Catch the Unexpected with Automated Anomaly Detection

Dynamic Process Adaptation

Counteract environmental noise and natural variability by ensuring your model distinguishes between harmless fluctuations and critical defects.

Explainable Visual Diagnostics

Move beyond binary "Pass/Fail" results with transparent, pixel-level heatmaps that show exactly where and why a part was flagged.

Foreign Object Integrity

Flag intrusive debris and validate component placement instantly by detecting anything that shouldn't be in your master template.

Anomaly Detection That Works

Turn "unknown unknowns" into instant insights with Roboflow’s anomaly detection, built for high-stakes production environments where you can't afford to miss a single outlier. Whether you are establishing a baseline for a new product or monitoring a mature line for subtle visual drift, our platform delivers the flexibility to catch irregularities without needing a library of pre-labeled failures.

Zero-Label Defect Discovery

  • Identify "Unknown" Failure Modes: Detect cracks, discolorations, or deformities that have never occurred before and aren't in your training set.
  • Spot Subtle Surface Irregularities: Catch microscopic porosity, "orange peel" coating effects, or hairline scratches that defy traditional bounding boxes.
  • Detect Tool Wear & Process Drift: Identify when a process begins to deviate from the "Golden Image" baseline before it leads to a total batch failure.

Foreign Object & Assembly Integrity

  • FOD Detection: Instantly flag stray bolts, debris, or tools left inside complex assemblies or food processing lines.
  • Validate Component Placement: Ensure every screw, gasket, and connector is present and seated correctly by flagging any deviation from a perfect assembly.
  • Monitor Material Consistency: Spot contaminates in raw materials or irregular grain patterns in composites and textiles.

High-Confidence Quality Gating

  • Eliminate "Escape" Risks: Act as a final safety net for your production line, flagging any part that doesn't statistically match your "Good" samples.
  • Reduce Labeling Technical Debt: Deploy a functional inspection system on day one, using flagged anomalies to build a supervised dataset for the future.
  • High-Speed Edge Execution: Run anomaly logic at the edge to trigger immediate rejection mechanisms without the latency of cloud round-trips.

Bring total visibility to your inspection process and ensure that if it isn't perfect, it doesn't ship.
