Rockwell Automation has collaborated with Tekna Automazione e Controllo and Prometeon Tyre Group to advance automated tire inspection and quality-control processes in tire manufacturing operations.
The project combines Rockwell Automation’s industrial automation and digital transformation expertise with Tekna Automazione e Controllo’s image-processing and inspection technology to automate the detection and classification of tire anomalies during final inspection. Prometeon has selected and commissioned the solution to automatically inspect truck, bus and radial tires.
“Tire manufacturers continue to face increasing expectations around product quality, operational efficiency and workforce productivity,” said Luca Galluzzi, country director, Italy, Rockwell Automation.
“This project demonstrates the value of bringing together complementary expertise from across the industrial ecosystem.
