Vision arrives at Manufacturing Week
Reviews vision systems exhibited at the Manufacturing Week Exhibition held in the NEC, Birmingham. Highlights systems that exemplify the trend towards standardized off-the-shelf units, and the increasing use of PC-based hardware and software running in Microsoft Windows. Grey-scale image processing is becoming more widespread and replacing binary blob analysis techniques. This makes the systems more resilient to ambient conditions and increases the hardiness for industrial application. Gives examples of some of the applications of these systems.
