Improve speed, throughput and reliability with automated inspection for heavy industry
Vision intelligence can automate the inspection and monitoring of bulk material manufacturing, optimising production to transform productivity.
In heavy industries such as metals, energy or steel production, any automated inspection or monitoring solution has to be reliable to replace existing manual checks. And it needs to be tough enough to handle extreme temperatures and environments.
Automated vision inspection can deliver higher throughputs of materials and products, while being rugged and 100% accurate. It can also easily connect to existing stock control systems to reduce supply issues too.
Tough inspection solutions that are built to handle extremes
Ensure repeatability
Repeatability is the biggest issue for many heavy or bulk materials industries. The product has to be the same every time for the material to perform – particularly true of safety materials or heavy metals. Automated vision can remove the need for labour-intensive manual checks and prevent human error.
Solve resource issues
The biggest single issue for any manufacturer is resource. Skilled maintenance engineers can often be in short supply, so being able to leave lines running 24/7 is so important. Automated vision intelligence can provide a long-term solution to the immediate challenge of resource – and all of the difficulties that come with it.
Find efficiency savings
Manage rising prices or material scarcity by getting it done right first time, every time. Vision intelligence can improve quality control before and after production, reducing the need for reworks and preventing wastage when supplies are scarce or prices are soaring.
Run complex inspections
Automated vision intelligence can carry out simple or complex and inspections – from high-speed label or code inspection and optical character recognition (OCR) to 2D and 3D object identification, sortation, presence or absence verification, parts recognition and much more.
Prevent downtime
Downtime can have a huge impact on any business, but few more so than in heavy and bulk materials industries. Automated vision inspection can reduce the risk of downtime occurring, and prevent human error, reducing possible product safety issues slipping past traditional manual checks.
Ensure traceability
Showing and proving product traceability is crucial for quality, safety and reputation. Vision intelligence can follow products through the supply chain, checking batch codes and ensuring the correct product labelling to give customers confidence in your products. And make future recalls easier to trace.
