Bringing Industrial Automation to Your Laboratory!
HF Innovation’s Visual Inspection Module revolutionizes the way laboratories perform visual evaluations of oil samples. This module seamlessly integrates with HF’s laboratory systems and LIMS, providing a sophisticated, automated solution to assess oil clarity, color, and presence of contaminants through high-resolution imaging.

Designed for high-throughput applications, it excels in environments that demand efficiency and precision.
- High-Resolution Imaging
– Advanced Optics: Utilises state-of-the-art cameras and lighting systems to capture detailed images of oil samples.
– Automatic Color Assessment: Analyses oil color against industry standards to determine the oil’s condition and usage life.
-Automatic Turbidity determination: Analyzes oil clarity or turbidity. - Automated Contaminant Detection
– Precise Detection: Identifies particulate matter, water contamination, and other impurities with high accuracy.
– Innovative Imaging Technique: Images the underside of the sample container lid after it is removed and inverted to quantify debris remaining, ensuring a thorough assessment of contamination.
– Rapid Analysis: Processes images and provides assessments faster and more accurately than manual evaluations, enhancing lab throughput. - Integration and Connectivity
– Seamless System Integration: Easily integrates with existing HF’s automation systems, LIMS, and automated workflows.
– Data Sharing Capabilities: Connects with lab management software to share and store images and results for further analysis.
– Robotic and Automated System Compatibility: Designed to function as part of a larger automated setup, ensuring smooth operations across various platforms. - Enhanced Safety and Efficiency
– Reduced Human Error: Minimises the subjective bias of manual visual inspections.
– Efficient Workflow: Automates the process, allowing lab personnel to focus on other critical tasks.
The Visual Inspection Module operates through a series of sophisticated, automated steps:
1. Sample Loading: Samples are automatically loaded into the module via an integrated robotic system or can be manually loaded.
2. Lid Removal and Imaging: The sample container lid is carefully removed, and high-resolution cameras equipped with specialized lighting capture detailed images of the underside of the lid to assess any contaminants.
3. Image Analysis: Advanced software analyzes the images for color, clarity, and impurities. The system uses predefined criteria to evaluate the condition of the oil.
4. Result Compilation: The analysis results are compiled and can be viewed directly through the system interface and integrated into LIMS for comprehensive reporting and tracking.
5. Data Storage and Retrieval: All images and data are stored securely, with easy access for future reference or detailed audits.
This module is particularly effective in industries where oil integrity is crucial, such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery. It supports routine maintenance checks and ensures compliance with safety standards.
