Efficient quality control with thermal imaging technology.
Automation with thermal imaging technology has proven to be a reliable solution for quality control in various industries. Whether in industrial safety areas such as automotive, packaging, food processing or in the manufacture of electronic components. Thermal imaging cameras make it possible to detect defects early and without contact, resulting in lower costs and higher customer satisfaction.
Reliable solution for challenges in various industries.
Efficient inspection in the automotive industry with thermal imaging technology.
New vehicles are subjected to a series of individual and automatic quality checks. In the automotive industry, thermal imaging technology is a reliable solution for the quality control of hard-to-reach components such as rear window heaters, seat heaters, exhaust flaps and air conditioning outlets. Functionality is checked with a thermal image on a screen in front of the vehicle. This allows the inspector to determine whether the part on the vehicle is working as intended based on changes in the thermal profile.
Applications in practice:
- Checking the function of exhaust flaps at BMW
- Contactless testing of rear window heaters and seat heaters at Audi
- Testing the electric motors of electric vehicles at Tesla
- Monitoring the brakes during a vehicle test at Mercedes-Benz
- Inspection of the cooling systems of hybrid and electric vehicles at Toyota

Improved quality control through thermal imaging technology in the packaging industry.
In the packaging industry, thermal imaging technology is an effective solution for quality control of sealed packaging, adhesives and coatings. Thermal imaging cameras can be installed to check predefined areas on the cardboard flaps to see whether hot melt has been applied as intended, in what quantity and at what temperature.
Applications in practice:
- Weld seam quality of plastic films
- Coating quality of beverage cartons
- Protective coating on food packaging
- Sealing quality of food packaging
- Adhesive distribution on cardboard packaging

Reliable quality control using thermal imaging technology in the electronics industry.
Reliable quality control is essential for electronic components in order to meet customer expectations. Many components are small and difficult to inspect. Thermal imaging technology offers a non-contact, reliable and effective means of quality control for printed circuit boards, transistors, diodes and other components. One example is the use of thermal imaging cameras to check the temperature of electronic components in smartphone production.
Applications in practice:
- Temperature of transistors on printed circuit boards
- Functionality of diodes in smartphone production
- Thermal management systems in the aviation industry
- Performance of solar modules in the solar industry
- Quality of battery cells in the electric vehicle industry

Careful inspection using thermal imaging cameras for food processing companies.
Food quality is a top priority in food processing. Thermal imaging technology is a reliable solution for ensuring the quality of processed food. The cameras function as intelligent and non-contact sensors for in-depth inspections and measure the temperature of machines, chilled products and cooked food at the end of the processing process and in storage.
Applications in practice:
- Temperature of ready meals during the cooling process
- Checking the label quality on glass containers
- Temperature of frozen products during storage
- Closure quality of containers with screw caps
- Temperature of dairy products during the pasteurization process
