The Evolution of Additive Manufacturing: How Automation Redefines Post-Processing Standards
In 2024, post processing metal parts is still a bottleneck in the AM process chain because it is still very often a manual, labor-intensive, messy (filthy, actually) and sometimes risky task.
The secret lives of manufacturing defects - How defects pass through the system undetected
Here Zohar Kantor, chief revenue officer at quality inspection pioneer QualiSense, traces how defects enter the manufacturing process and avoid detection.
Why Automated Optical Inspection Is a Winner in PCB Quality Control
Excelling in PCB quality control is a meaningful way to maintain competitiveness despite these conditions. Many decision-makers have increasingly invested in automated optical inspection (AOI) at their facilities. This approach leads to numerous benefits.
Why training with few good images is fake news
As recently as five years ago, the only way to teach a machine vision system what a good product looked like was to laboriously show it every possible fault, mark and annotate the errors and catalogue them.
Enhancing Safety Standards in Manufacturing Environments with Vision AI
This piece delves into Vision AI's pivotal role in reshaping safety paradigms in manufacturing. But before we dive in, let's first decode the workings of Vision AI.
Augmented Intelligence in Machine Vision - is Furthering Human Intelligence More Effective Than Replacing It?
Augmented intelligence is similar to artificial intelligence in that it uses machine learning algorithms to enhance defect detection. However, instead of aiming to replace human intelligence, augmented intelligence aims to build upon it.
Understanding the Role of Machine Vision in Industry 4.0
Today it is being applied to diverse areas such as monitoring processes for predictive maintenance, and robotic guidance that makes it possible for robots to safely work with and respond to human interactions.
Using Infrared to Ensure Package Seal Integrity
Using infrared inspection as part of a quality control program allows for inspecting all package seals in the production line. Companies can ensure package seal integrity, promote product quality, and elevate customer satisfaction by implementing package line inspection.
Why the conventional deep learning model is broken
The conventional deep learning model is a supervised model. It takes months of time to develop and train the model before it is ready for the production line.
Do quality managers really want fully autonomous visual inspection?
Autonomous quality inspection solutions that are premised on the idea that the human user might make a mistake promise the highest level of automation. However, surely it is better to utilise the user.
RealWear Launches World's First Hands-Free, Voice-Controlled Thermal Camera
Is the only device that supports MSX® technology to enable frontline industrial professionals to conduct inspections, enhance remote support sessions and avoid equipment downtime using simple voice commands
Learn How To Protect Your Business with AI for Visual Inspection - Pleora Webinar Live April 6, 2022
This webinar will discuss how two manufacturers - a distillery and an electronics assembly operation - are using camera-based visual inspection to protect their brand and make manual processes repeatable, consistent, and traceable.
Robot Solution for Automating the Lettuce Harvest
The lettuce's outer, or 'wrapper', leaves will be mechanically removed to expose the stem. Machine vision and artificial intelligence are then used to identify a precise cut point on the stem to neatly separate the head of lettuce.
Sharpening Alignment for More Accurate and Faster Machining
Matrox Imaging's robust vision software and smart camera endows CNC machine to ensure precision cuts, enhance yield rates
AI for End-to-End Quality
Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining favor as a solution for quality problems, but many manufacturers struggle with the perceived cost and complexity of implementing new technology.
