Presentation

Pixxel, VMI’s integrated QA platform

QA systems have become extremely important in recent years. They not only ensure accurate process control, but also enable machines to produce autonomously and without an operator. And they produce valuable data. To be able to rely on this measurement data, much more is needed than just a camera. Calibration and validation must also be integrated in the system. And all this without major impact on the output of the machine.
