For more than four decades, Viscom has focused on one essential mission: helping manufacturers achieve 100% defect-free products. The company designs, engineers, and manufactures inspection systems in Hanover, Germany that e.g. safeguard the integrity of the world’s most critical electronics. Even the smallest hidden defect can jeopardize performance, compromise safety, or disrupt operations. Viscom ensures that these risks are eliminated before they can impact the field. By delivering world-leading inspection solutions tailored for demanding and highly regulated environments, we help customers detect, understand, and eliminate defects before they can threaten mission readiness.

Viscom offers a broad portfolio of inspection solutions tailored to the needs of high-reliability electronics. The inspection systems are engineered to uncover hidden defects, confirm structural integrity, and verify assembly quality across a wide range of applications.

At its core, Viscom helps their customers to ensure that their electronic assemblies are built correctly and free of defects. Modern electronics are extremely compact and complex. Components are smaller, boards are more densely packed, and assemblies often include hidden features. Viscom solves these challenges by offering industry-leading inspection systems that reveal both visible and hidden defects.

AOI technology focuses on optical inspection, identifying surface-level issues such as incorrect components, missing parts, or defective solder joints. AXI systems use X-ray technology to look inside assemblies and detect problems that cannot be seen from the outside, such as voids inside solder joints or hidden electrical connections. MXI tools give engineers hands-on control to explore complex assemblies with manual X-ray in detail, making them ideal for R&D, failure analysis, and specialized high-mix, low-volume production. With Viscom’s advanced X-ray technology, including the in-house development and manufacturing of our own X-ray tubes, we ensure that every step of the supply chain remains secure and uncompromised.

Viscom’s heritage is rooted in German engineering, where precision, durability, and innovation are not optional, but expected. All our inspection systems are developed, manufactured, and rigorously validated in Hanover, Germany to maintain the highest possible quality standards. The materials are sourced mainly in Germany and the European Union. This commitment to excellence is why global OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and defense contractors trust Viscom.

Our inspection platforms combine advantage optics, high-performance imaging, intelligent algorithms, and robust mechanical design to deliver consistent, repeatable results under even the toughest conditions. From prototype evaluation to full-scale production, Viscom’s systems provide the actionable insights needed to guarantee product integrity at every stage of the lifecycle.

In mission-critical sectors, inspection is more than a quality check, it is a safeguard against operational risk. At the core of Viscom’s mission is a commitment to ensuring that every electronic assembly meets the highest standards of quality, reliability, and durability. In defense and aerospace environments, electronic systems must withstand shock, vibration, extreme temperatures, electromagnetic interference, and years of uninterrupted service.

Failure is not an option, and Viscom’s technology helps ensure that every application, board, component, and connection is ready to perform under real-world conditions. The result is stronger mission readiness, greater equipment longevity, and reduced long-term risk.

Viscom’s global presence ensures that customers receive exceptional support wherever they operate. From initial consultation and system integration to training, optimization, and long-term service, our teams provide comprehensive assistance designed to maximize inspection accuracy and operational efficiency. Manufacturers rely on Viscom not only for advanced inspection hardware but also for the deep expertise and partnership required to sustain excellence across complex production lines.

With headquarters and core production facilities located in Hanover, Germany, Viscom blends precision manufacturing with continuous innovation, offering solutions that meet the highest international standards. Viscom’s inspection systems are designed to provide absolute confidence in every layer, solder joint, and component, no matter how complex the assembly.

As technology continues to evolve and mission-critical electronics become even more sophisticated, the need for precise, reliable, and intelligent inspection systems grows. Viscom stands ready to support manufacturers and defense organizations with solutions engineered to reveal hidden defects, enhance product integrity, safeguard operational performance and secure supply chains. With a legacy rooted in German engineering and a future driven by innovation, like the newest AI solutions, Viscom remains committed to advancing inspection technology and ensuring that the systems protecting our world perform with absolute reliability.
