Tiles, Slabs and Blocks Quality Inspection
Natural stone demand is increasing among property owners across the world. The use of different natural stone products is expanding and even changing with innovation. But not every natural stone installation turns out perfect.
Quality Inspection and Quality Assurance Process
Marble suppliers need to comply with a number of factors to ensure each product matches the space it is made for. It is also important to work according to customer requirements, their design taste, and the specifications of the application. All of these potential challenges have only one solution. And that is a thorough quality inspection and quality assurance process. The quality of the stone sourced for a particular project plays an instrumental role. It decides how the stone will look and perform after finished installation. It also determines how it will look and perform ten years later.

Importance of Marble Quality Classification
Marble quality classification is a very important issue since export of marble slabs has important economic impact on natural stone industry. Considering the massive transportation costs and requirements of marbles, it is necessary to achieve acceptably high performance in quality classification. However, classification of marble slabs in terms of quality is generally performed manually using human operators. This is rather subjective and prone to errors. Hence, automated and computerized methods are needed in order to obtain reproducible and objective results.
