In recent years automated computer based inspection or machine vision as it is known has been applied to a number of manufacturing challenges, all with the goal of improving quality and productivity in the manufacturing process. Semiconductor and electronics manufacturers were quick to take up the technology. Applications are now growing quickly throughout the manufacturing sector, with machine vision systems being utilised in textiles, packaging, paper, plastics, metal fabrication and many other industries.
Harsh environments have proved to be no barrier with equipment installed alongside fibreglass curing ovens, laminating lines, lithographic plate facilities and in textile manufacturing facilities, continuously performing a broad range of tedious inspection tasks with repeatability far and above that of a human operative.
In today's tough markets reducing scrap and increasing the speed of set up and through put is The patent technology we have developed can be applied to many inspection requirements across all sectors.
