Conventional camera systems for continuous products are expensive and often unreliable.

High false rejection rates & slippage

Conventional image processing software cannot handle typical production deviations. Slightly deviating or reflective parts lead to high rates of Pseudo scrap and slippage, which causes significant additional costs.

Investments in Inspection Systems Are Costly and Risky

Many companies have costly, underperforming automated visual inspection systems that fail to deliver the promised accuracy, leading to high false reject rates and operational inefficiencies.

Lack of real-time analytics

<p dir="auto">Traditional inspection systems focus on automating visual inspections – without providing valuable insights into the production process. Optimization potential remains untapped, and sources of errors are identified too late.</p>

Maddox AI offers a compact, scalable solution for inspecting continuous products

Maddox AI offers a compact, scalable solution for inspecting continuous products

By combining reliable defect visualization with AI-based software that detects even difficult and extremely small defect patterns on complex, reflective surfaces, quality control of extrusion products and other continuous materials can be reliably automated.

Compact, high-performance hardware

With the use of multiple cameras, Maddox Endless enables seamless quality control at high line speeds. All defects can be reliably visualized in real time.

  • 360° inspection

  • Diameter from 1 to 100 mm

  • Up to 5 meters per second

"The hardware from Maddox AI is extremely robust. We were particularly impressed by its ability to reliably distinguish dust particles and reflections from real defects."

Precise results – even with high production variability

Easily create flexible and high-performance AI models to automate your quality inspection.

  • Collaboratively annotate data

  • Ensure data quality

  • Independently train and test models

  • Deploy models and monitor production

"We have tested several inspection systems in the past, but only Maddox AI was able to handle the high OK and NOK variability of our hoses."

Monitor processes in real time

The Maddox AI Dashboard provides you with real-time insights into all relevant KPIs of your production quality. This allows you to analyze entire rolls, coils, or individual sections over time. Get automatically notified as soon as the scrap rate reaches critical values – for an immediate response and optimized processes.

"By having the ability to analyze our production quality both per meter and per coil, we generate new quality insights from which we have been able to derive process improvement projects. This increases quality and reduces scrap costs."

Quickly find causes of rejects

If problems occur, it is important to understand the cause. Maddox AI provides you with advanced tools for root cause analysis so that structural defects in continuous products can be identified and eliminated at an early stage.

Retrofit

Thanks to Maddox AI, a previously unstable inspection system was replaced with an AI-based solution that ensures reliable and continuous inspection of hoses after the extrusion process. By significantly reducing pseudo-scrap, manual effort, and recall actions, the cost efficiency of quality control was greatly improved.
