The Surface Inspection Summit (SIS), the premier international event dedicated to advancements in surface inspection technologies, returns for its 22nd
edition on 20–21 November 2025 in Aachen (Germany).
Recognised as the leading platform for innovation in industrial surface inspection, SIS 2025 will bring together global experts and professionals from the fields of machine vision, quality assurance, artificial intelligence, and manufacturing. The conference will delve into cutting-edge developments in 2D and 3D imaging, advanced camera and lighting systems, novel capturing techniques, pattern recognition, and predictive quality tools.
As automated surface inspection systems (ASIS) become increasingly sophisticated and seamlessly integrated into production lines, SIS 2025 will focus not only on the latest technological breakthroughs but also on their practical applications in real-world industrial settings.
Key sessions will spotlight the use of ASIS in a range of environments, including:
- Flat metal products
- Long products
- Slabs and heavy plate
- Aluminium, copper, and mixed metal production lines – with special attention to battery manufacturing
In addition to these focused technical discussions, the conference will address wider topics such as data fusion, AI-powered inspection, system accuracy and usability, and the transformative impact of digitalisation on modern quality management.
Attendees can expect a robust technical programme, insightful presentations, practical vendor workshops, and ample opportunities for networking. An on-site exhibition will also feature cutting-edge solutions from leading technology providers.
Whether you're a researcher, developer, engineer, or decision-maker, SIS 2025 offers a unique opportunity to connect with industry peers, exchange knowledge, and influence the future of industrial surface inspection.
