Flexible Deployment: Inline, Atline, or Offline

While our inline systems demonstrate our ability to meet the most demanding production environments, the same technology is available for atline or offline inspection.

Whether you're scanning components between production stages or in a controlled QA lab, Polyrix offers flexible configurations to meet your specific needs:

  • Atline: Quick verification beside the production line

  • Offline: High-detail inspections in metrology environments

  • Inline: Continuous, real-time scanning in flow

Our systems scale to your environment and inspection goals.

Benefits to Your Automotive Production Line

  • ✅ Detect defects before they cascade
  • ✅ Reduce reworks, recalls & warranty claims
  • ✅ Enhance traceability and compliance
  • ✅ Improve yield & overall equipment effectiveness
  • ✅ Eliminate bottlenecks and (optionally) offline inspections

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Automotive Inspection

Yes, our Surround Scanning technology is designed to accurately capture complex shapes and various materials, ensuring comprehensive inspection across diverse components.

Our systems are engineered for seamless integration, communicating directly with your PLCs and MES, and requiring minimal changes to your current workflow.
Polyrix systems are user-friendly and require minimal training, allowing your team to quickly adapt and operate the equipment efficiently.
Absolutely. Polyrix offers comprehensive support services, including remote diagnostics and on-site assistance, and annual maintenance, to ensure optimal system performance.
Surround.Scan™ is Polyrix's patented 3D scanning technology that uses a hemispherical array of cameras and projectors to capture an object from all angles simultaneously. This non-contact, full-field approach provides complete surface coverage in seconds—ideal for complex automotive parts with intricate geometries.
Fast.Scan is an advanced technology module that enables high-speed data acquisition by optimizing lighting and frame processing. It reduces cycle time to as little as 20 seconds, helping manufacturers meet strict takt time requirements in high-volume automotive production.
  • Inline inspection is fully automated and embedded within the production line for real-time quality control. Depending on requirements, up to 100% of parts can be scanned for surface quality.
  • At-line inspection occurs next to the production line and allows for quick quality checks without halting production.
  • Offline inspection is performed away from the line, often in a lab setting, and is ideal for detailed analysis and first-article inspection.
Yes. Polyrix systems are designed for flexibility and can be integrated with robots, conveyors, automation controllers, and MES software. Standard communication protocols and IO modules ensure seamless interoperability.
  • Fast, full-surface inspection
  • No need for targets or part preparation
  • Hands-free, operator-independent operation
  • Integration-ready for automation
  • Increased throughput and reduced scrap rates
  • Cost efficiency due to high throughput and reduced labor
  • Reduced risk of repetitive strain injuries compared to handheld devices
  • Minimal downtime thanks to a motionless, low-maintenance design
By detecting deviations early in the process, Polyrix systems enable root cause analysis and corrective action before parts reach final assembly. This minimizes downstream issues, reduces reworks and recalls, and lowers warranty costs. Manufacturers adopting Industry 4.0 can use PolyScan data trends to proactively adjust production and maintain peak capacity.
Minimal training is required due to intuitive software and automated workflows. Polyrix provides full onboarding support, including on-site or virtual training, with additional modules available for advanced users or automation teams.
Yes. Polyrix scanners are capable of inspecting a wide range of parts, including castings, stamped panels, injection-molded components, battery trays and assemblies. They work effectively on matte and semi-reflective surfaces without the need for preparation.
Polyrix systems offer:
  • Faster inspection cycles
  • Full-field 3D surface data (versus point-by-point)
  • Non-contact, no-probing required
  • Lower maintenance with no moving parts
  • Consistent, repeatable results—even in challenging environments
Polyrix offers global support and annual maintenance packages, including system calibration and certification. Extended warranties, remote diagnostics, and training refreshers are also available.
Systems are built with industrial-grade enclosures and can be equipped with safety interlocks. As light-based, non-contact systems, they pose minimal risk, and optional safety integrations such as light curtains or safety PLCs can be added as needed.
Yes. Polyrix offers customized solutions in our PolyScan V Series. These include unique fixtures, extended scanning volumes, specialized software integrations, and automation configurations. Our team collaborates closely with manufacturers to deliver application-specific results.
Typical cycle time ranges from 6 to 8 minutes for high-resolution scans. When equipped with the Fast.Scan technology module, scan time can be reduced to approximately 20 seconds, depending on part size and complexity.
Polyrix systems generate comprehensive digital inspection records, including 3D color maps using Live.Inspection™. These records can be archived, shared, and exported to support traceability and compliance with ISO, IATF, and OEM requirements.
