EMVS FIND DEFECTS EARLIER.
REDUCE SCRAP.
Detect visible armor defects while cable is being manufactured—not after a full reel is produced. CORPEX EMVS uses machine vision and AI to monitor armored cable, reel conditions and selected activity around the line, helping operators respond sooner and limit avoidable waste.

The cost of a defect grows with every metre.
EMVS is the CORPEX Environmental Machine Vision System. It monitors visible cable defects, reel conditions and selected areas around a production line—not just dimensional measurements.
By identifying an abnormal condition while production is running, EMVS can help teams act before more material is affected. The value is straightforward: less avoidable scrap, less rework and clearer production visibility.
A defect missed until final inspection can affect a substantial cable length. Earlier recognition gives operators an opportunity to isolate the problem sooner and reduce the material at risk.
Catch armor defects before they become reels of scrap.
EMVS monitors visible armor conditions during cable production. Machine vision and AI can flag abnormalities such as missing armor, distortion and convolution irregularities while the line is running.
Instead of discovering a defect after additional cable has been produced, operators gain an earlier opportunity to investigate, correct the cause and limit potential scrap or rework.
Every minute of earlier detection matters.
When a cable armoring defect goes unnoticed, the line can continue producing material that may need to be scrapped or reworked. EMVS helps shorten the time between a visible defect appearing and an operator becoming aware of it.
Build the business case from your line.
Potential material at risk = line speed × detection delay.
Then factor in defect frequency, scrap or rework cost per metre, and the achievable reduction in detection delay. Actual savings and payback depend on your process and how the system is configured and used.
Discuss your scrap-reduction opportunity →Monitor the cable and the reels that move it.
EMVS extends inspection visibility to take-up and pay-off conditions, helping operators spot issues affecting material flow and reel handling.
Armor condition monitoring
Follow visible armor structure and product condition continuously during production.
Reel and material monitoring
Watch reel presence, fill level and movement to help avoid preventable line interruptions.
Measure dimensions. Recognize visible defects.
CMVS and EMVS solve complementary inspection challenges on cable production lines.
CMVS: measure the cable.
Continuously measure cable dimensions such as outside diameter, convolution pitch and length.
EMVS: inspect what the numbers miss.
Monitor visible armor defects, product condition, reels and selected production areas with machine vision and AI.
Together, the systems can provide a more complete view of cable quality and line conditions. Explore CORPEX wire and cable inspection systems.
From live images to earlier action.
EMVS observes defined areas, analyzes visible conditions and shares useful information with operators and connected plant systems.
Capture
Cameras monitor selected cable, reel and workspace views.
Recognize
Machine vision and AI flag defined visible abnormalities.
Respond
Operators can investigate issues sooner, before more cable is affected.
Connect
