Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for monitoring properties of a web during a roll-to-roll manufacturing process. The methods may include moving the web past a first roller such that the web contacts the first roller, wherein the first roller includes a first contact strip formed of an electrically conductive material and extends circumferentially about the first roller, applying a voltage to the first contact strip while moving the web past the first roller, such that the voltage conducts through the web to a second contact strip, measuring the voltage received by the second contact strip, determining local resistance values relative to positions of the web based on the difference in the voltage applied to the first contact strip and the voltage received by the second contact strip, and determining at least one property of the web relative to the positions of the web based on the local resistance values.
