Turnkey In-Line Inspection Solutions

Temperature-sensitive processes have unique inspection needs and challenges. Let us show you how to use thermal imaging and AI to inspect every part and product you make.

Plastics

Plastic Weld Inspection

Precision in plastic welding is essential for creating durable and reliable products, especially in industries where safety and performance are non-negotiable. But inspecting the quality of plastic welds in hot plate welding, ultrasonic welding, and vibration welding has been a significant challenge.
Stop relying on wasteful destructive testing get the visibility and data you need to inspect every weld inline with our AI-enabled thermal inspections.

Injection Molding Inspection

Are you producing injection-molded parts and components but only inspecting a fraction of them? To reduce scrap and avoid quality issues, you need an easy-to-manage, integrated and adaptable thermal inspection solution that can inspect every part while it is being made, identify specific defects and help you quickly determine their cause. Our AI-enabled, thermal inspection solution captures images and process data you need to train AI inspection models to detect defects like flash and short-shot and can be scaled and centrally managed across your machines and lines.

Ideal for 

  • In-Mold Inspections
  • Post-Most Inspections

Industries 

  • Automotive
  • Appliances 
  • Medical Device

Defects & Process Issues Detected

  • Flash
  • Short-Shot

Types of Products

  • Automotive Exteriors/Interiors (Class A Surfaces)
  • Appliance Exteriors (Class A&B)

Metals

Steel Weld Inspection

Steel grate welding requires precise control to ensure structural integrity and longevity.  But analyzing the quality of welds can be a challenge. 

Eigen’s thermal inspection solutions are specifically designed to handle the rigors of steel welding applications. Thermal images captured during the welding process are consolidated with process data provide the data needed to create an AI inspection model that can detect improper welds, cracks, and other irregularities by visualizing heat patterns. 

Our real-time inspections allow operators to correct issues on the spot, ensuring that Production and Quality teams have confidence in the safety and durability of their welds while reducing rework and waste. 

Industries 

  • Industrials

Types of Products

  • Wire Mesh
  • Wire Grating

Defects Detected

  • Incomplete Fusion
  • Cracks
  • Burn Through
  • Spatter

Packaging and Adhesives

Cardboard Box Sealing Inspection

Monitoring adhesive application during cardboard box sealing is crucial to avoid box failures and product damage. In most cases, Operators do not have a clear view of the adhesive as it’s being dispensed inside the sealing machines. 

Eigen’s AI-enabled thermal inspection solution gives Operators a view of the distribution of the adhesive and AI inspections detect anomalies such as gaps, excess or temperature variations that can lead to glue failures. 

Integrating AI-enabled thermal inspections into the adhesive application process helps prevent product damage, reduce customer complaints, and maintain a manufacturer’s reputation for quality. 

Ideal for 

  • Cardboard Box Sealing

Industry

  • CPG Packaging

Defects Detected

  • Application Gaps
  • Excess Disbursement
  • Inadequate Glue Temperature

Windshield Assembly Adhesive Inspection

Ensuring precise adhesive application on windshields is a challenge. Most line-scan, bead monitoring solutions can’t consistently detect gaps and variations that lead to post-install problems like leaks. 

Eigen’s thermal inspection solution captures images and data used to train AI inspection models that detect inconsistencies like voids or uneven distribution during the application process. Real-time feedback allows Operators to make adjustments and ensure that the adhesive layer meets safety standards for lasting durability. 

By integrating thermal inspection into windshield adhesive applications, OEMs can ensure vehicle safety and reduce the likelihood of costly repairs and warranty claims. 

Ideal for 

  • Windshield Adhesive 

Industries 

  • Automotive Assembly

Defects Detected

  • Application Voids/Gaps
  • Excess Adhesive
  • Inadequate Temperature

Building Materials

Thermal Drywall/Wallboard Inspection

Numerous “hidden defects” can occur when manufacturing drywall or wallboard – defects that can cause product issues and failures during panel installation.  

Our thermal drywall inspection solution provides manufacturing teams will a view “between the sheets” during the drying process. Thermal images and process data captured are used to train AI inspection models that can detect multiple defects including surface defects, thickness variations, and other quality issues.

Real-time monitoring and automated analysis mean reduced reliance on destructive testing and fewer panels with defects being shipped from the factory.  

Ideal for

  • Drywall
  • Wallboard
  • Plasterboard

Industries 

  • Building/Construction Materials

Defects Detected

  • Voids
  • Cracking
  • Surface Imperfections
  • Delamination
  • Cracks 
  • Moisture-related issues

Extruded Plastic Materials

Plastic extrusion is used to create a variety of plastic products with a consistent cross-sectional profile including composite boards, window/door frames and siding.  Quality testing on these products typically involves wasteful destructive testing.

Our thermal extrusion inspection solution provides manufacturing teams with the ability to “see inside” extruded products as they are being made, Thermal images and process data captured are used to train AI inspection models that can detect multiple defects including surface defects, voids, delamination, warping and other quality issues.

Real-time monitoring and comprehensive quality data allow Quality and Production teams to reduce – even eliminate – destructive testing and have confidence in the structural integrity of every product shipped from the factory.  

Ideal for

  • Drywall
  • Wallboard
  • Plasterboard

Industries 

  • Building/Construction Materials
  • Marine
  • Agriculture
  • Automotive
  • Packaging

Defects Detected
