Surface Control AI

Automated surface inspection system

Finding aesthetic or structural defects in surfaces is a difficult task even for experienced inspectors.

Manual inspection is time-consuming and imprecise compared to a modern machine vision system based on artificial intelligence.

Surface Control AI is an advanced surface inspection solution that combines decades of engineering work with vision technology and the latest AI techniques.

It enables automated identification and classification of more than 20 defect types on various surfaces, from raw wood to painted and lacquered surfaces, metal, plastic, etc.

Benefits of Surface Control AI

Improve product quality through consistent and accurate inspections
Improve efficiency by automating labor-intensive manual tasks
Improve yield by speeding up production flow and reducing discard

Advanced detection Detects and classifies highly complex defect types such as orange peel, glossy stripes, roller marks, etc.

High accuracy Up to 98-99% accuracy. Improves quality and minimizes discard by lowering false rejects.

Fast production

High-speed inspection: +50m/min (depends partly on product color). Allowing for an efficient production with high quality standards
.

Finding challenging defects with AI

Artificial intelligence makes it possible to detect and classify very complex defects like orange peel, glossy stripes, scratches, etc.

By training a neural network with images of good and bad samples, we can use machine learning to mimic the experienced inspector's assessment and achieve a more consistent and accurate inspection process. We use our automated annotation software to speed up the training process.

Unlike a standard all-in-one AI solution, Surface Control AI can handle complex inspection tasks that require customisation and a deep insight into the use of machine learning and vision technology.

Valuable insights from your production

The system provides valuable insight into production quality and can help monitor drift, as well as compare suppliers of raw materials and products.

Surface Control AI also offers the ability to generate statistics and trend graphs.

Adapted to your needs

Every Surface Control AI system is tailored to meet your specific needs and fit into your production line.

The system can be configured to inspect both surfaces and edges.
