Small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) often have small batch production. It leads to decreasing product lifetimes and also to more frequent product launches. In order to assist such production, a highly reconfigurable robot workcell is being developed. In this work, a visual inspection system designed for the robot workcell is presented and discussed in the context of the automotive light assembly example. The proposed framework is implemented using ROS and OpenCV libraries. We describe the hardware and software components of the framework and explain the system's benefits when compared to other commercial packages.
