You shouldn't need a vision expert to run a vision system.
The iSight 20/20 LITE is a complete, turnkey finish inspection system built for your operators, not for engineers. Deploy in days. Run it yourself. Ship 100% quality product.

THE CHALLENGE
Blow molding quality has never been harder to control.
Skilled labor is disappearing
High turnover means the people who knew how to hand-sort and visually inspect are gone and training replacements to that standard is getting harder every year.
Your customers demand 100%
Big box retailers, CPG brands, and co-packers aren’t accepting defects. One bad shipment is a chargeback. A pattern is a lost account.
Labels and recipes change fast
Seasonal SKUs, regional variants, promotional packaging. Six-month product cycles mean your inspection system has to flex with them.
You tried a camera kit. It worked for two months, then started throwing false rejects. Nobody on the floor knew how to fix it.
You got a quote for a full vision system. The number had too many commas. You filed it away.
You’re shipping containers you’re not 100% certain about and waiting for the chargeback to show up.
You need inspection, but you don’t have a vision engineer on staff and you shouldn’t have to.
There's a better answer. And your operators can run it on day one.
INTRODUCING THE ISIGHT 20/20 LITE
Purpose-built for blow molders. Ready when you are.
A fully engineered, turnkey finish inspection system purpose-built for plastic blow molders who need reliable quality control without the complexity, cost, or integration headache of an enterprise vision platform.
It handles the inspections that matter most for finish quality: neck profile, sealing surface, body contamination and front and back label inspection. The defects that reach your customers. The ones that come back as chargebacks.
It ships complete. It rolls up to your line on casters. And your team can operate it the same day it’s installed.

WHY THE 20/20 LITE
Three things that matter on day one.
Operators run it
The HMI insulates your team from the underlying technology. No programming required. A plant manager ran the system at a recent FAT with zero training on the first day.
Deploy quickly
Cameras, lighting, controls, rejector, encoder tracking are all in one enclosure on casters. Roll it to the line. Plug it in. Standard plant power.
Purpose-built for blow molding
Built by a team with 60+ iSight installations at blow molding facilities. They know the defects, the line speeds, the variability, and it shows.
BUILT FOR HOW BLOW MOLDING ACTUALLY WORKS
Labels change. Recipes change. The iSight 20/20 LITE keeps up.
Your customers aren’t buying a static SKU. Seasonal packaging, regional variants, promotional runs and your inspection system has to flex every time the line does.
Recipe Management
Store and recall inspection parameters for every container type and SKU. Operators select the recipe, the system adjusts. What used to take a specialist now takes a touchscreen tap.
ZERO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED
Flexible Automation
Z-axis height adjustability handles container size variation without a service call. Password-protected user roles keep operators empowered and configuration protected.
BUILT FOR HIGH TURNOVER
Data You Can Mine
Production counts, yield tracking, reject data are all logged and accessible. The system doesn’t just inspect. It records.
CLOUD BACKUP & REPORTING
Reject Verification
Every reject gets confirmed, not just triggered. If a bad container doesn’t actually leave the line, the system alarms. No bad product slips through because a rejector misfired and nobody noticed.
Confirmed, not assumed

INSPECTION CAPABILITY
Inspects the defects that cost you.
The iSight 20/20 LITE focuses on label and finish inspection. The quality point that determines whether your container seals, ships, and reaches your customer intact.

Need sidewall, label, cavity ID, or deep learning inspection? The iSight platform scales to meet it. Same team. Same platform. No starting over.
BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN ON YOUR FLOOR
Not a vendor pitch. A practitioner's point of view.
“Plant managers want to trust what’s leaving their line. Quality managers want proof. Ops managers want to fix the problem, not just find it. kmV gives you all three.”
MICHAEL HAHN, KMV ISIGHT SYSTEMS
The kmV team has designed, built, and supported vision inspection systems at blow molding facilities for decades. The iSight 20/20 LITE isn’t a product built in isolation. It’s the result of examining what works and what doesn’t, on real lines, at real line speeds.
Start here.
Scale when you're ready.
The iSight 20/20 LITE is where a vision strategy begins. It handles finish inspection today. When your line speeds increase, when quality requirements expand, when a second line goes in, the iSight platform grows with you. Same support team. No starting over.
The iSight 20/20 LITE isn't a compromise. It's a foundation.
Issues? Not on your line.
You know that call. The one where someone wants to know how it got out. Tell us what’s running. We’ll show you how it stops.

QUESTIONS WE HEAR A LOT
You probably have a few.
Is this really turnkey? What do I actually have to do?
You receive a fully assembled, factory-tested system. We handle installation and on-site training. From FAT to installed typically takes days, not weeks.
Our operators turn over frequently. Will new people be able to run this?
That’s exactly what this was built for. The HMI is designed so a new operator can be trained in a shift. Password-protected user roles mean inspection parameters can’t be accidentally changed.
We run a lot of different SKUs and labels change frequently. Can it keep up?
Recipe management handles this. Store inspection parameters for every container type and SKU. Operators select the recipe at changeover and the system adjusts. No reconfiguration, no service call.
What containers does it work with?
The iSight 20/20 LITE inspects bottles and jars in colored and clear PET, HDPE, LDPE, and PPL — flat-sided, round, square, and sqround shapes. Not sure if yours qualifies? Call us today.
What if something goes wrong after installation?
Every iSight 20/20 LITE includes cloud-based system backup and built-in remote access. The kmV team can diagnose and often resolve issues remotely before they become downtime.
What if our needs grow beyond what the iSight 20/20 LITE can do?
The iSight platform scales. The iSight 20/20 LITE handles finish inspection. When you need sidewall, label, deep learning, or cavity ID inspection, kmV has you covered with the iSight platform. Same team. Same platform.
