Omron's Machine Vision Technology Wins Innovators Award
Vision Systems Design, a leading news source on machine vision and image processing, is honoring Omron Automation as a recipient of its 2018 Innovators Award. The globally recognized innovator in industrial automation technology recently expanded its machine vision portfolio to include powerful smart camera technology.
HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL., April 16, 2018 - Omron Automation, a trusted partner and globally recognized leader in providing innovative technological solutions for todays manufacturing challenges, recently received an award for its groundbreaking machine vision technology. Vision Systems Design, a news source favored by professionals in machine vision and image processing, has named Omron as one of its 2018 Innovators Award honorees.
Omrons machine vision product portfolio addresses specific challenges for the factory of the future. The MicroHAWK MV family puts advanced machine vision capability into extremely compact and embedded devices that help manufacturers make the best possible use of space. Taking vision power to a whole new level, the one-of-a-kind HAWK MV-4000 puts near-PC processing speeds into a single smart camera.
These technologies complement Omrons existing machine vision systems which include the popular FH Series. This best-in-class vision system is known for its unique combination of high-speed inspection, high-precision measurement and minimal programming requirements.
The MicroHAWK readers and the HAWK MV-4000 are innovations that build upon Omron Microscan technologies. Omrons 2017 acquisition of Microscan Systems, Inc., brought a wealth of vision and barcode reading expertise into its portfolio, and the company is ready to take the lead in comprehensive, vision-based solutions for industrial automation.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
