Application areas of industrial image processing systems

2D/3D geometric measurements

Image processing systems are capable of performing precise, non-contact dimensional inspections. In 2D applications, planar measurements such as hole diameters and edge lengths can be evaluated, while 3D technologies also enable the measurement of spatial characteristics such as height and volume. Industrial use cases include post-production inspection of components or detection of deformations. This is especially important in the automotive and electronics industries, where tolerances are strict. The method is fast and provides high repeatability.

Code reading and label verification

Image processing systems are capable of automatically reading and verifying various codes (1D/2D barcodes, QR codes) and printed markings. This ensures product traceability and accurate identification. For example, on a production line, it can be verified whether the correct part number or manufacturing date has been applied to the product. In addition, the system can detect incorrect or missing markings. This is particularly important in pharmaceutical and food industry applications.

Detection of surface defects and contaminants

Image processing systems are capable of detecting various surface defects such as scratches, dents, cracks, or contamination. Inspection can be performed on metal, plastic, glass, or even painted surfaces. For example, even the smallest scratch on a polished component can be automatically detected. This is especially important in applications with high aesthetic or functional requirements. The technology helps reduce scrap rates and ensures consistent product quality.
