AI visual inspection for coil coatings

AI quality control to catch coil coating defects.

Coating defects drive scrap and lost production time

Streaks, scratches, and coating inconsistencies often appear mid-run on coil coating lines—long before they’re noticed by manual inspection. By the time defects are caught, thousands of feet of coated steel may already be misproduced. Inconsistent color or gloss not only results in scrap and rework, but also damages customer confidence. Without linking defect occurrences to process parameters, teams are left guessing what caused the issue, losing valuable production time with every reset.

Continuous quality control for coil coating lines

Shelfmark AI visual inspection system for coil coatings detects streaks, color variations, and coating defects as they occur—helping manufacturers stop waste before it builds. The system integrates inline with coil coating lines, monitoring surface quality in real time across the full width of the material. Each detected defect is logged and time-stamped, creating a verifiable record of every coil produced. Now manufacturers can see when and where a defect occurred, validate a customer complaint, and resolve any dispute quickly and confidently. Customers avoid costly buybacks for issues that didn’t originate in their process.
