Inspekto, the German-Israeli pioneer of autonomous machine vision, has made its signature product available to Univent Medical, a face mask manufacturer based in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, who recently established a new production line to respond to the pressing market demand for emergency supplies. The INSPEKTO S70 is the first self-
contained, out-of-the-box vision inspection system for industrial quality assurance. Unlike traditional machine vision solutions, which are custom-built and require a complex, long and time-consuming integration process, the INSPEKTO S70 is a fully configured device which comes ready to use, only requiring final
manufacturer based in Baden- Württemberg, Germany, recently installed the only autonomous
integration on the production line. This makes the product ideal for
manufacturers who need reliable quality assurance fast, eliminating the need to wait for the lead times of traditional machine vision projects, which require several weeks or even months to be developed and integrated. The INSPEKTO S70 has recently been
installed for the quality inspection of FFP2 face masks. In particular, the system is expected to detect defects in the masks’ ultrasonic soldering, metal nose holder, company and CE-logo, and straps soldering. Inspection of the metal nose holder is of critical importance, as defective metal strips could permanently damage the cutting machine on the production line. The last few weeks showed that the
results of the installation are very positive, as the system was able to perform accurate and reliable quality assurance, flagging up masks that presented defects in the designated areas, as well as metal strips that could damage equipment. “Manual inspection carries a very high error rate, and we can’t allow that to happen when
producing critical emergency supplies, such as face masks,” states Jürgen Eichinger, operations manager at Univent Medical. “Quality is at the core of all our operations, which is why we needed a flexible machine vision solution that would be quick to set up and easy to operate. We found the ideal partner in Inspekto.” The INSPEKTO S70 could soon reach the
plants of other medical equipment manufacturers to support them during the pandemic and beyond.
