SMARTLAB – Machine vision and digital inspection

• Physical Sciences

Tel.: +34 943 882 303

Infrastructure specializing in inspection and monitoring technologies based on machine vision, photonics, and active thermography.

It integrates advanced industrial vision systems (2D, 3D, hyperspectral, and high-speed imaging), infrared cameras for non-destructive testing using thermography, and a photonics laboratory equipped with optical sensors, profilometers, and laser sources for non-contact metrology.

The facility enables the automatic detection of surface and subsurface defects in a wide range of materials, OK/NOK part classification, and the development of AI algorithms for industrial inspection.
