An impulse for a new development emerged from a networking event last year: Over several months, following extensive hardware research, ID Engineering developed a precise solution to detect even the smallest surface defects in vehicle production.

ID Engineering has developed a new solution to meet the high quality requirements in vehicle production. What initially sounds simple—detecting tiny pimples and dents on body parts—becomes a real challenge in practice. Interfering contours, color differences, or even dust and dirt significantly hinder detection. After an extensive search for a solution, it became clear: stereophotometry provides the required precision.

The next phase has already begun. ID Engineering is further developing the system so that the light simulation model can also be used in full motion on a conveyor belt. This paves the way for even more precise and efficient quality inspection in vehicle production. In addition, the solution is modular in design and can be flexibly transferred, from a technological standpoint, to other industrial use cases and production environments.
