Replaces the traditional, fully human-driven fabric inspection process with artificial intelligence, improving material efficiency, inspection speed, energy efficiency, sustainability, and operating cost. Installs as a plug-in on existing manual inspection machines. A live map shows the instant X/Y position of detected defects (horizontal, vertical, and spot), and the defect map can be exported as a report or XML data. Includes an in-line color/shade control mode (ShadeBar) using three high-precision spectrophotometers.
