About

Kitov provides an AI-powered visual inspection platform that enables machine builders, system integrators, and manufacturing planners to automate CAD-based inspection planning and detect quality issues across complex parts and products. The platform uses a hybrid model combining artificial intelligence and classical 3D computer vision to identify both cosmetic defects (scratches, dents, discoloration) and mechanical defects (worn, untightened, or defective screws, defective labels, bent pins). As an open platform, Kitov integrates with best-in-breed detectors and hardware components, supporting 3D metrology and adapting to any 3D structure or geometry. The software learns continuously, reducing inspection errors when previously flagged flaws are marked as non-defective. Kitov serves a broad range of industries including defense, aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and electronics, addressing the persistent challenge of error-prone manual inspections in smart factories. The company positions itself as foundational intelligence for Industry 4.0, offering CAD2SCAN, Planner, and Inspector modules. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Petah Tikva, Israel, Kitov has raised $10.0M in Series A funding from investors including Global IoT Technology Ventures and HAHN Group.
