AUTOMATION & INSPECTION
Modern manufacturing increasingly depends on automated systems that can inspect, measure, identify and classify products without interrupting production.
Imaging for Manufacturing, Inspection and Quality
Online Solutions provides imaging and vision technologies for automation and inspection applications across manufacturing and process industries. Our solutions can range from individual imaging components to complete vision systems integrated with existing machinery or developed as dedicated inspection systems. Applications may involve area scan or line scan imaging, visible or infrared imaging, controlled illumination, image acquisition and processing, measurement, identification and automated decision-making.
Application Areas
Automation & Inspection
Surface Inspection
Imaging systems for identifying surface defects, contamination, scratches, marks, texture variations and other visual anomalies on manufactured materials and products.
Dimensional Inspection & Measurement
Camera, optics and imaging systems for non-contact measurement, dimensional verification, profile analysis and quality control.
Line Scan Inspection
High-resolution line scan imaging for continuous materials, webs and surfaces where inspection is performed while the material is moving through a production process.
OCR, OCV & Identification
Imaging systems for character recognition, code reading, verification, marking inspection and product identification.
Print & Packaging Inspection
Vision systems for checking printed information, labels, packaging quality, registration, presence/absence and other production parameters.
X-Ray & NDT Imaging
Imaging solutions for non-destructive testing and inspection where conventional visible-light imaging is not sufficient.
Infrared & Specialized Imaging
Infrared and other specialized imaging technologies for applications requiring information beyond the visible spectrum.
Integrated Inspection Systems
Online Solutions can support the complete imaging chain—from camera and optics to illumination, image acquisition, processing and system integration—depending on the application requirement.

AUTOMATION & INSPECTION
Automated Brake Assembly Inspection
A 5 MP machine vision system with fixed lens, ring lighting, PLC integration and controlled object rotation inspects both sides for 40+ defect conditions. Using multiple ROIs and specialized algorithms, it displays detailed defect lists and supports image-based diagnostics. Reported accuracy exceeded 95%, reducing inspection time from over 10 minutes to under 2 minutes. Read More
Automated Steel Surface Inspection
Line-scan and area-scan machine vision systems, integrated with 3D laser profiler sensors, enable automated steel surface inspection for detecting and measuring defects such as pits, holes, scratches and corrosion. Laser triangulation captures surface profiles, while synchronized movement supports 3D surface reconstruction. These solutions enable inspection of wide steel surfaces, edges and complex geometries, supporting dimensional measurement and industrial quality control. Read More
Industrial Benefits:
Enables consistent, high-speed inspection with reduced dependence on manual visual checks. Early defect identification supports improved product quality, reduced material waste and more reliable manufacturing processes.
