003 · Process

How it works.

Continuous synchronized imaging, controlled illumination, and on-edge AI inference — all wrapped in actionable QA outputs.

Continuous Imaging

As turf moves on the conveyor, a line-scan camera captures high-resolution lines synchronized to belt speed, reconstructing a seamless full-width image of the entire roll.

Uniform Illumination

Specialized line illumination ensures stable, glare-controlled lighting — essential for detecting stitching, shade variation, and texture anomalies.

AI Inspection in Real Time

Intelgic's Certainty AI analyzes each frame on a GPU PC to detect, classify, and localize defects with pixel-level precision.

Actionable Output

Trigger alarms/markers, visualize defect coordinates on the Roll Map, and auto-generate batch/roll reports for QA and traceability.

009 · FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Common questions about line-scan vision deployments for sports turf production lines.

Do you use IR or 3D sensors?

No. The system is designed to achieve full inspection performance using optical line-scan imaging and controlled lighting only.

Can it keep up with our fastest line?

Yes. We size camera line rate, illumination, and GPU to your conveyor speed and desired defect size.

What about different turf SKUs and colors?

Use recipes: each SKU gets tuned thresholds, ROIs, color references, and defect classes.

How do we trace defects back to production?

Each roll gets a unique ID and a Roll Map with coordinates, timestamps, and images — pushed to MES/ERP if required.

What's the typical installation time?

Most retrofits complete within a short planned maintenance window; mechanical readiness and cable routing influence the schedule.
