OpenCV Quality Control Vision Station
Build an Industrial OpenCV Quality Control Vision Station with Arduino Portenta X8
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Manufacturing lines demand speed: 30 frames per second, pass or fail, with zero room for error. This kit turns a Portenta X8 into a conveyor-stopping inspection brain that runs OpenCV on a quad-core Linux A53 processor, communicates pass/fail results to the M4 core via RPC, and toggles a relay to stop the line when parts fail — exactly the logic used in modern factories.
What You'll Build
A rugged, DIN-rail-mounted vision system that connects directly to a 24V conveyor. The Portenta Vision Shield streams images to the Linux side, where your OpenCV script inspects each part and decides pass/fail within a 33ms window. A real-time signal fires from the coprocessor to the relay module, halting the belt instantly. The WS2812B LED ring flashes green for pass, red for fail — giving operators immediate visual feedback.
What You'll Learn
- Deploying OpenCV on embedded Linux (Arduino Portenta X8) for 30fps real-time part inspection
- Implementing inter-processor communication (RPC) between the Portenta’s Linux A53 and M4 cores
- Configuring GPIO-triggered relay output to integrate with industrial conveyor stop logic
- Designing a hardened 24V-powered DIN-rail enclosure for factory-floor deployment

Who This Kit Is For
Engineers and advanced makers building industrial automation prototypes. Ideal for B.Tech ECE/EEE final-year projects, Smart India Hackathon hardware rounds, and professionals at NIT/IIT/VIT labs validating quality control pipelines. The 24V industrial-grade power supply and DIN enclosure make it suitable for ATL-incubator shop floors and R&D centres.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to open the AI companion trained on this exact project. It walks you through every step and can escalate to our WhatsApp support if needed.
Can I modify the inspection algorithm for my own parts?
Absolutely. The companion provides editable OpenCV Python scripts. You can retrain the vision model for your part geometry and defect criteria.
Does this kit work with a 230V Indian mains supply?
Yes, the included 24V 3A power supply accepts 100–240V AC and ships with an Indian‑standard plug. Simply plug into any wall socket.
Can I log pass/fail data to a database?
Since the Portenta X8 runs full Linux, you can add MQTT, SQLite, or cloud‑logging code using the same OpenCV pipeline. The AI companion includes sample scripts for CSV logging.
OpenCV on Linux A53 inspects parts at 30fps. Pass/fail result sent to M4 via RPC to trigger relay conveyor stop.
