As manufacturers worldwide seek to enhance their machines and equipment with online connectivity—an example of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)—they are realizing this technology’s remarkable potential. I
In all types of industries, machine learning (ML) tools are finding the needle in the haystack of data, augmenting quality and safety professionals with a new kind of intelligence that can unlock hidden data patterns that are impossible for the human mind or eye to absorb.
The discipline of machine vision encompasses imaging technologies and methods to perform automatic inspection and analysis in various applications, such as verification, measurement, and process control.
Lenses play a crucial role in the quality of the images produced by a machine vision system since they determine the sharpness of the image on the camera sensor. Lenses can influence image quality in a variety of ways.
While machine vision applications have been highly successful for decades using "analytical" vision tools, deep learning is able to successfully solve very complex classification and object detection problems with ease.
Product packaging - in an extremely broad range of markets from food to pharma - frequently incorporates an extremely important sealing technology called “tamper evident” seals.
