Omniscope

Omniscope is a powerful solution designed for analyzing plastic and foam materials, providing real-time insights into their internal structure. Both the Omniscope Platform and Omniscope Lab use advanced vision systems to capture high-resolution images of material cross-sections, allowing for precise measurement of cell sizes, distribution, and other key performance indicators.

Whether used in production environments or research and development, Omniscope enables users to monitor and optimize material quality with accurate, repeatable data, ensuring better control over manufacturing processes and enhanced product performance.

Omniscope In-line Platform

Integrated Real-Time Plastic Production Control and Monitoring

The Omniscope Platform provides a comprehensive KPI measurement solution tailored for in-line plastic and foam production. The Omniscope Platform captures critical data in real time, empowering manufacturers and production teams to optimize processes, improve efficiency, and ensure consistent material quality throughout continuous production.

Omniscope Lab

Analysis tool for R&D purposes

The Omniscope provides a comprehensive KPI measurement solution tailored for in-line plastic production. The Omniscope Platform captures critical data in real time, empowering users to make informed decisions to optimize production processes efficiently.

A quality control process revolution

A leading manufacturer of core material came to Omniscope with the ambition to perform in-line quality control. With the Omniscope in-line System solution in place, the manufacturer moved from measuring 1 sample out of 10 000, to measuring all produced PET boards.

They also got access to the quality data needed to optimize their process control, reduce their costs and wastes, and improve the quality of their final product.

"It would be an understatement to say that Omniscope have delivered value for us, they have revolutionized our whole quality control process. "
