Across industries, we kept seeing the same gap. Manufacturers wanted AI-powered inspection systems, but the market forced them into two extremes: software-only solutions that required them to piece together hardware on their own, or rigid, overpriced turnkey machines with little flexibility or control.

Neither approach truly solved the problem.

What manufacturers actually needed was a single partner who could own the entire system — from selecting the right cameras and designing the lighting, to building and training the AI, deploying it on edge hardware, integrating with PLCs, and commissioning it at full production speed. One team. One system. One point of accountability.

WindleTek was built to deliver exactly that.

Our first major integration, the Nova Sorters project, validated this approach. It was a complete, high-speed inspection system for industrial color sorting machines, engineered end-to-end — including line-scan imaging, precision LED illumination, backlighting, edge compute, PLC-controlled rejection mechanisms, and conveyor integration.

That success became our foundation — and from there, we're expanding into industries like pharma, automotive, and electronics, bringing the same integrated, performance-driven approach to inspection and automation.
