Today, technology is central to how things are made and done. One neat technology is something called computer vision. Computer vision is like enabling computers to see, the way in which human beings view. This is useful in a lot of contexts, particularly when being careful in one’s fabrication.
One way computer vision is altering the nature of making things is by assisting in factories. It’s like a big factory, where lots of things are being made, all the time. Machines can ‘‘see’’ what they are making and make sure everything is perfect. This way, products are manufactured well and look the way they are supposed to.
One other important task of computer vision is watching over factories. Think of a big building where lots of important things occur. With computer vision, cameras can look out for everything. This serves to ensure that everything is functioning well and that there are no kinks.
Computer vision can also be used to ensure that work in a factory is performed in the optimal way. Machines can watch how things are made with cameras and suggest ways to do them better and faster. That way, you ensure that work is done in the most straightforward way possible.
Quality assurance is ensuring that what is being made is of good quality. Cameras allow machines to inspect the quality of products as they are being made. That’s a way to help ensure that products are good and that customers are happy with what they get. Making quality easier to check and more accurate, and in general reducing the stigma of defects, can make for a happier world for everybody.
Finally, computer vision can be applied to extract insights from data collected at factories. With the help of cameras, machines can gather a lot of data about how things are made. This data can be analyzed for "patterns" that enable better decision making. This is what enables everything to run smoothly and fixes problems quickly.
