Advanced visualization system

About the client

One of our client’s customers is a German steel manufacturer actively investing in digital transformation. The company runs its own R&D department focused on developing innovative technologies to improve production processes.

Challenges we faced

The client needed a solution to visualize high-resolution surface scan data from steel slabs. Traditional client applications struggled with performance and usability when dealing with several gigabytes of raw data. 

On top of that, the system had to support real-time analytics, deliver clear reporting and remain easy to deploy across various production environments.

Implemented solution

Working closely with the client’s R&D team, XPG Factor developed a next-generation defect visualization system – stable, scalable, and built to handle heavy data loads. The result outperformed previous tools in both reliability and functionality.

Solution’s key attributes

• Advanced visualization engine
  At the core of the system is a high-performance engine that transforms raw surface scan data into precise raster images. With pixel-level accuracy, quality control teams can quickly and reliably identify surface defects like scratches and dents.
• Real-time reports & analytics
  Immediately after scanning, the system generates visual reports for each slab. These include image-based and data-driven insights, helping operators compare results, identify trends, and take corrective action with minimal delay.
• Seamless integration & flexibility
  The platform integrates smoothly into existing plant systems and supports a range of scanner types and data formats. Its modular architecture also allows for plug-in analytics algorithms and customizable defect classification thresholds.

Methodology & transparency

The project followed an Agile development process, with regular sprints, weekly syncs, and transparent communication. All features were tested and refined in direct collaboration with the client’s R&D team, ensuring fast iterations and solutions tailored to real production needs.
