100% inspection of your products is much easier to implement than you might expect.
Inline inspection at full speed
100% inspection of your products is much easier to implement than you might expect. Some benefits are obvious; such as product quality assurance, less waste, better accuracy, increased efficiency, and greater profit. But, consider the advantages of real-time data streaming from an automated vision inspection system into your production information systems.
What if that information was shown live on shop floor displays with real-time charts, generating visual alarms, and sending automated notifications to prevent out of control processes before any dollars are lost?

Companies in food and beverage, packaging, automotive, and other high-volume manufacturing applications are finding ever-increasing use for vision systems to automate the monitoring of product quality. Their customers crave the conformance benefits that vision systems provide, while quality practitioners can harness a new source of data to drive additional insights into product quality and process performance that fuel improvements. Sightline Process Control and DataNet Quality Systems have successfully integrated Sightline’s vision systems with DataNet’s Statistical Process Control software, creating a combined solution that elevates manufacturing quality levels and drives reduced production cost.
