Catch Hidden Defects In Real-Time.
Factory-Proven Quality Inspection Solutions
Turnkey In-Line Inspection Solutions
Temperature-sensitive processes have unique inspection needs and challenges. Let us show you how to use thermal imaging and AI to inspect every part and product you make.
Plastics
Precision in plastic welding is essential for creating durable and reliable products, especially in industries where safety and performance are non-negotiable. But inspecting the quality of plastic welds in hot plate welding, ultrasonic welding, and vibration welding has been a significant challenge.
Stop relying on wasteful destructive testing get the visibility and data you need to inspect every weld inline with our AI-enabled thermal inspections.

Metals
Steel Weld Inspection
Steel grate welding requires precise control to ensure structural integrity and longevity. But analyzing the quality of welds can be a challenge.
Eigen’s thermal inspection solutions are specifically designed to handle the rigors of steel welding applications. Thermal images captured during the welding process are consolidated with process data provide the data needed to create an AI inspection model that can detect improper welds, cracks, and other irregularities by visualizing heat patterns.
Our real-time inspections allow operators to correct issues on the spot, ensuring that Production and Quality teams have confidence in the safety and durability of their welds while reducing rework and waste.

- Industrials
Types of Products
- Wire Mesh
- Wire Grating
Defects Detected
- Incomplete Fusion
- Cracks
- Burn Through
- Spatter
Packaging and Adhesives
Cardboard Box Sealing Inspection
Monitoring adhesive application during cardboard box sealing is crucial to avoid box failures and product damage. In most cases, Operators do not have a clear view of the adhesive as it’s being dispensed inside the sealing machines.
Eigen’s AI-enabled thermal inspection solution gives Operators a view of the distribution of the adhesive and AI inspections detect anomalies such as gaps, excess or temperature variations that can lead to glue failures.
Integrating AI-enabled thermal inspections into the adhesive application process helps prevent product damage, reduce customer complaints, and maintain a manufacturer’s reputation for quality.
Ideal for
- Cardboard Box Sealing
Industry
- CPG Packaging
Defects Detected
- Application Gaps
- Excess Disbursement
- Inadequate Glue Temperature
Windshield Assembly Adhesive Inspection
Ensuring precise adhesive application on windshields is a challenge. Most line-scan, bead monitoring solutions can’t consistently detect gaps and variations that lead to post-install problems like leaks.
Eigen’s thermal inspection solution captures images and data used to train AI inspection models that detect inconsistencies like voids or uneven distribution during the application process. Real-time feedback allows Operators to make adjustments and ensure that the adhesive layer meets safety standards for lasting durability.
By integrating thermal inspection into windshield adhesive applications, OEMs can ensure vehicle safety and reduce the likelihood of costly repairs and warranty claims.
Ideal for
- Windshield Adhesive
Industries
- Automotive Assembly
Defects Detected
- Application Voids/Gaps
- Excess Adhesive
- Inadequate Temperature
Building Materials
Thermal Drywall/Wallboard Inspection
Numerous “hidden defects” can occur when manufacturing drywall or wallboard – defects that can cause product issues and failures during panel installation.
Our thermal drywall inspection solution provides manufacturing teams will a view “between the sheets” during the drying process. Thermal images and process data captured are used to train AI inspection models that can detect multiple defects including surface defects, thickness variations, and other quality issues.
Real-time monitoring and automated analysis mean reduced reliance on destructive testing and fewer panels with defects being shipped from the factory.
Ideal for
- Drywall
- Wallboard
- Plasterboard
Industries
- Building/Construction Materials
Defects Detected
- Voids
- Cracking
- Surface Imperfections
- Delamination
- Cracks
- Moisture-related issues
Extruded Plastic Materials
Plastic extrusion is used to create a variety of plastic products with a consistent cross-sectional profile including composite boards, window/door frames and siding. Quality testing on these products typically involves wasteful destructive testing.
Our thermal extrusion inspection solution provides manufacturing teams with the ability to “see inside” extruded products as they are being made, Thermal images and process data captured are used to train AI inspection models that can detect multiple defects including surface defects, voids, delamination, warping and other quality issues.
Real-time monitoring and comprehensive quality data allow Quality and Production teams to reduce – even eliminate – destructive testing and have confidence in the structural integrity of every product shipped from the factory.
Ideal for
- Drywall
- Wallboard
- Plasterboard
Industries
- Building/Construction Materials
- Marine
- Agriculture
- Automotive
- Packaging
Defects Detected
- Voids
