001 · Overview

Automate visual inspection in CTL line — detect defects, measure width and length.

In Cut-to-Length (CTL) operations, where metal coils are flattened and cut into sheets, maintaining surface quality and dimensional accuracy is essential. Defects and miscuts can compromise downstream manufacturing and cause significant material loss.

Intelgic's AI-driven Machine Vision Solution offers real-time inspection of metal sheets in motion, ensuring each plate is defect-free and meets the exact length and width specifications — all without slowing down the production line.
