Camera based system used in foundry in order to control the inoculation process for each mould poured, detecting misalignment or absence of the inoculants.

Operation consisting of adding substances called inoculants to molten metal before pouring (pouring stream inoculation/in-stream inoculation) or directly into the mould so that they create nuclei for crystallization.
