Intelligent detection and categorization of surface defects including knots, splits, cracks, and density variations. Our system provides detailed defect mapping with precise location data for automated sorting and grading decisions.

Remote Monitoring & Analytics

Industry 4.0-ready connectivity enabling remote access to production data, trend analysis, and predictive maintenance alerts. Monitor all inspection systems from your mobile device with our dedicated IoT application.

Clean & Contactless

Precision Wood Inspection Technology That Adapts to Your Production

Our wood surface inspection systems utilize state-of-the-art M-Ray millimeter wave technology to deliver accurate, non-destructive quality control without slowing your production line. Unlike traditional methods, our contactless sensors operate in harsh manufacturing environments, penetrating surface dust and maintaining consistent performance regardless of wood color or finish. With multi-sensor configurations providing complete cross-machine coverage, you'll detect dimensional deviations corresponding to individual press sections, enabling targeted process adjustments that reduce waste and improve yield.
