Vision King – Long Steel

Technology Description

The main objective is to identify defects and imperfections on the surface and edge of the steel, such as:

Scratches
and Cracks

Ruptures and
Mechanical Marks

Oil and
Flux Residue

Rolling
Defects

Scale and
Oxidation

Computer vision applied to the surface inspection of long steel products has become an essential solution for ensuring quality in hot or cold long steel manufacturing processes, including rails, beams, bars, and even wires. Vision King uses cameras and image processing algorithms to detect defects, irregularities, and specific surface characteristics on the steel surface that are difficult to identify with the naked eye.

Advantages

  • Safety and Real-Time Capability:

    Computer vision technology can operate in environments too hazardous for people, even at high temperatures.

  • Precision and Consistency:

    Computer vision technology is more precise and consistent than manual inspection, reducing human error and increasing efficiency.

  • High Speed:

    Real-time analysis allows for immediate defect detection, perfect for high-speed lines such as those for long steel products.

  • Increased Quality:

    The system’s comprehensive and immediate analysis of production allows for the detection of issues stemming from machinery, dies, or even mechanized handling. This prevents defects from propagating throughout the batch and enables proactive equipment adjustments.

  • Analysis and Reporting:

    Computer vision systems can collect data over time, allowing for the identification of trends and root causes of defects, in addition to optimizing processes.

  • Cost Reduction:

    The technology reduces the amount of scrap generated across all phases of the production process, from hot to cold. Special attention is given to energy efficiency by preventing foreign materials from mixing with inputs to be melted.
