001 · Why It Matters

Color & Design matters.

Your customer sees the color, design, and printing before anything else. In the first few seconds, they form an opinion about your product quality and your brand value.
Even small color shifts, print defects, design misalignment, smudges, missing artwork, or shade variation can create a poor impression, lead to complaints, and damage customer trust.
Intelgic helps manufacturers catch these issues before the customer finds them. Our AI-powered vision inspection system verifies color shade, design accuracy, and printing quality on every product, helping protect your brand consistency, product appearance, and customer confidence.

002 · What It Does

A complete inspection pipeline.

From golden-template onboarding through pixel-level mark-up — Intelgic's vision AI handles every stage of color and design conformance with provable, auditable results.

  • 01

    Reads your golden template (image or vector artwork) and defines ROIs/zones — or auto-segments complex designs.

  • 02

    Measures color in CIELAB / LCh and evaluates ΔE (76/94/2000) against tolerance thresholds you set per zone.

  • 03

    Compares design geometry (logos, motifs, stripes, halftones) for pattern, registration, and scale/rotation deviations.

  • 04

    Flags any out-of-tolerance area and marks the exact pixel-level location with defect class, zone name, ΔE value, and severity.

  • 05

    Pass/Fail in under a second — with alerts to stack lights, PLCs, or dashboards.

  • 06

    Stores evidence (images + measurements) and issues Digital Quality Certificates (DQCs) for shipments.

004 · Applications

Typical applications.

Deployed across packaging, textiles, decor, ceramics, automotive, and pharma — wherever color shade and design fidelity matter.

Packaging & Labels

Cartons, sleeves, pouches, shrink wraps, blister cards — full graphic conformance + ΔE per zone.

Textiles & Apparel

Fabric prints, jerseys, footwear, woven patterns — color fastness & weave alignment.

Decor & Panels

Wooden panels, laminates, vinyl, wallcoverings — grain pattern + color batch consistency.

Ceramics & Glass

Tiles, printed glass, lenses with micro-text — texture-aware color and registration checks.

Automotive & Consumer

Bezels, dashboards, plastics, painted parts — paint-shade & surface graphics QA.

Pharma & Medical

Color bands, SKU stripes, serial/lot color cues — GxP-ready audit trails.

005 · Workflow

From master to verdict.

A five-stage pipeline — onboarding, imaging & calibration, comparison, decision & mark-up, and reporting — engineered to drop into any production line.

STEP 01

Onboarding the Master

Import golden artwork (image or vector). Define ROIs or auto-segment regions. Assign tolerances (e.g., ΔE00 ≤ 1.0 logos, ≤ 2.0 background).

STEP 02

Imaging & Calibration

The system controls cameras, lenses, and lights; runs white/gray-card routines and applies ICC profiles. Optional spectro for periodic verification.

STEP 03

High-Speed Comparison

Each frame is normalized for illumination and perspective; Certainty AI computes ΔE per pixel/zone and runs design conformance checks.

STEP 04

Decision & Mark-up

Fails are highlighted directly on the review image with pinpoint overlays. The station outputs Pass/Fail to the line and logs full measurement data.

STEP 05

Reporting & DQC

Lot & shift reports, export to CSV/Excel/REST. Generate Digital Quality Certificates with embedded images for warranty/traceability.

006 · Hardware

Engineered hardware stack.

From cameras and optics to compute and mechanics — every component selected for color fidelity and line uptime.

01

Cameras

12–65 MP area-scan for discrete items; 8–16K line-scan for continuous webs.

02

Lenses

Industrial prime / telecentric for critical geometry; liquid lenses for variable focus.

03

Lighting

Dome / bar / coax; polarized to suppress glare; tunable intensity and angle.

04

Sensing

Encoders, photoelectric triggers; optional spectro / temperature sensors.

05

Compute

GPU controller (edge PC or industrial IPC), UPS, control panel with light controller.

06

Mechanics

Enclosed tunnel or hood to block ambient light; stands, mounts, and guards.

007 · Integration

Plugs into your stack.

Native IT & OT connectors, role-based security, and proven performance tolerances — engineered for 24×7 industrial duty.

Integration & IT

  • PLC / MES / ERP: OPC UA/DA, Modbus/TCP, REST APIs, CSV drops
  • User Management: roles, audit logs, electronic sign-off
  • Data: image retention, compression, auto-purge, backups
  • Deployment: on-prem edge; optional cloud dashboard mirroring
  • Security: network segmentation, TLS, AD/SSO (optional)

Performance & Tolerances

  • Color accuracy: ΔE2000 repeatability ≤ 0.5–1.0 with proper calibration
  • Throughput: <1 s decision area-scan; line speed matched for web inspection
  • Placement accuracy: defect mark-up at pixel resolution per-zone
  • Uptime: 24×7 industrial duty with health monitoring
008 · Delivery

What you get.

A turnkey inspection cell — hardware, software, recipes, integration, commissioning, and optional AMC.

01

Turnkey imaging station(s): cameras, lenses, lights, enclosures, cabling.

02

Industrial compute with Certainty AI pre-installed.

03

Recipe library (initial SKUs), tolerance configuration, acceptance matrix.

04

PLC/dashboard integration, alarm stack light, training & documentation.

05

Commissioning, SAT / FAT support, and optional AMC.

Yes — per-zone ΔE thresholds and design rules. Logos and brand colors often get tighter limits than backgrounds.

Enclosed optics + controlled lighting, white-balance routines, ICC/device profiles, and optional spectro checks on intervals.

Yes. We use cross-polarization, dome/coax lighting, HDR capture, and adaptive normalization to stabilize measurements.

Geometric normalization (scale / rotation / warp) aligns samples to the golden template before evaluation.

Absolutely — encoder-synchronized triggering and line-scan options keep pace with webs, sheets, or conveyors.

Ready · 010

Get started with a feasibility study.

Bring us your golden template and two or three production samples. We'll run a quick feasibility study, propose the optics + lighting stack, and deliver a readiness plan with ROI.
