The challenge
What needed solving
Hot, reflective, fast-moving strip makes surface inspection extremely difficult by eye — defects escape at speed and are only discovered downstream.
The solution
How Qualitas solved it
Engineered lighting plus deep-learning defect classification detected and categorized surface defects continuously, logging defect maps per coil for downstream routing decisions.
The full case study covers detailed system architecture, hardware configuration, algorithm pipeline, integration approach, validation data, and a step-by-step deployment timeline with ROI calculations from live production environments.
