Shading technology profiles colour recognition

Shading technology profiles colour recognition at HunterDouglas

Many years' experience in the machine vision field allows us to implement product colour recognition projects. Unlike the human eye, machine vision can handle even the most similar colour shades.

Crucial to success is choosing and connecting the right components of industrial lenses and illumination Our laboratories have the most modern equipment and therefore finding a suitable combination of these components is a piece of cake for us.

It was no different at HunterDouglas. The turnkey machine BlindProfile opti control system was deployed to verify the correctness of the colour of produced profiles of shading technology against the requirements in the order.

The customer's production portfolio included a combination of 150 matt and glossy colours, 3 differently shaped types and 2 types of material. We managed the project successfully and ensured the automation of unambiguous identification of the profile based on the control machine.
