We sat down with Dr. Arun Dalmia, founder and president of Active Inspection, a systems integrator based in Grand Rapids, MI, to ask him some questions on how system integration has helped his clients build robust and sustainable manufacturing processes and how the role of systems integrators is evolving.

A smart camera in the machine vision market is defined by its system architecture, experts say. Specifically, a smart camera packages an imaging sensor, sensor interface, computer, and I/O interface into a single package.

User-friendly software tools that enable even users without experience to evaluate their applications with AI vision and implement them intuitively.

As an alternative to CMMs, production engineers have the option of deploying versatile, noncontact optical inspection systems that allow for the implementation of first-article or random part inspection in a fast, nondestructive way.

New CEO to drive expansion of Allied Vision’s and TKH´s leadership position in the Vision Industry.

Machine vision lighting is a broad topic but a short article can be useful because some core concepts are not widely known. We’ll start with three core statements.

We review the “state of the market” and discuss some established technologies that are maturing to provide value to more end users, as well as some “cutting-edge” technologies that may bear watching.

In this article, we review key standards that currently exist and provide an overview on recent updates and potential changes that will impact and benefit users of machine vision technologies. We also look at the work of various organizations to understand how their standards may impact the machine vision market.

Computational imaging technology has found its way into industrial automated inspection, where the creative use of illumination components has emerged as an enabling technology providing valuable imaging capabilities.

As the field of machine vision grows, it becomes increasingly important to understand what makes a machine vision system work well.
