A first step,
without the blank page.
Tell Sparky what you want to inspect. Choose its guidance when you create a recipe, then describe what a good part looks like.
Every project
needs a Sparky.
Describe the part. Build the inspection.
Ask your camera what happened.
A good inspection
starts with your idea.
You know the part, the process, and what should pass. Sparky helps turn that knowledge into a place to start—suggesting tools, guiding recipe setup, and helping you explore the results.
An AI agent for manufacturing quality, built into Spark and Spark Pro. Ready for the next question.
A little spark.
Then things start moving.
Four ways to work with Sparky.
Start with a question.
OV Spark Pro Sparky
Illustrative walkthrough
What would you like to do?
Your words are a good place to start.
Actual interface with illustrative animated overlays. Example images and results.
A first step,
Find the detail
that makes the difference.
A reflection. A faint edge. A feature that disappears in shadow. Smart Imaging brings different captures together so you can compare before you commit.
Ask. Understand.
Get back to the line.
“What do the side lights do?” A small question can stop the work. Ask it where you are and get an explanation with illustrations, right beside the camera controls.
Good questions come
from every shift.
Quality. Maintenance. Operations. One camera passes through many hands, and everyone brings a different kind of know-how.
Sparky gives the people closest to the process a shared place to begin. Bring your experience, describe what you need, and work from there.
Bring your team’s next questionYour camera saw it.
Sparky helps you find it.
A shift’s worth of images. A question in everyday language.
Follow the answer all the way back to the part.

A first project.
A real production line.
At Mansfield Engineered Components, a quality engineer with little prior vision-camera experience built an end-of-line inspection where the process had relied on an operator’s visual check.
A missing washer was the most frequent defect. The team has since moved Spark between two lines.
“[Spark is] reliable, easy to use, and easy to train your maintenance people on.”

Sparky lives
on your camera.
Onboard Sparky runs on the camera. Production inspection and onboard assistance can work without a cloud connection.
Choose optional cloud intelligence for more capable assistance and features such as HMI generation. When enabled, the information needed for that assistance leaves the device.
Changes stay in your hands. Write actions ask for approval. Sparky’s tool calls are recorded in the camera’s audit logs.

Compare full camera specificationsA few questions
for Sparky.
What is Sparky?
Sparky is the AI agent built into Overview AI’s OV Spark and Spark Pro cameras. It helps with inspection tool selection, recipe building, operator screens, camera questions, and exploring saved inspection images and results.
Is Sparky an LLM for manufacturing?
Sparky brings language-model assistance to manufacturing quality through a focused agent for visual inspection. It works with the camera’s tools and inspection data. Configured inspection tools make production pass/fail decisions, while Sparky helps your team build and understand the inspection.
Does Sparky work without the cloud?
Yes. Onboard Sparky and production inspection run on the camera without a cloud connection. Optional cloud intelligence provides more capable assistance and is required for some features, including HMI layout generation. When enabled, the information needed for cloud assistance leaves the device.
Can Sparky change my inspection?
Sparky’s write tools ask for your approval before making a change. Its tool calls are recorded in Audit Logs. Your team configures imaging, trains the relevant tools, integrates the station, and validates the inspection before production.
Is Sparky included with Spark and Spark Pro?
Yes. Both cameras include onboard Sparky and ten AI and rules-based inspection tools. Spark has a 1.2 MP sensor; Spark Pro has a 5 MP sensor. Choose based on the detail your part needs and validate the complete recipe at your required line speed.
How can I see Sparky on my part?
Talk to an Overview engineer about your part, acceptable variations, and the defects you need to catch. We’ll walk through the inspection workflow and help assess which Spark camera fits your application.
