ELE Visual Metering System: Ensuring Precision and Traceability for Every Meter
CCD Machine Vision + Smart Metering + AI Defect Detection: A single system that solves the three core pain points of industrial roll material production lines in one go! In the roll-based production industries—such as textiles, cables, films, and metal strips—inaccurate length measurement, missed defect detection, and lack of quality traceability have long been the three major challenges plaguing enterprises. Traditional contact-based length measurement and manual visual inspection methods are no longer capable of meeting the industry’s demands for modern precision production, high-standard quality control, and standardized traceability.
ELE specializes in the field of industrial vision inspection and has independently developed an intelligent vision-based meter-counting system. Breaking through the limitations of traditional equipment, this system leverages machine vision and AI algorithms to achieve non-contact, high-precision meter counting, comprehensive defect detection, and full data traceability via the cloud. It helps factories reduce costs, improve efficiency, enhance quality, and mitigate risks.
01.Say goodbye to the shortcomings of traditional methods and redefine high-precision meter counting
The critical shortcomings of traditional rice-measuring equipment
Most traditional rice-measuring devices on the market rely on encoders and contact-based measurement using contact wheels. After prolonged operation, these devices are highly prone to issues such as roller slippage, component wear, and mechanical loosening, leading to the continuous accumulation of measurement errors. This not only results in raw material waste and inaccurate shipment measurements but also triggers disputes with customers over account reconciliation and claims for returns, causing hidden financial losses and damage to the company’s reputation.
Key Advantages of the ELE Visual Metering System
Unlike traditional contact-based measurement solutions, the ELE Visual Metering System utilizes a CCD line-scan industrial camera combined with high-precision image analysis algorithms. Without coming into contact with the material surface, it captures and tracks surface textures and feature points in real time to achieve dynamic, precise length measurement.
The system operates entirely without contact, causing zero wear and preventing slippage. Measurement accuracy is consistently maintained within ±0.1%, completely resolving the common issue of increasing measurement errors in traditional equipment over time, ensuring that every meter of material length is measured with precision and reliability.
02.One machine, multiple uses! A single system addresses the three key needs of your production line
By eliminating redundant configurations where a single device performs a single function, the ELE Visual Metering System integrates multiple functions into one, combining precise length measurement, AI-powered full-inspection for defects, and cloud-based data traceability to comprehensively replace traditional, outdated production methods.
Comparison Criteria | Traditional production methods | ELE Visual Intelligence Solutions |
Length in meters | Encoder-based contact measurement is prone to slippage and wear, and measurement errors increase year by year. | Purely optical, non-contact measurement; no wear over the lifetime of the device; consistent accuracy |
Defect Detection | Manual visual inspections are inefficient, prone to fatigue-induced errors, and have an extremely high rate of missed defects. | 100% full-line CCD inspection with AI-powered defect recognition and classification |
Quality Traceability | No data is retained, leaving no evidence for quality issues, and disputes over after-sales service are common. | Individual inspection reports for each roll, data stored in the cloud, and full traceability throughout the process |
03.Key Application Scenarios: The Top Choice for Improving Quality and Efficiency in the Textile Industry
Textiles represent the core segment of roll-based material processing and are the industry with the strongest demand for automated quality inspection and precise length measurement, as well as the fastest return on investment.
Currently, China’s annual nonwoven fabric production reaches 8 million tons, with over 4,000 production lines in operation. However, the penetration rate of automated inspection in the industry is only 15%–20%, and more than 90% of textile production lines still rely on manual visual inspection. This results in high labor costs, inconsistent quality control, and persistently high product defect rates.
1.Nonwoven Fabric Production Line
The system is installed at the front end of the production line’s winding station, providing a one-stop solution for end-to-end intelligent control:
◦ Precise Meter Counting: Millimeter-level accuracy eliminates issues such as slippage, lost material, and measurement errors, enabling precise calculation of raw material waste and output data;
◦ Comprehensive defect detection: Automatically identifies various defects such as holes, oil stains, crystal spots, lumps, wrinkles, and uneven thickness, and uses AI to classify and statistically analyze defects;
◦ Intelligent warning marking: Immediately triggers automatic inkjet marking and audible/visual alarms upon detecting defects, enabling subsequent processes to precisely remove defective materials;
◦ End-to-End Data Retention: Automatically generates a dedicated quality inspection report for each roll of material, enabling production data visualization.
Business Value: Completely transforms the traditional model where manual inspection could only achieve a 5% sampling rate, enabling 100% full inspection coverage. The product missed-inspection rate is reduced to near zero, and customer quality complaints and return disputes are directly reduced by 80%.
2.Textile Printing and Dyeing / Finished Fabrics
Supports the entire production process, from greige fabric production and printing to final product inspection: accurately measures greige fabric length to optimize material-to-output ratios; uses visual tracking to precisely follow patterns, ensuring repeat accuracy in printing; and employs AI to intelligently detect defects in finished products, such as color variations, skipped yarns, broken warps, and stains.
3.Synthetic Fiber/Yarn Industry
Real-time monitoring of the density of the spinning line, with dynamic feedback on spinning uniformity; precise detection of broken filaments and automatic alerts during high-speed production; accurate measurement of bobbin winding length to ensure standardized production of finished products.
04.Suitable for the entire industry, covering a wide range of roll material production scenarios
Beyond the textile industry, the ELE Visual Metering and Inspection System can be flexibly adapted to various production lines for both flexible and rigid roll materials, offering exceptional versatility:
◦ Cable/Optical Fiber Industry: Precise metering + automatic detection of surface defects such as scratches, bulges, and insulation damage;
◦ Plastic film industry: Compatible with various films such as BOPP and PE, providing precise length measurement and detection of defects like crystal spots, fish eyes, and holes;
◦ Metal strip industry: High-precision length measurement for metal coils such as steel and copper strips, plus detection of surface scratches, indentations, and defects;
◦ Paper Industry: Precise length measurement of base paper + identification of holes, impurities, and tears;
◦ Rubber and Tire Industry: Precise length measurement of cord fabric + detection of joint defects.
