The Vision show returned last week in Stuttgart, Germany as part of its new two-year cycle. Greg Blackman reports from the trade fair, where embedded vision was a key topic of discussion
Automatic inspection by machine vision is leading to the dawn of the “smart factory”, eliminating errors resulting from manual operations, as well as improving quality consistency, increasing productivity, reducing production costs, and enhancing customer satisfaction. The result can be a distinct competitive advantage. Faced with limited floor space and budgeting for installation, operators are showing increased interest in small, compact, integrated, easily installed vision systems. Annual sales for such systems have grown at 30% in recent years.
