Mapvision Offering
Mapvision improves your business by providing a
complete understanding of your production
With a Mapvision Quality Gate you will:
• Deliver only good parts
• Adjust process to nominal
This is seen as increasing profitability by eliminating bad quality costs and reducing
scrap and downtime.
Quality Gate
100 % x 100 %
Quality Gate is the only 100% x
100% in-line inspection system for
automotive body and chassis
components.
It measures in 3D and checks
presences – every feature of every
part within your line cycle time.
Result Suite
Complete understanding
Result Suite provides instant
visual understanding of your
process.
The intuitive visualizations
and easy-to-use tools enable
quick and efficient process
adjustments.

Simple hardware
The accuracy and reliability of Mapvision Quality Gate
comes from it’s sophisticated software, not from special
mechanics. The hardware is simple and reliable and it
doesn’t have any moving parts. The system doesn’t
require any special foundation and it operates in all
normal factory conditions – directly in-line.
Turn-key delivery
Mapvision delivers a fully configured inspection system
that includes inspection hardware, software and services
with a fixed price.
Easy integration
The Quality Gate can be operated manually as a stand
alone system but it is most often integrated to an
automated production line. Mapvision provides line
builders clear interfaces for easy integration of the Quality
Gate to the line automation.

A pay back time of less than one year has
been achieved in real projects.

Deliver only good parts
Defects caused by special and random causes are common in body and chassis component
manufacturing processes. This type of defects will never be detected by sampling inspection.
100% x 100% inspection prevents delivery of bad parts and eliminates the related direct and
indirect costs. 100% x 100% inspection also eliminates the need of process capability studies.
Since the process is truly known there is no need for sampling and statistics.
Repair efficiently
Most bad parts can be re-worked quickly with the help of
Mapvision Result Suite. The worker identifies the part with bar
code and gets automatically a clear and visual set of data that
assists the worker to decide the needed re-work actions.
Top quality status
You will only deliver good parts when you use 100% x 100% inspection. On top of that, you can
easily generate reporting that verifies the delivered quality.
The full inspection data is stored in a database. This means a full traceability of every part.
Automatic measurement with standard reporting ensures global uniformity.

Process Efficiency
Adjust process to nominal –
reduce scrap & downtime
With the immediately available 100% x 100%
inspection data you can:
• adjust the process to nominal
• react well in time to process changes and
trends before they lead to production of
out-of-tolerance parts
The adjustments will be much faster than with any traditional inspection system; measurement is
real-time so you don’t need to queue to the CMM room to get dimensional data of parts.
With the real-time full data and understandable visualisations:
- you can make several adjustment rounds within one working day
- you will make correct and accurate adjustments
Your productivity improves by reduced amount of scrap and downtime.
Develop the dimensional quality of the products faster
Mapvision Quality Gate is designed to measure high volume production in-line. However, unlike
most other systems, it can measure early pre-production parts during the development of the
dimensional quality of the parts (PPAP). Massive time reduction in this process can be achieved
when the production line is adjusted efficiently with Quality Gate, starting from the very beginning
– preferably already in the line-builders’ facilities.
Faster and better launch saves time and money

Mapvision Result Suite software
Result Viewer is a simple and easy-to-use software to present
results visually in an easily usable and understandable way.
Image Studio creates unique production animations and is used to
analyse the production images visually.
Result Database stores the inspection data from the Quality Gate.
It runs on a Mapvision Side Unit or a dedicated server of the
customer.
All results from different Quality Gates are available anywhere just
by connecting Result Viewers to the Result Database over network.

Paradigm change in quality control
Mapvision has been the pioneer of multi-camera technology for decades. The first Mapvision multicamera system was introduced in the mid 80´s. The development of a 100% x 100% in-line inspection
system started in the mid 2000’s which led to the introduction of the first Quality Gate in 2008.
Today Mapvision provides the only 100%
x 100% in-line inspection system,
creating a paradigm change in the
automotive quality control.
1987
Mapvision is based in Finland and it
serves global customers with local
