Built where manufacturing is serious.

Origin

The same problem. Every plant.

Aaron Zielinski spent 9 years working in quality systems at manufacturing plants in the Cleveland and Akron corridor. He worked with stamping suppliers, electronics contract manufacturers, and CPG packaging operations. The problem he encountered was consistent across all of them.

Manual end-of-line inspection has a fundamental constraint: visual fatigue. On a 4-shift line, the inspector who starts the day catches approximately 1 in 200 defects. The inspector ending the last shift catches roughly 1 in 400 — not because they're less skilled, but because human visual attention degrades predictably over a shift. The escape rate isn't constant; it follows the inspector's attention cycle.

The downstream consequence is that escaped defects cause field claims, warranty events, and in the worst cases, automotive recalls. The cost per escaped defective part in automotive is typically 100 to 1,000 times the cost of the part itself. Every plant manager Aaron talked to knew this. Most had a recent example. None had automated the inspection station because the options available required either specialized machine vision expertise or very long implementation timelines.

Eolvision was founded to build the inspection system that a manufacturing quality manager can actually deploy — trained on their specific parts, integrated with their existing MES, and operational within weeks rather than quarters.
