Bloomington, MN - April 21, 2009 - PPT VISION, Inc. announces their SENTINEL Mold Protection Solution is now available Internationally. The SENTINEL offers the manufacturing industry a superior turn-key vision inspection solution to protect mold processes and tooling by detecting errors in real-time, then shutting down production and alerting operators before damages occur. Initially released in the United States in November 2008, the SENTINEL's superior protection capabilities can now be utilized in molding applications worldwide.
The SENTINEL Mold Protection Solution was unveiled in early April to the global molding industry at the Southern China Plastics and Mold Show in Shenzhen, China. Upcoming plastic and molding industry events showcasing the SENTINEL Mold Protection Solution have additionally been scheduled in the United States and England.
The SENTINEL's global introduction is also taking place throughout Europe and North America. Product Seminars are being scheduled in England, Ireland, Germany, France, Canada and the United States.
