Machine vision is a crucial component in any industrial automation system. It is essentially the “eyes” of the machine that use digital cameras to detect objects and an image processing system to make sense of the information. Machine vision can be used to correct defects in production lines, track food supplies, and perform other important tasks.
Here’s how you can use machine vision to improve your company’s operations. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to call Paramount Tool Company. We’d be more than happy to help!
Applications of Machine Vision
Machine vision can be used for many different types of applications. This means that if you haven’t already invested in machine vision, you can bet your competitors already have.
The good news is that it’s never too late to integrate machine vision capabilities with your existing automation system. Just like it’s never too late to improve productivity, safety, quality, tracking, and profits.
A vision inspection system can:
- Catch defects in your production line
- Control and manage your inventory
- Track products and ensure traceability
- Measure and calibrate
- Improve safety, especially for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries
Catch Defects in Your Production Line
Despite your best intentions, you may end up with product defects from time to time. That’s why we often recommend that companies adopt vision inspection systems. Machine vision makes it much easier to spot any errors in your production line that are causing defects.
Control and Manage Your Inventory
It’s important that you know your inventory inside and out. To do this, we highly recommend that you invest in a vision inspection system for your facility. Machine vision can read product labels and barcodes. Not only does this help you manage your inventory more efficiently, but it also helps with picking and placing items throughout the manufacturing process.
Track Products and Ensure Traceability
Machine vision makes it much easier to track product serial numbers, expiration dates, and other important information. This is essential if you work in an industry that’s heavily regulated, such as pharmaceuticals. Machine vision will also give you the ability to protect your customers in a way that’s efficient and offers a higher degree of certainty.
Improve Safety
Improving the safety of your facility is important regardless of your industry. But we may especially recommend a vision inspection system if you work in the food, beverage, or pharmaceutical industries. This is because the safety standards for these industries are very stringent in order to protect consumers to the fullest extent.
