IISR
ISR (branded ISR Specular Vision®) is an Andalusian industrial-tech company, spun off from the University of Jaén in 2016, that builds AI-powered machine vision systems (its proprietary OIT® / Specular Vision® technology) for automated aesthetic quality inspection of reflective and transparent surfaces in industries like automotive, glass, and steel. The company has over 40 employees, more than 37 systems deployed worldwide, and closed a venture investment round led by Axon Partners Group in January 2024 to fund international expansion.
