Move Move & Traffic Controls GmbH (MTC) is expanding its portfolio with an innovative solution in the area of vehicle underbody inspection: the Auto²Scan Color . This system offers high-precision, colored images of vehicle underbody and is specifically designed for use in the areas of appraisal offices, automotive (especially electric vehicles) and car logistics/vehicle shipping. Auto²Scan Color uses the latest image processing technology to make inspections and assessments more efficient and reliable.
Possible uses and advantages for various industries
1. Appraisal bodies (e.g. TÜV)
For testing bodies such as TÜV, thorough inspection of the vehicle underbody plays a central role in safety and approval tests. Auto²Scan Color is equipped with a high-resolution color camera that provides detailed images and makes it possible to precisely detect the smallest irregularities, such as rust or mechanical damage. The color representation makes it easier for appraisers to visually evaluate inspection results and ensure that vehicles meet the required standards.
2. Automotive sector (especially electric vehicles)
In the automotive sector, primarily in the manufacture of electric vehicles, underbody control is crucial. Auto²Scan Color plays an indispensable role here. The system's color camera allows critical points in electric vehicles to be monitored, such as the attachment points of the battery and other electronic components on the underbody. Auto²Scan Color helps to detect assembly errors such as missing screws at an early stage in order to minimize safety risks and ensure the quality of the vehicles.
3. Car logistics and vehicle shipping companies
Before transporting vehicles, a comprehensive condition inspection is essential to document damage and guarantee transport safety. Auto²Scan Color enables logistics companies to capture colored images of the underbody before vehicles are loaded. This visual documentation provides a reliable basis for comparing the condition of the vehicle before and after transport, contributing to greater transparency and security in the supply chain.
Technical details and functions
The Auto²Scan Color System consists of several state-of-the-art components including:
- Color line camera: The digital camera captures high-resolution images with 2K resolution at a line rate of 660 Hz, which makes it possible to see the finest details of the underbody.
- White light LED lighting: Special LED lighting ensures even and clear illumination of the underbody, so that no details are lost even in dark areas.
- Image editing via Raspberry Pi 5: The heart of the system, a Raspberry Pi 5, controls the system and enables easy image editing. The software can be controlled via any internet-enabled device (PC, laptop, tablet or cell phone) by connecting it to the Raspberry Pi 5 via WLAN or LAN.
- Mobile and stationary drive-over structures: The system can be installed as a mobile version for vehicles up to 3.5 tons or as a stationary version for vehicles up to 12.5 tons. This offers flexibility in application depending on needs and location.
