WrenchML This self-serve computer vision platform provides an alternative to traditional vision systems that can take weeks or months to retrain or redeploy when part geometry or supplier changes. It lets makers of molded, cast and machined parts turn CAD files into defect-detection models. Early customers of the Bucket Robotics’ products have included large-volume automotive-parts suppliers dealing with complex quality issues.
What’s new? The vision platform, which Bucket Robotics launched at Automate 2025 in Detroit.
Benefits The ability to improve plant vision without the need for engineering expertise. Users don’t have to provide real-world images of good and bad parts for the system to recognize defects, and readying WrenchML for new parts takes hours, just a fraction of the time of programming more traditional systems; the software platform regenerates tailored datasets from the same CAD in seconds.
