Smart factory module for automatic product quality control

Smart factory module for automatic product quality control

Many metal components in the automotive industry are surface protected with electrophoretic metal coating (KTL). Various defects can occur during the surface protection application process. Therefore, all products need to be inspected visually, especially when manufacturers undertake to deliver products without defects. In order to avoid labor-intensive manual inspection of serial production, an automated control system based on 3D machine vision has been developed. A wide team of experts has developed and manufactured a sophisticated automated control device. It combines robotic systems for product handling, detection and control systems, and the most important 3D machine vision systems. In doing so, the MCE laboratory played a leading role in the development and implementation in the production of imaging systems and fault detection software.

The project was awarded by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry at the Innovation Days 2019 with a silver award, and a gold award for innovation by the GZDBK.
