Real-Time Measurement Reduces Scrap in Plastic Profiles

AI-Based Measurement Technology Integrated into the Production Process for Quality Control of Fiber Composite Profiles

(Dresden, 03/18/2026) A new measurement technology reduces scrap in fiber‑reinforced plastic (FRP) profiles and enables cost‑effective, real-time process control for small and medium-sized enterprises. Researchers developed the system in the PulLoop project led by the Fraunhofer Application Center for Optical Metrology and Surface Technologies AZOM. Together with Fraunhofer IGCV, the team developed an integrated measurement system that monitors product quality in real time during production and feeds the results back into the manufacturing process.
