Inspection and Measurement Stations – Implementation Services
Types of Stations and Technologies
We offer various types of stations, including:
- Dimensional Measurement Using CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines) and 3D laser scanners for precise geometric measurements.
- Visual Inspection Image processing-based vision systems to detect visual defects.
- Functional Testing Stations designed for electrical and hydraulic tests to ensure proper product functionality.
- Automated Inspection Stations Robots and automation systems enable operator-free inspections, boosting efficiency.
These technologies—sensors, vision systems, and robotics—are integral to our solutions, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
The process of implementing control stations
Our implementation process includes:
- Initial Consultation – We analyze client needs, production processes, and quality requirements.
- Design – Our engineering team selects appropriate technologies and plans the station layout.
- Prototype & Testing – We build a prototype and conduct tests to ensure it meets expectations.
- Production & Assembly – Final station construction with full component integration and quality checks.
- Installation & Commissioning – On-site installation, configuration, and integration with existing systems.
- Training & Support – We train client personnel and provide ongoing technical support.

Frequently Asked Questions
A control and measurement station is a specially designed workplace equipped with measuring equipment, sources of optical radiation, and a set of auxiliary elements, intended for quality control and measurement of various parameters of products or processes.
MDP Engineering offers comprehensive services, including consulting on locating key measurement and quality control points, implementing control and measurement stations, preparing technical documentation, and training client employees.
What additional services does MDP Engineering offer in the area of control and measurement stations?
MDP Engineering provides integration of stations with the client’s existing production systems, the creation of machines and devices in line with the European Machinery Directive, as well as flexible customization of solutions to meet the specific requirements of the project.
Inspection and measurement stations should be implemented at every stage of the production process to ensure high product quality and optimize operations.
- At the Beginning of the Production Process: To control the quality of raw materials and components before processing begins.
- During the Production Process (In-Process Inspection): After completing individual technological operations, to detect potential errors and deviations from standards. This allows for quick response and prevents further processing of defective parts.
- At the End of the Production Process (Final Inspection): For a comprehensive evaluation of the finished product before it is delivered to the customer. Quality control can be carried out at the beginning, end, or during the manufacturing of a production batch.
