Your expectations

Challenged by the necessary upscaling of businesses and accelerating innovation and the need to upmarket, you are seeking to transform your business in order to strengthen your operational excellence.

To maximize your performance in terms of productivity and quality, while reducing your costs, Cetim's In-Line Real time Quality Control offer responds to several major challenges: 

  • Ensure product conformity and increase customer satisfaction
  • Reduce scraps and associated costs
  • Ensure reliable production quality
  • Guarantee the repeatability of your controls
  • Ensure the product traceability
  • Deal with lack of qualified and skilled manpower
  • Increase production rate and avoid bottlenecks
  • Reduce your environmental footprint

In-Line Real time Quality Control is undoubtedly a strategic tool in this approach, enabling several important production features to be monitored and controlled, such as:

  • Presence or absence of a component
  • Appearance (defects, colours, etc.)
  • Metrology, dimensions and geometry
  • Functional defects (tightening, sealing, force, torque, etc.)
  • Chemical composition
  • Material health, treatments, coatings
  • Residual stresses
  • Defects characterisation (surface and volume)
  • Cleanliness, including particulate cleanliness

Our solutions

As a technological accelerator and innovation key player, we focus our skills on operational excellence in production.
