Foam manufacturers are faced with:

Rising labor costs
Rising feedstock costs
Rising energy costs
Increasing environmental concerns
Increasing quality and delivery requirements

As a result, foam manufacturers need to:

Reduce feedstock requirements by reducing scrap
Reduce rejection rate of processed foam parts
Provide better traceability of individual foam parts
Move towards flexible manufacturing with less in-process inventory

Foam processing machinery suppliers are continually adding intelligence to their equipment which is enabling automatic job processing and even complete production automation. However, automation of the foam manufacturing process requires automation of the measurements of the resulting foam pieces to ensure continual quality with minimum scrap and rejects.
