ValueSpection: Higher value creation with smart measurement technology

Adding value

ValueSpection: better products

Modern factories make it possible. ValueSpection is a new approach to fully automated production that consistently incorporates quality assurance. With ValueSpection, measurement technology becomes an integrated part of the production process.

 

ValueSpection: better control

ValueSpection turns production control into a learning control loop. State-of-the-art measurement systems by Fraunhofer IPM can independently detect, decide, and improve. They prevent scrap before it occurs. This saves time, energy, and resources while increasing output and quality.

 

ValueSpection: better understanding

ValueSpection combines measurement technology, automation, and AI to create a unique production system that can understand and optimize processes. Every decision is based on a reliable connection to the physical world—precise, real-time measurement data.

Knowledge transfer

From inspection to improvement

ValueSpection turns measurement technology into a driver of productivity for a competitive, circular economy.

 

Less scrap:

Deviations are detected early, and processes can be adjusted promptly.

Efficient use of resources:

Materials, energy, and machine time are used more strategically.

Circular economy:

Component condition and identity remain traceable throughout its lifecycle.

Autonomous production processes:

In-line data provides the foundation for self-regulating production systems.

More profitable production:

Measurement data shows where value is lost and new value is created.

Increased productivity

Act quickly for more efficiency

Complete inspection: Comprehensive, contactless, fast, and in-line.

Intelligent analysis: Turning measurement data into practical information about quality and processes.

Direct feedback: Insights reach production processes, robotics, and AI without any detours.

Long-term improvements: Less scrap, more efficient use of resources, predictable maintenance, and reliable traceability.

We develop innovative optical measurement systems for direct use in production that are fast, precise, robust, and automated.

Talk to us about pilot applications, partnerships, and the new role of automated, fully integrated, intelligent measurement technology in production and the circular economy. Together, we can turn technological possibilities into added value—that's ValueSpection.

 

 

In the past, components had to be labeled or marked in some way.

Today, we can identify components marker-free based on their unique surface structures.

Focus topics

 

Data evaluation

Part of high-performance measurement technology is an equally efficient data evaluation. We support you in developing strategies for handling multiple data streams − and generate maximum benefit from your measurement data.

 

 

Systems expertise

We develop optical measurement and inspection systems for reliable use in production. In this, we combine our comprehensive know-how in optical technology with an eye for the specific conditions on site. Our numerous references from very different industries speak for our success.

 

Collaborating robotic systems

To perfect the interaction between state-of-the-art sensor technology and handling, Fraunhofer IPM is developing innovative approaches and products. This includes the establishment of modern, standardized interfaces, such as OPC-UA.

 

Industry 4.0

Connecting the real and the virtual worlds creates new opportunities while leading to completely new demands on modern production. We meet these increased demands with the advantages offered by optical measurement technology. Our new measurement and test procedures enable flexible, inline-capable, 100 percent-reliable production control.

 

App development

There are many options for either performing optical measurement and test procedures on a smartphone, or for combining both.

Fraunhofer IPM develops applications for mobile end devices on request.
