How to improve quality control and timber measurement - practical examples

Every non-conforming piece that falls into the hands of a customer is a potential problem. Dealing with complaints or reputational damage is, of course, not pleasant. This is true in all industries, and woodworking is no exception.

Our corporate values

The process of value creation has been a long-term affair in KINALI. All the teams commented on them, and it was this phase that took longer, because it is difficult to perfectly define something that we have as a fluctuating feeling within us.

The KINALI teams came together and the discussions and final vote resulted in corporate values that we at KINALI consider essential.

KINALI and academic relations

At Kinali, academic and other student relationships have a strong place. This stems from the fact that the two founders of Kinali built the company by getting to know each other while studying at FIT BUT Brno, so it is simply a natural part of the company's mental setup.

Test-it-off at Productronica 2023

Come and visit us at this year's Productronica in Munich. You will be able to see our Test-it-off solution for automated off-the-line PCB testing in Hall A1 (Stand 222 - Unites/Kinali) on 14-17 November 2023.

Fast and accurate optical wood quality control thanks to artificial intelligence

Each piece of wood is unique, which poses a challenge for optical quality control. This is because there is no universal reference sample for comparison with the products being inspected. However, with the use of artificial intelligence, the many combinations of shades and variations can be handled efficiently. The combination of AI with high-end industrial cameras can detect even the smallest defects that the human eye would otherwise easily miss. And in a fraction of a second.

Mycronic has extended its cooperation with KINALI. Software for high-tech projects will be developed in Brno

Swedish technology corporation Mycronic strengthens its cooperation with KINALI. Our company will now be involved in the development of software for the high-tech projects division. Machines that no one else can produce at this level are being developed there.

Potato vending machine from KINALI: HW and SW development under one roof

Agricultural cooperatives also seek new and innovative ways to get their products directly to consumers and bypass the conventional supply chain. It makes sense. This move allows the price of fruit and vegetables to be lowered for consumers and the producer's profits to increase instead of being lost in the wholesale and retail sector. One such project we helped bring to the world in the form of potato vending machines.

We won the Visionary 2022 award for our Test-it-off solution

Together with our partner VUT Brno, we have been nominated for the Visionary 2022 award by CzechInno. In cooperation with VUT Brno, we created our quality controller of the future - the Test-it-off solution.

PCB circuit testing and its automation options

PCB manufacturers must take into account the risk of error or failure. Therefore, they use various PCB quality control methods to detect the problem early. Automation is at the forefront, making the testing process fast, accurate and independent of the presence of employees.
