Hammer-IMS is a high-tech company in the field of industrial sensing. It is a spin-off company of research laboratory ESAT - MICAS of KU Leuven University. The company is based in Hasselt, Belgium. Hammer-IMS supplies contactless measurement systems for measuring thickness, weight and anomalies of flat structures in production lines, based on the disruptive technology of Hammer-IMS's M-Rays.
During my student job at HAMMER-IMS I worked on a graph to display the evolution of the thickness or basis-weight of measured materials.
The new Color Graph offers the advantage that it clearly shows the path that the sensor head(s) follow. This allows clients to see where in length and width that the material shows potential shortcomings, i.e. the areas where the thickness or basis-weight of the material falls outside the pre-determined boundaries. The green color implies that the material is within the specified tolerances; red spots indicate where the material is above the upper tolerance level and blue spots where the material is below the lower tolerance level. With a single glance, the screen shows clients an overall dynamic graphic overview of the quality of the material being produced.
I developed this with the C++ language, QT framework and QCustomPlot library.
