inspection: fully automated checks for spatter, burn-through, missing and skipped welds, using AI and machine learning.
• Dimensional checks: 3D verification of parts with up to 0.1 mm inspection accuracy and a flexible field of view using robots or fixtures.
• Speed and traceability: inspection processing under 2 seconds, with real-time results and full traceability.
• Precision assembly: 3D vision with robot guidance and calibration for flexible assembly work.

Software and robotic automation

Unblink3D is also available as a standalone license for system integrators and manufacturers. The site describes robotic 3D vision guidance that removes production bottlenecks, and robotic process automation for repetitive or dangerous tasks. It says the company's automation serves products from delicate medical parts to stamped metal parts.

Customers and quality

The site says its inspection solutions are tailored to a plant's in-line production environment and project needs. Its customer examples include a maker of high-performance electric cars, an MRI machine manufacturer and a producer of nuclear reactor pressure tubes, where the site says quality control, defect detection and productivity improved. Bluewrist describes its hardware as IIoT devices, sensors, PLCs, 3D vision cameras and robots that Unblink3D software ties together.
