Challenges

The problems we solve

Paving-stone production faces challenges that translate into quality, cost and reaction time every single day.

Height standard
01_

Height standard

You can't measure every paving stone, so you keep a height buffer to stay safely within spec - and pay for excess material on every single piece.

Quality control
02_

Quality control

Defect counts were usually checked about once an hour, and their real impact on quality problems was small.

Reaction time
03_

Reaction time

A problem can run for hours before anyone catches it by hand.

Technology

The technology that makes it possible

Automatic defect identification and height measurement in real time.

Height measurement

A median from thousands of points on every stone

For every paving stone we record several thousand measurement points and derive the height median from them - accurate to 0.5 mm. For each product you can set your own height standard and allowed deviations, so inspection is matched to the specifics of the piece.

Tilt detection

Detects tilt and curvature across the whole product

Measuring height across many points lets us measure the overall curvature of the product, as well as the curvature of production boards - deviations show up on the heatmap before they become a problem.

Defect detection

An AI model that detects holes and inclusions

Defect detection is handled by an AI model trained on hundreds of thousands of production-board scans. It recognizes holes and inclusions - even when they share the same colour and texture as the base material - and marks every defect with a confidence score.
