senswork and Photoneo to Showcase Next-Gen Robot-Based 3D Inspection at Automate

senswork Inc. will exhibit at the Automate show in Detroit (May 12-15) alongside Photoneo, now part of Zebra Technologies. They will showcase a state-of-the-art robot-assisted 3D inspection and metrology system designed for real-time quality control in manufacturing. The fully automated inspection cell leverages collaborative robotics and advanced 3D vision to detect defects and perform precise 3D measurements directly on the production line.

Live Demonstration: Real-Time 3D Inspection & Metrology

At Booth #641, visitors will experience how senswork’s robot vision system, powered by Photoneo’s 3D sensing technology, enables:

• Real-time defect detection – Identifies imperfections, dents, and deformations with high precision
• GD&T-compliant 3D metrology – Performs accurate inline measurements for tight tolerance manufacturing
• Seamless integration into production – Supports continuous, automated quality control

Quality control directly on the production line

"The combination of state-of-the-art 3D machine vision and collaborative robotics opens up new possibilities in industrial quality inspection," said Roman Rieger, CEO of senswork. "Our technology enables companies to perform 3D measurements directly at the production line and simultaneously detect surface defects." Thanks to their ability to detect defects regardless of texture or material, they offer a particularly robust and reliable solution for automated quality control.

"By combining our 3D Vision with senswork’s expertise in robotics, we are tackling some of the toughest challenges in inspection. This collaboration enables manufacturers to achieve unparalleled accuracy, detect defects in real time, and streamline quality control processes with greater efficiency than ever before," says Frentišek Takáč, Global Strategic Partnerships Manager - Robotic Vision at Photoneo.

Why 3D Over 2D? A New Standard for Quality Inspection

Traditional 2D inspection systems often struggle with variable surface textures and materials. In contrast, senswork’s 3D inspection technology provides:

• Material-independent accuracy – Works on reflective, textured, or multi-colored surfaces
• Consistent defect detection – No reliance on contrast-based image processing
• Reliable pass/fail decisions – Eliminates false positives caused by lighting variations

Live demonstration in Detroit

The Automate in Detroit is the largest automation expo in North America and offers the ideal platform for presenting innovative solutions in factory automation. Visitors can experience senswork's system live and see the advantages of the technology for themselves.
