General information
- Short Summary
- A German SME offers an advanced optical quality control system and measurement solutions that integrate artificial intelligence for automated quality assurance and production process recording in the manufacturing of metal and plastic packaging. The system is ideal for surface analysis, print inspection, position control, measurement, and completeness checks. It minimizes pseudo-rejections with reliable defect detection. The company is seeking partners for distribution agreements.
- Full Description
-
With increasing speed of production processes and rising quality requirements automatic quality control has become one of the vital business strategies.
The German company provides versatile and customisable automated visual inspection systems tailored to meet individual customer requirements. Using its own universal software and inspection methods, the company can adapt high-quality hardware components such as cameras, lighting and industrial computers to specific customer applications. These systems can be configured as single or multiple station setups, depending on customer requirements. Double and multiple snaps can be used for enhanced defect detection, ensuring optimum illumination even in low contrast scenarios. With the ability to inspect up to 60 items per second, our systems offer unmatched efficiency and accuracy.
The systems achieve one hundred percent quality control for assembly lines with continuous or pulsed feed, for single test objects as well as for endless materials and sheets. Different inspection activities, such as, analysis of surface, print, completeness, position control and measurement can be combined.
Therefore, the systems can be used for a wide array of products. The company has extensive experience in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food packaging sectors.
The company wishes to extend their international business relation. Therefore, the company is interested in finding distribution partners, who are able to sell industrial quality control systems.
The ideal partners should possess technical education and a keen interest in long-term collaboration. Suitable partners may include small distribution companies or machine manufacturers, particularly those from the feeding, separating, or packaging industries.
In this case, it is the task at hand to integrate the German company’s technology into their existing processes. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The proprietary software, based on inspection methods (imitating cognitive abilities, similar to humans), for quality control system is exceptionally conceptualized: during one production cycle, the defects can be inspected based on several different criteria. Not only size and contrast of defects will be detected, but many other defects characteristics as well.
Given this sophisticated technology, the main goal of image processing is reached:
reduce pseudo-defects rejection to minimum while ensuring the highest defect detection rate.
Advantages:
• Best detection rates using unique und unparalleled proprietary technology
• Minimized pseudo-rejections with reliable defects detection
• Inspection of up to 60 objects per second even in low-contrast cases
• Extensive logging of statistical data and effective remote maintenance
• Clear, intuitive and easy-to-use user interface, in customer language
• Continuous (24/7) inspection of test item quality
• Timely notice of excessive defect quantity
• Optimization of production via the reduction of relevant expenses
• Price-performance ratio: The vast majority of image processing systems for automated quality control available on the market are made of complex software libraries by combining and trimming them to customer needs, which increases the final production cost enormously. The developed system is a universal serial product, which is ready to accommodate specific customer needs due to its flexibility and innovative design, thus significantly lowering the cost of the quality control for the manufacturer. The system is priced significantly below individually tailored systems. - Stage of Development

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
Distribution partners are sought.
The partners should be technically trained and already be involved in relevant business. The German company would of course transfer the specific technological know-how and provide individual coaching.
Partners could be
1. Small one-person distribution companies working on a success fee basis.
2. Machinery producers, manufacturers of packaging lines. Thanks to its versatility the quality control system can easily be integrated into production processes.
Long-term cooperations are targeted. Cross-selling collaborations are possible. - Type and Size of Partner
