Manufacturing has long been crucial to innovation; however, a new technological revolution, driven by artificial intelligence and data solutions, is reshaping the industry.
Companies are turning to robotic automation for surface finishing tasks like sanding and polishing due to labor shortages. Advancements in AI enable robots to self-program and perform complex operations autonomously.
By “intelligent evolution,” I’m not talking about the simple adoption of automation and forms of machine learning, sort of a set-it-and-forget-it approach.
Manufacturing has evolved significantly with intelligent machines like robotics and automation working with humans. AI and predictive analytics help reduce equipment failures and optimize systems in real time, marking a major shift in traditional manufacturing practices toward a smarter future.
Xiris Automation announced the release of its NIR (Near Infrared) Weld Camera System with a remarkable 140+ dB High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging capability with advanced NIR illumination that can be synchronized to the camera.
We define machine learning and explain how it works within machine vision, with a focus on where machine learning can be effectively applied to enhance inspection reliability and capability.
When you buy a cobot, you may have just one application in mind, but leading cobots are platforms for almost any number of quality applications - and not just quality applications.
I've noticed that operators and inspection workers often realize upon first meeting collaborative robots (cobots) that they aren't replacements for human labor. Instead, cobots signal a shift from traditional automation in quality and inspection, providing distinct advantages over traditional robots.
Instron® announced the release of the AVE3, an advanced non-contacting video extensometer that delivers precise strain measurement with unparalleled, micron-level accuracy for tensile, compression, and bend testing.
On May 20, 2025, CADENAS is now part of the KEYENCE Group, an international developer and manufacturer of industrial automation and inspection equipment.
