You’ve been tasked with integrating a machine vision system. What does integration entail? This article covers the activities you will typically have to handle when integrating a vision system.
Manufacturers and brand owners are under tremendous pressure to ensure premium end-to-end product quality, especially as consumers increasingly demand perfection. And a great deal of that product quality pressure still falls on human visual inspection.
Lens and camera manufacturers need to collaborate to develop new mounting standards for the new, large sensor formats already on the market, as well as the ones that will be introduced.
Imaging sensors in the machine vision space have traditionally fit into cameras utilizing only a couple of different camera mounts. However, newer sensors are beginning to grow far too large. Lens and camera manufacturers need to collaborate to develop new mounting standards for the new, large sensor formats.
Machine vision solutions help advance quality by recognizing defects at more efficient rates than humans can, making for more consistent and faster production cycles.
While artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining favor as a solution to quality problems, it brings a number of new, sometimes confusing, terms. As a first step, many manufacturers ask “What is AI?”
Imaging using short wave infrared (SWIR) radiation has long offered interesting properties for industrial machine vision but has been slow to be adopted.
