Automated Vision Inspection: Elevating Quality and Efficiency at NMS
Driving Innovation in Quality Control
In today’s highly competitive manufacturing landscape, maintaining exceptional quality standards while optimizing efficiency is more crucial than ever. At Nissha Metallizing Solutions (NMS), innovation drives everything we do — and our investment in automated vision inspection systems marks a major step forward in our commitment to excellence.
Thanks to cutting-edge imaging and machine learning technology, we can now detect and classify defects in real time. This not only ensures superior product consistency but also helps us significantly reduce waste, streamline production workflows, and deliver even greater value to our customers.
The Power of Automated Vision Inspection
Precision and consistency are fundamental in manufacturing. They not only uphold a company’s brand reputation but also drive more sustainable and efficient operations. At NMS, automated vision inspection has enabled a reduction of up to 30% in visual defects, contributing to significant cost savings and a more responsible use of resources.
Detecting issues early allows us to prevent non-conforming products from ever reaching our customers. This strengthens customer satisfaction, lowers claim rates, and reinforces the trust placed in our products.
Moreover, by minimizing production waste and optimizing resource use, our inspection systems play a crucial role in advancing our sustainability goals, helping us reduce our environmental footprint while delivering even greater value to our stakeholders.
Our solution stands apart because it is specifically designed for the complex surfaces of metallized paper — unlike traditional print inspection systems that focus on graphic elements. With machine learning-based image recognition, our technology continuously improves its own accuracy, dynamically adapting to production challenges and ensuring ever-higher quality standards.
How the System Works
At NMS, our automated vision inspection system meticulously monitors two critical phases of the production process: pre-metallization and post-metallization. By analyzing these two stages, we can detect defects early and maintain strict control over the final product quality.
Our solution stands apart because it is specifically designed for the complex surfaces of metallized paper — unlike traditional print inspection systems that focus on graphic elements. With machine learning-based image recognition, our technology continuously improves its own accuracy, dynamically adapting to production challenges and ensuring ever-higher quality standards.
Operating at remarkable speeds — processing material at up to 750 meters per minute — the system can detect defects as small as 100 microns. Leveraging machine learning-based analysis, it classifies imperfections based on their size, shape, and frequency, allowing operators to receive real-time feedback and adjust production parameters consequently. This immediate responsiveness not only improves product quality but also drives operational efficiency, making our processes smarter and more adaptive.
Expanding a Global Standard
Our vision is to integrate automated vision inspection technology across all our production sites worldwide, creating a unified and optimized quality control approach. The system is already operational at our Belgium facility and will be implemented at our Italian site by the end of 2025. Further expansions are planned to ensure global consistency in quality assurance, aligning with our broader strategic goals.
Strengthening Customer Confidence
For our customers and stakeholders, this advancement means greater reliability, consistency, and transparency. Every roll of metallized paper that leaves our facilities undergoes rigorous inspection, ensuring it meets the highest standards before reaching our clients. By reinforcing our quality control processes with intelligent automation, we are not only safeguarding our reputation but also deepening the trust that our customers place in us. In practice, this means faster turnaround times, fewer production delays, and reduced risk of costly recalls — all critical factors that help our clients maintain their own brand reputations and achieve greater operational efficiency. By delivering consistent, high-quality materials, we help our customers streamline their supply chains and strengthen their competitive edge in the market.
Shaping the Future of Packaging
At NMS, innovation isn’t a project — it’s part of our DNA. The integration of automated vision inspection is just one way we are setting new benchmarks in the packaging and labeling industry. By embracing smart technologies, we are reducing waste, improving operational efficiency, and ensuring that every product we deliver stands as a testament to our commitment to excellence.
As quality, automation, and sustainability become increasingly critical in manufacturing, we are committed to delivering smarter, greener, and more reliable packaging solutions for our customers worldwide.
