At Bodkin Design, we deliver precision machine vision solutions that help industries inspect, measure, and analyze with unmatched accuracy and reliability. With decades of expertise in optics and imaging system engineering, we design and build advanced systems that go beyond standard camera setups.

By combining custom optics, spectral imaging, and AI-powered analysis, we solve complex inspection challenges that traditional vision systems cannot address — enabling higher quality, greater efficiency, and stronger performance across industries.

Applications of Machine Vision

Hyperspectral & Multispectral Analysis
Go beyond RGB detection with full spectral information to identify material composition, surface coatings, contamination, and subtle defects invisible to the human eye.

Surface Quality & Finish Inspection
Identify scratches, pits, coating defects, and irregular textures with structured lighting and high-resolution spectral imaging.

AI-Enhanced Defect Detection
Use machine learning and intelligent image processing to classify, segment, and detect anomalies at production speed.

Custom Solutions
Every challenge is unique. Whether you need defect detection, spectral analysis, or a specialized inspection setup, Bodkin Design can engineer a tailored machine vision system to meet your specific requirements.

Featured Projects

Surface Finish Inspector

One of the key projects we’ve worked on at Bodkin Design is the Surface Finish Inspector, a high-speed machine vision system that detects hard-to-see surface defects on softwood lumber. Utilizing structured lighting and advanced image processing, it delivers continuous, real-time inspection to enhance product quality and reduce waste for lumber mills.

AI-Powered Machine Vision for Spectral Imaging

One of the projects we’ve developed at Bodkin Design & Engineering is an advanced machine vision system that used AI to inspect Navy antenna guy wires for corrosion and damage. By combining high-resolution imaging with intelligent analysis, the system helped detect potential problems early, improving safety and efficiency for critical infrastructure inspections.
