Abstract
In manufacturing and maintenance industries, traditional quality control methods are often slow, labour-intensive and error-prone. This is particularly critical in sectors such as food processing and energy infrastructure, where rapid and accurate detection of contaminants or defects is essential to prevent risks to public health and safety. The need for faster, more reliable detection of internal defects is the reason for this project. Advanced imaging techniques that combine detailed three-dimensional imaging with the efficiency and speed of high-throughput systems are required. Research within the project aims to transform industrial quality control by developing a new imaging workflow that integrates a ‘3D mode’ into these systems.
