Rosh Ha’ayin, Israel – September 8, 2026 – KITOV.ai, a leading provider of AI-Powered Quality Discovery solutions, today announced the introduction of the KITOV X-Prime System, an advanced automated visual inspection platform engineered specifically for high-value, single-material parts with complex geometries. Designed for high-reliability manufacturing across the Aerospace, Defense, Medical, and Turbine & Engine manufacturing, KITOV X-Prime delivers automated, high-precision surface inspection where conventional machine vision and manual inspection struggle to achieve reliable defect sensitivity and comprehensive coverage.
Taking manufacturers directly from 3D CAD models or 3D scans to complete inspection execution, the KITOV X-Prime system leverages KITOV’s proprietary CAD2SCAN engine alongside enhanced robot path planning optimized for intricate geometries. Powered by AI-driven surface detection technology, the system uncovers micro-defects, surface flaws, and material anomalies with unprecedented accuracy. Built with a forward-compatible architecture, KITOV X-Prime is also ready for integrating downstream metrology sensors.
Key Technical Highlights of the KITOV X-Prime System:
- CAD or 3D Scan to Inspection: Converts 3D models into optimized robotic inspection routines.
- CAD2SCAN & Enhanced Path Planning: Leverages automated 3D CAD-to-robotic trajectory planning to determine optimal camera and illumination viewpoints and multi-axis robot positions for comprehensive coverage of complex geometries.
- AI-Powered Surface Detection: Deploys deep-learning algorithms specifically tuned for high-sensitivity detection of subtle surface anomalies, scratches, dents, and flaws on single-material components.
- Advanced Intuitive Workflow: Consolidates Planner, Process, and Review modules into a single, intuitive workspace with a guided 7-stage workflow (Define ▶ Configure ▶ Plan ▶ Enroll ▶ Scan ▶ Review ▶ Analytics) that minimizes setup time and operator complexity.
- Bidirectional Image-to-CAD Mapping: Delivers precise spatial overlay, linking high-resolution defect images and inspection findings directly onto the original 3D model geometry.
- Metrology-Ready Architecture: Built on a modular architecture prepared for seamless integration with specialized 3D measurement and metrology sensors alongside high-resolution optical vision.
- Detailed Analytics & Digital Traceability: Houses an embedded per-part record repository supporting defect trend analysis, production insights, and full digital traceability across every component.
“KITOV X-Prime represents a major step forward in automated surface inspection, bringing the sensitivity required for high-end optical inspection to single-material parts with complex geometries where traditional visual inspection falls short,” said Dr. Yossi Rubner, Founder & CTO at KITOV.ai. “By unifying the entire operational lifecycle into an intuitive workspace and automating path planning and AI-based surface detection directly from CAD or 3D scan data, manufacturers in aerospace, defense, and medical can deploy high-precision quality coverage with dramatically reduced setup effort while ensuring total digital traceability.”
The KITOV X-Prime System will be available commercially in Q4 2026 and will be showcased live at the IMTS show in Chicago, September 14–19, 2026.
