title: "How to inspect wire harnesses with computer vision"
description: "Place a camera and steady lighting over the inspection board or bench, then use a model trained on the shop own build images to mark likely wrong wire colors in a connector, missing or misplaced clips and ties, wrong or missing labels, damaged insulation and terminals that look poorly crimped or not fully seated. Each mark points to the spot on the build and the drawing reference, so a trained inspector can confirm or reject it. The model only helps find likely problems; it never passes a build on its own, and the existing electrical tests, pull tests and quality sign-off stay in place."

# How can a wire harness or cable assembly shop use computer vision to check builds before they ship?
Place a camera and steady lighting over the inspection board or bench, then use a model trained on the shop own build images to mark likely wrong wire colors in a connector, missing or misplaced clips and ties, wrong or missing labels, damaged insulation and terminals that look poorly crimped or not fully seated. Each mark points to the spot on the build and the drawing reference, so a trained inspector can confirm or reject it. The model only helps find likely problems; it never passes a build on its own, and the existing electrical tests, pull tests and quality sign-off stay in place.
## What this means in practice
- Set up a fixed camera and steady lighting over the board or bench where builds are checked
- Collect images of builds that inspectors have already passed or failed, for each part number
- Label the defect types the quality team tracks, linked to the drawing for each part number
- Send flagged builds to a trained inspector, who confirms or rejects each mark and records the result
- Add reviewed images back into training whenever a new part number or drawing revision comes in
## How Lid Vizion approaches it
We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
