The management and cataloguing of the material in stock is a subject of great importance in the stone industry, supported and made even more important today by the need to present and sell the product even remotely.
SIMEC was among the first companies on the market to have developed advanced solutions for the acquisition of slab images directly on the processing line. These solutions have become more and more reliable and sophisticated over time, and are characterized by the possibility to collect, together with the image of the material, a considerable amount of information, such as the size of the slabs, thickness, origin, processing performed, and much more.
With the IMAGESHARE MATRIX 4.0 version, SIMEC goes even further, offering a system that is not only completely automatic and particularly accurate in acquiring images, but also able to integrate software solutions for the management of material certification, the creation of virtual warehouses, the online sale of slabs, as well as the possibility of using product images to create pre-production solutions, such as nesting, mock-ups and laying simulations, etc., applications to which the most advanced companies look at with great interest.
It is therefore not surprising that the IMAGESHARE MATRIX 4.0 system has been chosen by important clients all over the world for the management of their warehouses and for the online sale of the material, as happened in the recent installation shown here, carried out for one of the best known companies in the sector, which wanted to equip itself with the best technology to have a precise and always updated inventory of its warehouse.
IMAGESHARE MATRIX 4.0, in fact, stands out from the alternative solutions on the market for its industrial reliability and the quality of the system, which integrates and automates all the functions necessary to perform the work, without the need to modify the settings when the material changes. The acquisition of the image, carried out inside a camera in a controlled light environment, occurs during the passage of the material, therefore without causing slowdowns of the system, producing images of the highest quality and completely free of reflections, on which the operator can highlight on the screen the presence of possible defects to be taken into account in the subsequent processing. Moreover, the system is able to automatically contour the images of the slabs and obtain the profile, thus allowing to estimate the surface and the internal and external useful area for the possible cutting operations. The machine also detects the thickness of the material, thus making it possible to obtain an estimate of the weight of the slab.
Thanks to its exclusive features, IMAGESHARE MATRIX 4.0 is achieving great appreciation from clients, in applications that will certainly grow in the future.
