Wolfratshausen, Germany, March 2026 – SmartRay has strengthened its cutting-edge ECCO X sensor range with the introduction of a new model featuring 3D scanning for highly reflective surfaces. Marking SmartRay’s latest breakthrough in inline metrology, the new ECCO X 050G sensor combines the exceptional resolution, speed, and compact design characteristic of the premium ECCO X family with the additional capability to measure shiny, reflective, and transparent surfaces such as glass. The ECCO X 050G incorporates SmartRay’s G-series glass-scanning designation, bringing the full benefits of fast, high-resolution, high-precision automated optical inspection and superior 3D data quality to an even wider range [...]

Wolfratshausen, Germany, January 2026: The artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities of SmartRay’s standout automated 3D inline weld inspection solution are redefining quality and process control for welding processes. JOSY’s new AI-driven algorithm package allows detecting across the entire weld seam borders within seconds, without the need for on-site training. Operators receive instant inspection results of the big five weld characteristics, starting from the very first part captured. Manufacturers are realizing the benefits of JOSY, with drastically shortened set-up time for inspection of each weld – up to 80% compared to conventional weld inspection systems. JOSY speeds up the commissioning process and [...]

Stuttgart, Germany, December 2025: SmartRay, a global leader in high-precision 3D inspection technology, is showcasing its fully automated JOSY weld inspection system at the European Industrial AI Innovation Hub at the Skyloop in Stuttgart. The live demonstration features JOSY hardware with Tool Path Generation software created in partnership with Wandelbots and Grid Dynamics. This close-loop workflow can boost efficiency, eliminates manual errors, and reduces scrap for automotive manufacturers. Visitors can discover how they can transform their operations with automated, AI-generated inspection paths directly from CAD. This includes instant feasibility checks and cycle time estimation, faster commissioning and reduced manual programming, [...]

SmartRay is proud to announce the launch of the latest addition to its ECCO X industry-leading sensors. The ECCO X 025 Dual-Head is the first in the range to offer the full capabilities of the X family, delivering 100% inspection at metrology grade level combined with occlusion-free scanning. While traditional single-head sensors experience shadowing from raised surface areas when the laser hits the target point but the camera is blocked from viewing it, the ECCO X 025 Dual-Head features a second camera head positioned symmetrically to the first, which significantly reduces occlusions and enables uninterrupted visibility even on complex surfaces. [...]

SmartRay is enhancing automated weld inspection with the release of new hardware for JOSY, delivering elevated performance and flexibility in the process. Continued innovation and an ongoing commitment to customer satisfaction have led to these development enhancements to the modular system, which include a new terminal, controller and terminal controller tailored for both small and large installations. The new and upgraded JOSY Terminal, capable of controlling up to 10 controllers, delivers unparalleled flexibility.  Built on the solid foundation of the JOSY Statistic Module, it incorporates significant upgrades leading to higher performance and improved processing of inspection data. A more cost-effective [...]
