As a business we have had a significant amount of success developing web inspection systems for the glass markets and have been able in the past to transfer those skills to other industries.

Industrial web inspection & glass sector factory simulation

Founded in 1989 from a small technology company in Manchester UK we have grown into one of the leading machine vision providers for the glass industry. 

Our expertise, knowledge of technology and modularised systems enable us to develop new systems for most web-based applications.

Our business is also affiliated with Siemens and that inhouse capability allows us to simulate most manufacturing processes which enable businesses to de-risk their high capital process decisions before they invest.  

Over the years we have designed, developed and installed a variety of web-based inspection systems.  The common theme throughout is to work with the customer, OEM or integrators to produce a system tailored to the site needs and requirements.  Our expertise in camera technology, innovative approach to system designs and an engaging software team allows us to deliver high-end solutions to the market.

Our experience in the web inspection world allows us to choose the right technology for the application and validate the system in our R&D laboratory to ensure the solution is fit for purpose.  The key to success is working in partnership with the customer and being able to stay flexible and agile to their needs whilst maintaining focus on the end goal. 

Industrial web inspection

Simulation of the glass factory process is key to its success now and in the future.  It enables the customer, OEM and supplier to de-risk their decisions when investing in new lines, factories and equipment, or wanting to increase, expand or consolidate their existing processes. Both float and downstream process such as automotive, laminated & doubled-glazing can benefit from simulating the processes first.  

Whilst our experience has been proven in the float, container & fibre glass sectors, our expertise is not limited to glass, and we can bring knowledge from other industries to the table to help our customers make the correct strategic decisions using simulation.
