Utilizing a machine vision system for factory automation can bring many benefits, but implementing the system is not a casual task. DALSA highlights the steps necessary to find the right system for your particular application.

Many key tasks in the manufacture of products, including inspection, orientation, identification, and assembly, require the use of visual techniques. Human vision and response, however, can be slow and tend to be error-prone either due to boredom or fatigue. Replacing human inspection with machine vision can go far in automating factory operation, but implementers need to carefully match machine vision options with application requirements.
