CONCRETE PRODUCTS & CAST STONE106 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 2 | 2026 www.cpi-worldwide.comR&W, a long-standing manufacturer of quality control systems for the concrete industry, has announced the release of its new R&W Inspection System %u2013 Vision Add-On. The solution is designed to expand automated inspection capabilities for concrete producers, bridging the gap between traditional height measurement and full 3D inspection.As a global market leader, R&W has a strong worldwide presence, with deep roots and extensive experience in the North American market. Over decades, the company has built a solid reputation for reliable inspection technology in demanding concrete plant environments. For more than 25 years, R&W has focused on quality control solutions for the concrete industry, combining proven hardware with continuous technological innovation.Bridging the Quality GapThe new R&W Inspection System %u2013 Vision Add-On is positioned between R&W%u2019s well-known SHV500 height measurement system and its full 3D Inspection System. The SHV500, widely used in concrete block plants, measures product height at three defined points and has become a trusted procedure for height control. With a relatively low additional investment, producers can now extend this system with the Vision Add-On to include automated surface inspection.It detects surface-related defects such as cracks, stains, visual defects, and color deviations, while continuing to use the SHV500 for height measurement. This provides an accessible entry point into automated surface quality control, particularly for producers looking to improve consistency without replacing existing equipment. The system can be installed as an upgrade to existing SHV500 units or delivered as a fully integrated solution.
