A fully automated high speed camera based inspection system developed to inspect textiles either in process (eg stenter, compactor, sanforiser, laminator etc.), or as part of a purpose built high speed fabric transport machine running from reel to reel or A frame to A frame.

Return on investment is from multiple sources including increased rolling throughput, so lower labour costs, increased material utilisation from accurate and optimised cut plan creation and reduction of customer claims.

• Operating at speeds in excess of 100m/minute, defects are detected, classified and graded in real time.
• An electronic defect map is created and may be optiised for cutting to smaller pieces with resulting benefits from increased yield.
• Defect reporting can be achieved directly form the system.
• Customer claims can be challenged with video evidence of fabric condition at the time of inspection.
• The system has an autotrain function and classifies (names) and grades defects in real time.
