About MENOU
MENOU focuses on making machine-vision inspection easier to configure and maintain inside factories. Its software supports image acquisition, defect detection, workflow design and production deployment, addressing inspection tasks that are difficult to automate with fixed rules.
MENOU-AiF extends that stack into physical inspection cells. A collaborative robot positions a camera around complex components while AI selects focus and inspection conditions. The system uses Sony camera technology and is intended to reduce custom engineering for multi-angle inspection. MENOU was founded in Tokyo in 2019.
