AI Visual Inspection for Surface Defect Detection and Quality Control in Metal Processing 
  • Ensure Part Accuracy
  • Detect Defects in Real Time
  • Reduce Rework with AI Visual Inspection
Warehouse scanning

Scanflow’s AI visual inspection system enables steel and metal manufacturers to identify surface defects, validate shape conformity, and monitor process quality across rolling mills, cutting lines, and final inspection — with real-time accuracy and traceable records.

Why the Steel & Metal Industry Needs AI Visual Inspection 

Steel and metal products must meet precise visual and structural standards, often under high-speed, high-heat conditions. Manual inspection at this scale leads to missed defects, inconsistent evaluations, and increased downstream rework. Visual inspection needs to scale with throughput without compromising quality standards.

Automating visual quality checks reduces subjectivity and improves classification accuracy

What Scanflow Enables for Metal and Steel Production
01
Surface Anomaly Detection
  • Scanflow detects surface-level flaws such as dents, cracks, corrosion marks, and scratches on sheets, coils, slabs, or fabricated parts as they move through the line or stop at key checkpoints. 
02
Dimensional and Structural Conformity Validation 
  • The system validates edge straightness, hole alignment, weld continuity, and geometric profiles based on visual reference supporting early rejection of non-conforming units. 
03
Batch-Level Inspection with Traceability
  • Every scan is recorded with image evidence and inspection outcomes, helping quality teams build traceable records for compliance, internal reporting, or customer assurance.
