WEB INSPECTION
Striving for perfection I
Susan Fourtané on the increasing demands being placed on web inspection solutions to achieve zero-defect manufacturing
24 IMAGING AND MACHINE VISION EUROPE APRIL/MAY 2023
ndustrial web inspection systems enable the improvement of manufacturing efficiency and product
quality by helping to detect, minimise and eliminate defects and process errors. Such systems are increasingly being automated, enabling manufacturers to more easily react to defects as they occur in real time. According to the authors of ‘Application
of automation for in-line quality inspection, a zero-defect manufacturing approach’, recently published in the Journal of Manufacturing Systems, poor product quality can increase firms’ financial losses, environmental impact, and waste of resources. Poor quality can also have
a negative social impact, affecting the reputation of a company through its substandard products and unsatisfied clients. Te authors of the research show that sustainable manufacturing can be achieved through the implementation of zero-defect manufacturing. “Making things right on the first try is the central tenet of zero-defect manufacturing,” they say. “In doing so, quality is enhanced and sustainability is raised, which ultimately results in higher customer satisfaction, which is crucial for a manufacturing company’s success.” Trough new system launches and
industry case studies, Imaging and Machine Vision Europe recently learnt from vision firms how the automation of web inspection is bringing manufacturers closer to achieving the ultimate goal of zero- defect manufacturing.
New print inspection systems respond to quality demands One of the main requests and imminent pressures from manufacturers when requesting web inspection technology is around quality, especially when their business serves high-end clients. “Customers’ demands on quality have
