senswork to Present BrickChecker at the 2026 Clemson Brick Plant Operator's Forum

Advanced 3D Inline Inspection System Enables 100% Quality Control for Clay Brick Production

Johnson City, October 06, 2026 – senswork delivered a presentation on BrickChecker at the 2026 Clemson Brick Plant Operator's Forum, introducing the technology to a U.S. audience for the first time after its successful use in European brick manufacturing facilities. The company explained how to automate 100% inline brick inspection to meet increasing quality requirements, reduce the impact of rising production costs, and gain greater process transparency.

As production demands increase and quality requirements become more stringent, manufacturers face the challenge of identifying dimensional deviations and grinding defects before they lead to scrap, rework, or customer complaints. The senswork BrickChecker addresses this challenge with fully automated 100% inline inspection, measuring every brick directly in the production process without slowing throughput.

From Spot Checks to 100% Inspection

Developed specifically for ground clay-brick surfaces, BrickChecker uses dual-sensor 3D laser scanning technology to perform a complete 360-degree inspection of each product. The system measures flatness, squareness, parallelism, and dimensional accuracy with a resolution of 0.1 mm, delivering highly repeatable results independent of operator influence.

"Traditional quality control methods rely on spot checks that evaluate only a fraction of production," said Ryan Lilly, President at senswork Inc. "With BrickChecker, manufacturers gain complete visibility into their production quality, enabling them to detect issues immediately and take corrective action before larger volumes are affected."

Built for Harsh Production Environments

Designed for the demanding conditions of ceramic manufacturing, BrickChecker features a rugged industrial design that withstands dust, vibration, and temperature fluctuations. Protected optics, process-stable measurements, and an automatic calibration concept ensure consistent performance even in challenging production environments.

Certified System Integrator Program

Set Yourself at the Forefront of the Global Vision Market

Vision system integrators certified by A3 are acknowledged globally throughout the industry as an elite group of accomplished, highly skilled and trusted professionals. You’ll be able to leverage your certification to enhance your competitiveness and expand your opportunities.

GET CERTIFIED

Beyond measurement, the system provides users with intelligent analysis tools that transform quality data into actionable process insights. Operators receive automatic pass/fail evaluations based on predefined tolerances, while detailed visualizations and trend analyses support continuous process optimization. Optional defect detection capabilities can identify grinding defects, edge damage, and flatness deviations, helping manufacturers further reduce waste and improve product consistency.

Turning Quality Data into Process Intelligence

The BrickChecker can be integrated directly into existing production lines and supports a variety of brick formats, conveyor systems, and plant automation architectures. Open interfaces to PLC, MES, and customer-specific IT systems allow manufacturers to incorporate inspection data into their broader digital manufacturing strategies.

By moving from sample-based quality control to continuous inline inspection, manufacturers can benefit from the following:

• Higher product quality and consistency
• Reduced scrap and rework costs
• Fewer customer complaints
• Complete inspection documentation and traceability
• Improved process control through real-time production data
