Elbit Vision Systems Ltd., a global provider of vision technology for automatic surface inspection and in-line quality monitoring systems, is out with its new product iBar. iBar is an essential tool for textile manufacturers to capitalze on, with complete raw material utilization.

iBar provides complete reel and process inspection during the most critical step in textile production, the formation of the fabric web. By providing real-time feedback and complete defect elimination, iBar enables manufacturers to improve input-output ratios.

The first application of this solution is for monitoring production looms to ensure that the highest priced textile component, raw material, gives maximum product yield.

According to Sam Cohen, CEO of EVS, the textile industry has been searching for this type of solution for nearly four decades, and they have developed the technology to make it possible. The soft launch of the iBar has so far received a warm welcome and they already have it installed at four customer sites. Their goal is to sell at least 50 machines this year, growing exponentially to 500 in 2015. They believe the iBar will propel EVS into a new chapter in their history.

EVS offers a broad portfolio of automatic State-of-the-Art Visual Inspection Systems for both in-line and off-line applications, and process monitoring systems used to improve product quality, safety, and increase production efficiency. Many leading global companies have put to use EVS' systems.
