Repetitive 2D/3D Measurements and Analysis

PRECiV software enables users in production, quality control, and inspection to make precise, repetitive 2D/3D measurements and complex image analysis to obtain results that comply with the latest industrial standards.

Interactive Measurements

PRECiV software enables precise, repetitive 2D/3D measurements and analysis on a live or recorded image. The software gives you the tools to make complex geometric measurements to meet your production and inspection challenges.

TruAI™ Deep-Learning Technology

With the exception of Capture, all PRECiV packages can be used with optional TruAI technology to quickly and easily analyze complex images. Artificial neural networks can be used for image segmentation, enabling the AI to separate features in a sample that cannot be handled by purely analytical solutions.

3D Roughness Analysis

PRECiV packages support 3D line profile measurements, advanced 3D measurements, and surface roughness analysis of 3D images acquired with the DSX1000 using our LEXT Analysis Application. The image is automatically transferred from PRECiV DSX to the 3D Analysis Application.

          Optional Modules - Customize the Software to Your Needs

          PRECiV optional modules integrate directly into the software, enabling you to customize it with measurement and analysis solutions tailored to your application and needs, such as metallography and motorization.

          Metallography
          PRECiV™ software has guided workflows to streamline material science analyses. A range of optional Material Solutions can be added with dedicated workflows for material qualification and evaluation. These solutions enable you to conduct an analysis according to common international standards (ISO, ASTM, JIS, and DIN) to check their quality before and after manufacturing processes
          Image Analysis
          Quantitative results are what really count. Optional PRECiV modules for 3D roughness analysis, detecting objects and measuring size distribution, phase analysis, and neural network training help ensure that results are available more quickly, as well as improving reproducibility and security.
          Motorization and Customized Software
          PRECiV offers optional modules that enable you to control industrial and material science manual and semi-automated microscopes and motorized X, Y, Z devices. A dedicated interface enables experienced users to efficiently control a motorized stage and focus drive to acquire time-lapse images, movies, or 3D stacks
