Examina vision systems for quality control

Automatic vision systems for product inspection, classification, and quality control

EXAMINA is the automatic TecnoFerrari system designed for the inspection, classification, and quality-based selection of finished and semi-finished products through advanced machine vision technologies.

The solution makes it possible to automate quality control directly on the line, ensuring consistency of evaluation, objectivity of classification, and operational continuity even in high-intensity production environments.

Thanks to the use of high-resolution vision systems and proprietary quality analysis software, EXAMINA can detect surface, color, dimensional, and structural defects, ensuring high quality standards and full traceability of the inspection process.

The system is mainly used in the ceramic industry, where it represents a strategic tool for automating selection and quality control activities, reducing dependence on manual checks and increasing process reliability.

Automatic systems for in-line quality control

EXAMINA can be installed both downstream of the main production processes for finished product inspection and in the stages before firing for semi-finished product control and production process monitoring.

Automating quality control eliminates the variability typical of manual checks, ensuring constant and repeatable evaluation criteria across the entire production.

Thanks to integration with conveying lines and automatic sorting systems, the system operates continuously without slowing down the production process, helping to increase the plant’s overall productivity.

The modular structure and high degree of customization also allow integration both on TecnoFerrari systems and on existing lines from other suppliers.

Available configurations
Examina G

System designed for semi-finished product inspection and production process monitoring before the firing stage.

It allows the automatic detection of defects such as:

  • chips on edges and corners
  • lumps caused by glaze or dust buildup
  • glaze drops
  • surface anomalies of the product

The solution makes it possible to intercept defects in the early stages of the process, reducing waste and rework.

Examina XMS

"All In One" system for automatic finished product inspection that integrates quality control and dimensional and flatness measurements of the tile into a single solution.

The technology enables:

  • detection of surface, color, and structural defects
  • high-precision dimensional measurements
  • flatness control
  • reconstruction and display of the tile’s 3D mapping

The system uses self-learning procedures that allow the operator to train the machine using only compliant products. Once the learning phase is complete, EXAMINA XMS is able to automatically identify anomalies compared to the acquired quality standards.
