The WebSpector system
High-speed, high-accuracy machine vision that checks every fabric type, then turns what it sees into action.
WebSpector is Shelton Vision's automated inspection platform: high-speed, high-accuracy machine vision that checks every fabric type, plain single-colour, complex patterned, and technical web materials.
State-of-the-art line-scan cameras, powerful image-processing software and proven AI classification and grading detect, classify and grade defects on the move, with no false alarms. Run it standalone batch-to-batch, on-loom, or integrate it directly into production processes such as printing, coating, embossing, continuous dyeing and finishing lines.
The result: consistent quality, fewer claims, higher yield, and verifiable performance, with reliable quality data made available across your entire supply chain.
How it works
Every detected defect flows automatically from inspection through to a yield-optimised cutting plan.
Unrivalled inspection accuracy across all fabric types, at full line speed.
Instant digital defect map, auto-classified and 3D-graded for commercial review.
Maximise first-quality yield, an optimised cut plan calculated for any work order, against your rules.
Precise re-roll and cutting-machine control turns the optimised cut plan into reality.
WebSpector handles what others can't, plain single-colour, complex patterned, dark, reflective and heavily textured materials alike.
Deploy it standalone for batch-to-batch inspection, on-loom, or integrate it directly into your production line, printing, coating, laminating, embossing, continuous dyeing and finishing. The same platform inspects at every stage, so quality data flows across your whole operation.
