Oxipital AI releases VX2 Vision System for inspection and picking
The VX2 Vision System uses AI for food-grade inspection and picking, says Oxipital AI.
Oxipital AI this month launched its VX2 Vision System, which uses artificial intelligence for inspection and high-speed picking applications across food-grade and industrial sectors. Built on the company’s proprietary Visual AI platform, the VX2 comes in a more compact package at a more accessible price than its predecessor.
“At Oxipital AI, we believe that listening to our customers and learning from real-world applications is the key to driving innovation,” said Austin Harvey, vice president of product at Oxipital. “The VX2 is the result of that philosophy in action. It’s smaller, more powerful, and more versatile, enabling our customers to build more resilient manufacturing processes.”
Formerly Soft Robotics, Oxipital is developing machine vision for product inspection and robotic process automation in critical industries such as food processing, agriculture, and consumer goods production.
The Bedford, Mass.-based company’s stated mission is “to deliver actionable insights through deep object understanding to customers as they embrace Industry 5.0 and unlock previously unachievable levels of resiliency, efficiency, and sustainability in their manufacturing operations.”

VX2 Vision System includes several enhancements
Oxipital AI said the VX2 Vision System represents a significant improvement over its first-generation vision platform. The company said it incorporated customer feedback and extensive field learning to meet the evolving needs of the industry.
The VX2 has enhanced capabilities for inspection, high-speed picking, and high-speed picking with inspection, said Oxipital. It asserted that the system ensures optimal efficiency and precision in a wide variety of environments and listed the following benefits:
Compact and powerful: The VX2 packs more processing power into a smaller, more efficient design, providing greater flexibility for installations in tight spaces or complex environments, said Oxipital.
Versatile application: Designed for food-grade and industrial use, the VX2 excels in inspection tasks, high-speed handling, and combining both, ensuring accuracy and speed in demanding workflows.
Enhanced Visual AI platform: Oxipital said its platform delivers faster, more accurate decision-making capabilities, ensuring high-performance, real-time operations.
Better price point: Despite significant improvements in power and versatility, the VX2 is available at a more competitive price, said the company. This makes it an attractive option for businesses seeking to upgrade their capabilities without incurring significant costs, it added.
Oxipital AI applies vision to industry needs
With the VX2 launch at PACK EXPO this month, Oxipital said the technology demonstrates its commitment to innovations that address the challenges that industry is currently facing.
“Oxipital AI continues to push the boundaries of what is possible with vision systems in automated environments,” it said. Soft Robotics previously made compliant grippers before pivoting to vision AI.
Oxipital has partnered with Schmalz and Velec, and its was nominated as a PACK EXPO Food and Beverage Technology Excellence Award finalist.
