Detection
Our AI solution for reducing delays in
your contistretch process
With tangle detection
tangle detection notices the tangle in time and immediately suggests the PLC to stop the line. After resolving the tangle, production can quickly resume.

“A common problem in the Contistretch treatment is the formation of tangles.
Undetected tangles reaching the stretch panel usually cause scrap and loss of
production time reducing the overall yield of the plant.
Existing solutions are manual supervision being labor intensive and unreliable
or mechanical devices being liable to wear and costly to maintain.”
“tangle detection (TD) constantly supervises your process visually in real time, using state of the art machine vision and AI technology, to tell normal operation apart from entangled wire. With a slim and easy integratable interface to your existing PLC, tangle detection issues stop triggers on detection of a tangle.
The only limiting factor for the speed of your production line is the time
required to perform a quick-stop.
By feeding production data like diameter and production speed to tangle detection, it automatically adapts itself to your production, optimizing decision making.”
“tangle detection utilizes a camera in a ruggedized housing and a set of LED
spotlights, which can be easily mounted on top of your production line.
The processing unit, an industry standard CompactPCI system, is the core of
tangle detection‘s intelligence. It is directly connected to the camera and
to your existing PLC.”
