Machine vision technologies in the production of building materials

There is a huge competition in the building materials market today, each manufacturer is trying to stand out, offer the best price and good quality products, and at the same time earn.
Without the use of modern technology, it is becoming more and more difficult to do this. One such technology is machine vision.
Together with Quatromatic experts, we will figure out who needs a machine vision system and for what tasks.

What is machine vision?

Machine vision is a technology for creating modern automated systems that are capable of continuously and with high accuracy to perform highly specialized tasks. In general, to make the production of building materials much more efficient, products of better quality, employees more productive, and customers more satisfied.

What industry is it suitable for?

Machine vision in the building materials industry helps improve the efficiency and accuracy of product quality control. Machine vision systems are used to solve problems related to defects in materials, geometric parameters and technical characteristics.
Manufacturers of building materials such as brick, concrete, steel structures and other materials manufacturers need quality control systems to detect defects and improve manufacturing processes. This helps them to remain competitive in the market and increase consumer confidence.

What tasks does machine vision solve in the production of building materials?

One of the tasks that machine vision solves in the production of building materials is the detection of defects in products. Machine vision systems can automatically detect cracks, chips, bulges, bumps and other defects on the surface of materials, which helps prevent defective products from being released.

Another task that machine vision solves is the control of the geometric parameters of materials. Machine vision systems can automatically measure the dimensions and shape of parts, which helps to detect deviations from the specified parameters and prevent the production of poor-quality materials.

Some manufacturers of building materials are already using machine vision systems on their production lines. For example, Saint-Gobain uses machine vision systems for glass quality control, while CEMEX uses machine vision systems for concrete quality control.
Thus, the use of machine vision in the production of building materials can improve the efficiency and accuracy of product quality control, which in turn helps manufacturers improve production processes and remain competitive in the market.
