Manufacturer of LED standard lighting for visual inspection

We are born to see

We humans are born to see. We are remarkable visual beings. Around 70 percent of all sensory impressions are perceived through our eyes.
With our standard light solutions, we make colors visible exactly as they appear in nature under daylight conditions – for natural, comfortable and reliable vision.

Holistic lighting solutions for people, applications and technology

planistar has drawn on international standards and extensive practical experience to develop a holistic lighting concept that considers:

• people and their visual perception
• their working environment
• diverse applications and tasks
• and the interaction between humans and AI-based inspection systems

The result is lighting that supports both human vision and modern visual inspection processes.

Standard light solutions for visual inspection and quality control

planistar is an experienced manufacturer of standard light illumination systems for visual inspection and surface inspection in industry, laboratories and quality assurance.
Our standard light solutions create reproducible lighting conditions and enable objective evaluation of colors, surfaces and materials – compliant with standards, reliable and practice-oriented.

Professional standard lighting for visual inspection

The standard light systems from planistar comply with relevant international standards and are ideally suited for:

• color assessment and color matching
• surface inspection
• quality control
• visual inspection throughout industrial inspection processes

Depending on your requirements, we provide standard illuminants such as D50, D65 and UV light, precisely matched to your application and industry.
Our lighting systems ensure constant illuminance (lux levels), high color rendering (CRI) and stable lighting conditions for safe and repeatable visual inspections.

Manufacturer of standard light booths and workplace lighting

As a specialized standard light manufacturer, planistar designs and produces:

• light tables and backlight systems
• standard light booths for color and visual inspection
• standard light workplace luminaires for industrial quality inspection
• LED-based standard light systems for energy-efficient and long-lasting operation

Our solutions are used in industries such as automotive, printing and media, paint and plastics, textiles, as well as in laboratories and inspection facilities.

Precision standard lighting for quality assurance

With ergonomic workplace lighting, advanced LED standard light technology and custom-configurable systems, planistar helps companies perform visual inspections in compliance with standards, efficiently and reproducibly.
Our lighting solutions actively contribute to error prevention, process reliability and consistent product quality.

planistar – your partner for standard light, visual inspection and professional inspection lighting.

Our motto

We don’t just deliver products – we create optimal working conditions.

Reliable lighting for visual inspection workstations helps employees detect defects in components, workpieces and products at an early stage. High brightness alone is not enough. Light colour, lighting direction, contrast and uniformity must be matched to the specific inspection task and the surface of the inspection object.

Different lighting methods are used depending on the application. Front lighting, for example, is suitable for inspecting surfaces, coatings, printed features and assembly conditions. Backlighting can be used to assess contours, material inclusions, holes, edges and transparent components. For glossy and reflective surfaces, large-area diffuse lighting can reduce unwanted reflections and make subtle deviations more visible.

Typical applications for our lighting solutions include:

• Incoming goods inspection and final inspection
• Surface inspection for scratches, contamination and damage
• Inspection of plastic, metal, glass and painted surfaces
• Inspection of printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies
• Detection of colour deviations and material differences
• Assembly inspection for missing or incorrectly fitted components
• Inspection of transparent, translucent and light-transmitting materials

For an ergonomic visual quality inspection workstation, the lighting should provide uniform illumination with minimal shadows. At the same time, glare and unwanted reflections must be avoided. This reduces eye strain and supports focused manual inspection, even over extended periods.

As inspection objects, surfaces and defect characteristics can vary significantly, we develop both standard inspection lights and customised lighting solutions for industrial visual inspection. Dimensions, light colour, illuminance, dimming and mechanical design can be tailored to the workstation and the specific quality inspection task.

Real components and typical defect patterns can be taken into account when selecting the appropriate lighting. This results in a customised visual inspection workstation where relevant characteristics can be reliably detected and inspection results assessed with confidence.
