The challenge
SICIS, a renowned manufacturer of artistic glass mosaics and slabs, chose PIQAPART to raise the standards of quality and precision in the inspection of its products. It was essential to detect even the smallest printing defects and to closely monitor the production process to guarantee the highest level of artistic quality.
The solution
Working closely with the company, the PIQAPART team of experts designed a bespoke solution. We installed state-of-the-art line scan cameras to capture high-resolution images of the printed glass slabs in real time. PIQAPART was configured to carry out continuous inspection and to detect printing defects, colour variations, and other quality issues.
The application
Implementing this solution led to a fundamental change in the production processes. The line scan cameras continuously collect data on the progress of all printing operations. The PIQAPART system was designed not only to detect the presence of defects, but also to classify them according to their severity. All results are recorded together with timestamps and error categories.
The results
Thanks to this solution, SICIS achieved an unprecedented level of quality control. Operators can monitor the progress of all print jobs in real time and receive instant notifications in the event of issues. PIQAPART stores a high-resolution copy of each image along with a detailed record of inspections and results. In addition, the system generates a unique code for each printed slab, which is then applied in barcode format. This code enables full traceability of the slabs through to the end customer.
The conclusion
This solution enabled the company to reach new levels of manufacturing excellence. Thanks to PIQAPART’s advanced quality control, costs associated with production defects have been reduced, and artistic glass slabs reach customers in perfect condition.
