36ZERO Vision GmbH is a Munich-based technology company specializing in AI-powered software for visual quality inspection in manufacturing. Formerly known as FotoNow, it provides a hardware-agnostic, no-code platform that uses deep learning to detect defects, anomalies, missing parts, and surface irregularities at pixel level, even under varying light conditions.
The solution enables automated quality control with minimal training data (5-20 images), reducing pseudo-errors through error pattern classification. It integrates via cloud-based model training and on-premise edge deployment for real-time analysis, supporting Industry 4.0 applications with traceability and scalability.
Serving sectors such as automotive, electrical, mechanical engineering, metal & steel, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and natural products, its technology is utilized by partners including Siemens (Industrial Edge ecosystem), Bosch Rexroth, and LEONI. In chemical-related processes, like electronics manufacturing, it identifies issues such as corrosion from flux residues.
Also known as FotoNow.
