Conventional camera systems for inline web inspection are costly and lack reliability.

Throughput issues and increased pseudo scrap

Weaving and knitting defects, knots, holes, or contamination can lead to web breaks, scrap, and downtime. Conventional camera systems often fail to adequately distinguish real defects from dust or reflections—resulting in unnecessary pseudo scrap and losses in productivity.

High & risky capital investment in testing systems

Almost every company has expensive stranded assets - fully automated inspection systems that do not perform as promised, causing too much slippage and Pseudo scrap. Especially with changing product types and material widths, the real problems only emerge during series production.

Lack of real-time analytics & traceability

Traditional systems detect defects but provide little to no information about their root causes. As a result, correlations at the coil or roll level remain unclear, release decisions lack transparency, and optimization potential goes untapped.

Conventional camera systems for inline web inspection are costly and lack reliability.

Throughput issues and increased pseudo scrap

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.

Compact, high-performance hardware

By utilizing multiple cameras, Maddox Stream enables seamless, double-sided quality control at high web speeds. All defects can be reliably visualized in real time.

  • 100% web coverage, single- and double-sided

  • Material widths from a few centimeters to several meters

  • Web speeds: up to several hundred meters per minute

"Maddox AI's hardware is extremely powerful. We found the image quality particularly impressive, especially after realizing that it doesn't just produce grayscale images, with which we had poor experiences in the past."

Precise results – even with high production variability

Easily create flexible and powerful AI models to automate your web inspection - even with frequent product and material changes.

  • Collaboratively annotate data

  • Ensure data quality

  • Independently train and test models

  • Deploy models and monitor production

"Maddox is the third and final system we have in operation. Only Maddox manages to reliably distinguish real defects from production variability (reflections, etc.)."

Monitor processes in real time

The Maddox AI dashboard provides you with real-time insights into all relevant KPIs of your production quality. This enables coil-to-coil, roll-to-roll, or batch-to-batch analyses over time. Receive automatic notifications as soon as the scrap rate reaches critical levels – for immediate response and optimized processes.

"Since the Maddox AI system proactively alerts us to defect anomalies and defect clusters via Teams messages, we can react immediately. This allows us to intervene faster and resolve production issues instantly."

Quickly find causes of rejects

When problems occur, it is crucial to understand the root cause. Maddox AI provides you with advanced root cause analysis tools to identify and rectify structural defects in web material at an early stage.

"By being able to analyze entire rolls even in retrospect, we have already been able to identify and eliminate several root causes of errors. Proactive notifications regarding quality issues have also enabled us to significantly reduce our scrap costs."
