The challenge
Manifattura Tubi Gomma chose PIQAPART to address the critical task of accurately and reliably monitoring both longitudinal and radial variations of hoses during pressure testing and operational trials. It was essential to ensure that the hoses met stringent quality and safety standards, while also modernising the inspection process.
The solution
The company turned to PIQAPART to develop a highly sophisticated and precise inspection solution, while taking a significant step toward the digital transformation of its production process.
The application
With the support of PIQAPART’s, the hose manufacturer introduced an optical system based on an advanced area scan camera to accurately detect variations in rubber hoses during pressure testing. This implementation completely eliminated the need for manual measurements, significantly improving operator safety as staff no longer need to come into contact with hoses under pressure.
The results
The solution led to the full digitalisation of the inspection process, removing the need for paper documentation and making data immediately available in digital format. This streamlined management and enabled real-time monitoring of pressure tests. In addition, the system introduced objectivity into the inspection process, ensuring consistent and reliable results.
The conclusion
Thanks to this solution, the rubber hose manufacturer achieved unprecedented levels of precision and reliability in pressure and performance testing. The digital transformation enhanced overall production efficiency while ensuring maximum safety for operators.
