Increasing need for detecting contamination to push the demand for Inline quality control sensors
Inline quality measurement enables processes to run with a higher level of control. Changes in the process, caused by raw materials, energy supply, or operational influences, can be detected immediately. Types of inline quality control sensor include Point profile sensors, Line profile sensors, and Snapshot sensors.
- Profile sensors are the speed demons of the 3D smart sensor family. Using a single laser point, these sensors are able to scan at very high speed (32 kHz).
- line profile sensors project a line of laser light onto an object to measure the contour or profile of the surface.
- Snapshot sensors are different from laser-based sensors in that they use blue LED structured light as their projection source.
Inline quality control tracks the process every second to complement lab testing, completing the picture and facilitating continuous quality improvements. Manufacturer offers a wide portfolio of technologies and process instrumentation that help to –
- Ensure product quality and protect your brand
- Avoid product losses
- Increase plant availability
- Reduce raw material

Key developments & Trends
Inline quality control sensors are mostly used in industries, such as the pharmaceutical industry and the food & beverages industry, where extensive rules and regulations govern the quality of the manufacturing and packaging process. Tasks, such as detecting contamination in packed foods, quality control in packaging processes and ensuring reliable air-tight packaging are critical and therefore, the need of the hour. The global inline quality control sensors market is characterized by constant research and development and frequent upgrades in the sensor technology, which significantly enhances their ability to detect several parameters inline. Some of the key trends in the inline quality control sensors market are –
- Rapid adoption of inline quality control sensors by food & beverage companies to reduce operator interventions and product returns. For instance, a cleaning product manufacturer based in North America recently installed a iVu Plus TG sensor. This sensor helps them identify mislabeled bottles and products which are not aligned correctly for packaging. The sensor was preferred due to its easy setup and highly efficient automated comparison of the products with an approved image.
Inline quality control sensors market: Segmentation
The global inline quality control sensors market has been segmented as –
Based on product type, the global Inline quality control sensors market has been segmented as follows –
- Point profile sensors
- Line profile sensors
- Snapshot sensors
- Point profile sensors usually use a single laser point to scan at very high speeds. The results obtained from the scan can be used to perform functions, such as inspect displacement in a fast-moving process and build a contour or profile along the direction of the movement of the belt.
- Line profile sensors are used to measure the contour or the profile of the surface. They do that by means of a line of laser light. Line profile sensors can generate 3D point cloud for 3D feature inspection. One of the advantages of having line profile sensors is the range of object sizes they are compatible with. Line profile quality control sensors can measure the shape of very small (10 mm) to large width objects (1.5 m), moving at high speed.
- Snapshot sensors are ideal for inline inspection applications in which the object is momentarily stationary. Therefore, they are mostly used for pick and place and similar robotic applications.
Based on end use, the global Inline quality control sensors market has been segmented as follows –
- Food & Beverages
- Pharmaceutical
- Others
The pricing of inline quality control sensors is based on their type and configuration i.e. point profile, line profile and snapshot variants.
Based on geography, the global Inline quality control sensors market has been divided into seven key regions –
- North America
- Latin America
- Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ)
- Western Europe
- Eastern Europe
- Middle East & Africa (MEA)
- Japan
