Timber quality control
The timber and furniture industry is a rapidly growing sector both in Poland and worldwide. The products it manufactures are essential in everyday life, which means there is fierce competition in the market and high quality standards. In this type of product, precision of workmanship and aesthetic appeal are crucial, whilst ensuring the efficient use of raw materials. The use of modern technical solutions, such as vision systems, can significantly improve production efficiency and support the work of employees in the timber industry. They can be used at almost every stage of the production process – from accurately checking the positioning of holes in boards and optimising timber cutting to verifying the correct assembly of furniture.

Space technology transfer to industry
Scanway is one of the few companies in the world operating in two areas: space and industry (for more on our space business, visit: scanway.space). Despite the clear business division between space and industry sectors inside the organization there is a free flow of technology and know-how. The same engineers who build telescopes for nano and micro satellites work on industrial vision systems. Solutions developed for the space industry are used in the wider industry. On the surface, such adaptation may seem very complicated and time-consuming. However, in Scanway’s case, it is extremely simple, as we have already developed certain technologies.

Frequently asked questions about machine vision systems
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about machine vision systems, automated quality inspection, and the technologies that support modern manufacturing.
A vision system analyzes every product as it moves through the production line and automatically verifies whether it meets predefined quality requirements.
The system captures images using industrial cameras, while dedicated lighting highlights the product’s key features. The images are then processed by Scanway’s proprietary machine vision algorithms, which can detect defects such as scratches, contamination, missing components, or color deviations. The entire inspection process is contactless and performed in real time.
