How to Build and Execute an Inspection Pipeline with Custom Post-Processing
A 5-step workflow to take an AI inspection from pipeline design to production output — including the Python plugin layer where your domain logic lives.
- 5 steps
- ~30 minutes for a first pass
What You Will Build
By the end of this guide, you'll have a running inspection workflow that detects incoming images, applies your AI pipeline, and runs your own Python logic to produce production-ready output.
A Configured Pipeline
AI models and image-processing steps assembled visually in ReliVision.
Application-Specific Audit Logic
Rules, thresholds and report formats defined in ReliAudit.
Live Image Ingestion
A folder monitor or camera trigger streams data to the runtime live.
Custom Python Plugin
Your own post-processing — measurements, transforms, business rules.
ReliVision works almost like an SDK — keep the core inspection workflow, then plug in your own logic where it matters most.
Roadmap
The 5-Step Workflow
One connected flow from pipeline creation to production output. Each step is covered in full below.
Build Pipeline
ReliVision
Assemble image processing and AI models visually.
Configure Audit Logic
ReliAudit
Set rules, thresholds and report formats.
Launch & Ingest
Web HMI
Start runtime; feed images via folder or camera.
Add Post-Processing
Python plugin
Drop a script into the plugins folder.
Review & Verify
Audit review
Inspect outputs, annotations and structured data.
Time: about 30 minutes for a first pass once the prerequisites are in place.
Build the Pipeline in ReliVision
Build the inspection logic directly inside ReliVision.
- Define how images will be processed and analyzed
- Assemble inspection steps visually
- Prepare the workflow for deployment
The pipeline defines how each image will be processed, analyzed and routed.

Transfer to ReliAudit and Configure Audit Logic
Once the pipeline is ready, transfer it to ReliAudit and configure the application-specific logic.
- Define what to inspect, including scope, assets and severity
- Set rules and thresholds to classify findings and prioritize actions
- Specify report formats, metrics and downstream deliverables

Launch the Web HMI and Start Image Ingestion
Select the audit, launch runtime and let images flow in for real-time inspection.
- Select the relevant audit
- Load and manage inspection processes
- Start runtime inspection
Images can now flow in for real-time inspection.

Add Custom Python Post-Processing
Use Python scripts to add calculations, transformations and application-specific outputs.
- Navigate to ReliAudit\PostProcessed\plugins
- Drop your Python script into the plugins folder
- Launch with main.exe

Review Outputs and Verify Success
Images are detected, inspected, post-processed and surfaced as operational results.
- Detect incoming images
- Trigger the inspection pipeline
- Apply post-processing automatically

Why This Matters
Unified Inspection
Pipeline, audit, runtime and post-processing in one workflow — no glue code.
Adaptable at Scale
New product, new line, new rule — change the pipeline or plugin, not the platform.
Faster Deployment
Move from prototype to production without rebuilding for each application.
From pipeline to production output
ReliVision takes you from pipeline creation to fully customised inspection outputs in a single integrated flow — whether you are deploying standard inspections or building advanced application-specific logic.
