How to improve quality control and timber measurement - practical examples

Every non-conforming piece that falls into the hands of a customer is a potential problem. Dealing with complaints or reputational damage is, of course, not pleasant. This is true in all industries, and woodworking is no exception.

Fast and accurate optical wood quality control thanks to artificial intelligence

Each piece of wood is unique, which poses a challenge for optical quality control. This is because there is no universal reference sample for comparison with the products being inspected. However, with the use of artificial intelligence, the many combinations of shades and variations can be handled efficiently. The combination of AI with high-end industrial cameras can detect even the smallest defects that the human eye would otherwise easily miss. And in a fraction of a second.

PCB circuit testing and its automation options

PCB manufacturers must take into account the risk of error or failure. Therefore, they use various PCB quality control methods to detect the problem early. Automation is at the forefront, making the testing process fast, accurate and independent of the presence of employees.

We invite you to INTEMAC Inspiration Day

We would like to invite you to the INTEMAC Inspiration Day, an event full of technologies for the industry of the 21st century, organized by our partner, the INTEMAC Research and Innovation Centre (part of the South Moravian Innovation Centre).

The event will take place on 15 November 2022 from 9:00 to 15:00 at INTEMAC (Blanenská 1288/27, 664 34 Kuřim).

Traceability in Industry 4.0 - get a perfect overview of the production process

The success of manufacturing companies lies in eliminating bottlenecks in the production process. However, the risk of operator or equipment error is omnipresent and cannot be turned a blind eye to. Moreover, the discovery of a problem is often delayed. Without traceability, it is difficult to detect a defective part or a specific cause and there is no space for efficiency gains. This is why traceability is an important part of the Industry 4.0 concept.

Hunter Douglas expands the number of Kinali helpers

It has been several years since Hunter Douglas ordered the first machine for measuring the length of shading profiles from us. As the company and its production grows, so does the need to handle the inspection of more and more metal profiles. That's why the client approached us again at the end of 2021 to design another single-purpose machine, with an even higher capacity than the previous machine.

INTEMAC opened an experimental space for Industry 4.0 in Kuřim and Kinali was there

The INTEMAC Research and Innovation Centre, which is part of the South Moravian Innovation Centre, opened a testbed for Industry 4.0 in Kuřim near Brno on 1 June.

We impressed with our Test-it-off solution at the INDUSTRY DAYS and AMPER trade fairs

Technically oriented trade fairs bring visitors and exhibitors the opportunity to learn about trends across industries, strengthen relationships with partners and gain valuable contacts. For these reasons, KINALI regularly participates in important trade fairs, not only in this country but also abroad. Here are a few observations from the past INDUSTRY DAYS in Budapest and AMPER in Brno, where we were not to be missed.
