Floor tiles — shape, dimension and thickness measurement

Multi-sensor configuration: a ring of profilers scans the tile from all angles as it moves along the production line. This data is processed by our software, which calculates size parameters — such as length, width and edge straightness — using algorithms like edge detection and Euclidean distance calculations.
