Industrial vision technology allows machines to see just as we do. But they don’t do it with eyes — they do it with cameras and a special set of computer programs that help them make sense of what they see. There’s a myriad of applications for this technology—factory floors, hospitals, even in our favorite video games!
What is automation? Automation is the process whereby you make a machine do something, or continue to do something, without your having to control or maintain it. Industrial vision enables machines to see and interpret their environment. This allows them to move faster and with more precision, and even to protect us by identifying dangers.
Quality control matters as it ensures that products are made properly. Industrial vision systems can assist in inspecting a wide range of products fast. They catch errors that we humans might miss, and they ensure that everything we buy is just right.
Schreiber explained machine learning as teaching a computer how to think and learn on its own. At the heart of this is the technology of industrial vision, which explains to computers what is in a photo or video. Machines, by using what they see, can recognize, decide, and even teach us new things!
Technology never stands still, and industrial vision is no different. Machines get smarter all the time with new developments. What incredible things we’ll probably see next with industrial vision technology… who knows!
