The WebSpector system
Machine vision that inspects every fabric type, then turns each defect into an optimised cut plan.
WebSpector is Shelton Vision's automated inspection platform. It inspects every fabric type at full line speed: plain single-colour, complex patterned, and technical web materials.
Line-scan cameras, image-processing software and AI classification 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.
You get consistent quality, fewer claims, higher yield and verifiable performance, with reliable quality data across your supply chain.
How it works
Every detected defect flows automatically from inspection through to a yield-optimised cutting plan.
Accurate inspection 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 inspects materials others can't: plain single-colour, complex patterned, dark, reflective and heavily textured.
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.
