Currently, 3D volumetric quality control is sample-based and offline. The lack of in-line solutions causes batches of products to be taken out of the production process as a quality precaution, and as such a significant waste cost occurs in many sectors.
To overcome challenges related to process control and false rejects, the iXCon research partners have developed a breakthrough in non-destructive in-line detection of product defects.
iXCon’s smart combination of flexible hardware and intelligent software has resulted in three successful use cases and a step-up technology for implementation in sectors such as agro-food, product manufacturing, process monitoring and 3D printed materials.
At the iXCon closing event we’ll present to you the research results and use cases.
Hoping to see you there.
