AI-based quality control
Elitfönster + Gimic

The Challenge
In Elitfönster's production, window frames need to be inspected for issues such as knots, marks, and scratches. The defects must be identified and addressed directly on the production line, for example, through filling.
To streamline the process, Elitfönster needed a solution that could both perform a complete quality control at high production speeds and provide clear information on where on the product an action is required.
The Solution
Gimic has developed a solution specifically for Elitfönster's production flow. Four cameras inspect the different sides of the product simultaneously as the parts pass on a conveyor belt at high speed.
The AI models identify relevant defects, and the result is presented in a custom-built visualization with 3D views showing where on the product the defect is located.
This makes the information immediately usable in the next step. Instead of searching for the area that needs attention, the operator can more quickly locate, for example, a knot or scratch and perform a more precise filling.
The Customer's Experience
"For us, it's about keeping quality control in step with the rest of production. With Gimic, we can identify and locate defects automatically. This allows us to move faster from quality control to corrective action, creating a more efficient flow in production."
– X Xsson, Elitfönster
Results
100% quality control
All relevant sides of the product are inspected, even at high production speeds.
Faster actions
Defects are located immediately, which reduces the time to find and fix, for example, knots, marks and scratches.
Higher precision
The 3D visualization shows where the defect is located and provides better conditions for precise filling.
Complete follow-up
Elitfönster automatically receives information about identified defects and a better basis for monitoring quality over time.

Next step towards a fully automated production
For Elitfönster, the solution means more than automated quality control. It creates a link between detecting a quality problem and actually fixing it.
When quality control can keep pace with the rest of the factory, another manual obstacle in the production flow disappears and Elitfönster takes another step towards a fully automated production.
