How WyeTec Applies X-ray Imaging and Machine Vision in Security, NDT, and Food Inspection

WyeTec (wyetec.co.uk) is a custom software development and systems integration company, established in 1999, whose specialist areas are X-ray imaging, machine vision, and non-destructive testing (NDT). It applies these technologies to product development for the security, NDT, and food inspection sectors, building systems for both manual and automated inspection. If your project involves capturing and analysing images — whether X-ray or visible-light — and turning that analysis into an inspection decision, WyeTec's stated focus is directly relevant.

What WyeTec actually does with X-ray imaging

WyeTec describes specialist knowledge of X-ray imaging combined with systems integration. In practice, that means the company works on the full chain around an X-ray inspection system rather than just one component:

• Image acquisition — capturing X-ray data from the imaging hardware.
• Image analysis — processing that data to detect or classify what is inside a scanned object.
• Systems integration — connecting the imaging subsystem to the surrounding hardware, software, and business systems.
• Custom software — building the application layer that operators or automated lines use to act on the results.

The sectors named on the site are security screening, industrial non-destructive testing, microscopy, and machine vision. For security, the natural fit is screening of bags, parcels, or cargo. For industrial NDT, it is inspecting parts or materials for internal defects without damaging them. For food inspection, it is checking products for foreign bodies or other quality issues.

What machine vision adds

WyeTec's machine vision work is described as computer-based image capture and analysis, with systems developed for both manual and automated inspection. That distinction matters when choosing an approach:

The same underlying capability — capturing images and analysing them — serves both modes; the difference is where the decision is made.

Why the software side matters as much as the imaging

A recurring theme in WyeTec's description is that imaging expertise is paired with Microsoft development platforms, SQL Server, and business system design. For an inspection project, that combination covers questions that pure imaging vendors may not:

• How do inspection results get stored, queried, and reported?
• How does the inspection system talk to existing business or production systems?
• How is the application maintained and extended over its life?

WyeTec also offers .NET / legacy application migration, framed as future-proofing legacy applications by migrating them to .NET. If you already run an older inspection or imaging application, this is a relevant service alongside new development.

How to decide whether WyeTec fits your project

WyeTec presents itself as working with both new and established companies, and as assisting in bringing products to market for applications such as security screening, industrial NDT, microscopy, and machine vision. It also states it has been developing bespoke software since 1999 and working with clients worldwide for over 20 years.

Consider WyeTec if:

• Your problem is fundamentally about image capture and analysis — X-ray or machine vision.
• You need custom software rather than an off-the-shelf product.
• The project involves integrating imaging hardware with other systems.
• You operate in security, NDT, food inspection, or an adjacent imaging field.
• You have a legacy application that needs migrating to .NET.

Look elsewhere if you need a standard, packaged inspection product with no custom development, or if your project has no imaging or systems-integration component.

Practical next step

The site's structure points to the fastest way to evaluate fit: the Portfolio section is split into X-ray imaging projects, machine vision projects, and custom software projects, and each service area (X-ray imaging, machine vision, systems integration, .NET migration, software development, OEM services) has its own page. Reviewing the portfolio entries closest to your own application — security screening, NDT, or food inspection — will tell you more about relevant experience than the service descriptions alone. For a specific project, the Contact us page is the direct route, and the site also publishes a Confidentiality / GDPR statement if data handling is part of your evaluation.
