After years of effort and experience, the technical team of Zomorod Sanat Asia Company has achieved the technology of building slab stone scanner machines based on machine vision for the first time in the country. The first industrial sample of the machine was operationalized in the production line of the factory in 2011, and since then, it has succeeded in introducing the sixth and seventh generations of stone scanners with incredible quality to the stone industry.

 

 

Why does experience matter in this industry?

More than 200,000 photographs of approximately 300 different types of stones with tens of thousands of different color combinations and continuous research on high-quality and high-performance equipment, unparalleled software management systems, and over 8 years of experience and collaboration with industry leaders can only be obtained over time. This experience will be made available to other customers at a priceless value.

Why do we need stone scanners in stone processing factories?

 

Stone processing factories face difficulties in marketing and selling large-sized slab stones. It is challenging to view each slab and determine its quality, pattern, and design, especially when they are stacked on top of each other in large pallets in the warehouse. Moving each slab, which weighs around 150 kilograms, is not only time-consuming but also poses risks to human workers and the possibility of damaging the slabs during constant movement, leading to significant financial losses.

 

To address these issues, and after consulting and researching with top companies in the stone industry, a system has been designed to capture high-quality images of slab stones. This eliminates the need to move the slabs physically, and at the same time, provides the ability to view online images of the factory's products. Customers, both inside and outside the company, can easily examine the quality, pattern, design, and other information of the stones through high-quality and accurate photographs.

Building such a system requires not only software knowledge but also complex hardware knowledge to construct a scanner device. Zomorod Sanat Asia Company's technical team has acquired the necessary expertise and knowledge to build a stone scanner device over the years. They introduced the first prototype of this device in 2011 and have since introduced the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth generations of stone scanners. The company has continuously improved its hardware and software, and the stone scanner is now operational in several industrial factories, competing in terms of quality with foreign examples.

It can be confidently said that Zomorod Sanat Asia Company is the first company to offer such technology for stone scanning within the country. Before this, factory owners had to rely solely on foreign companies to meet their needs for this device.

This product is now capable of meeting the needs of all stone cutting factories, whether in large or small dimensions, at a much more reasonable price (less than 35% of foreign examples). Zomorod Sanat Asia Company is a knowledge-based company that has worked hard over the years to achieve this level of expertise, and is now ready to produce this device on a global scale.
