Success through Quality: Our partnership with ABB PMA in Uster

We are pleased to announce the close and successful cooperation between ABB PMA Cable Protection in Uster and nLine. In a partnership project, our optical inline inspection system was successfully integrated into ABB PMA's ongoing production, further improving quality assurance and process stability in production at ABB PMA.

What does ABB PMA Cable Protection do?

With its solutions, ABB PMA combines technical expertise with software to improve the way things are manufactured, moved, powered, and operated. In this way, the company enables a more sustainable and resource-efficient future.

Decision for the nLine system

As part of the evaluation of new quality assurance methods, ABB PMA came across our system. In addition to the price-performance ratio, the ability to precisely detect surface impurities, the flexible adjustment options and the integrated filter functions were decisive for the decision.

Easy to use, fast results

For ABB PMA, the intuitive operation and ease of commissioning of the new applications was a significant plus. The introduction of the inline inspection system was perceived as professional, particularly pleasant and efficient.

Positive effects on Quality and Efficiency

Although a final evaluation of the results is still pending, clear improvements and a significant gain in process reliability are already emerging. In addition, the inline inspection system was able to show that certain quality deviations occur much more frequently than previously assumed. nLine's new quality monitoring system enables complete detection. With this insight, it is possible to correct these quality deviations with priority.

Collaboration and Outlook

Since ABB PMA Cable Protection introduced the nLine inspection system, we have been working in partnership to further develop the product together according to customer requirements. Thanks to the regular exchange, we have already been able to successfully implement several of the extensions requested by ABB PMA over the past six months. We are looking forward to further joint development and cooperation!
