Working with camera and vision technologies is becoming more popular every year across many industries - and the pace of innovation has never been faster, experts say.
Cameras are the eyes of visual quality inspection systems. Cameras and machine vision technologies help to improve quality by automating processes, making them more precise and repeatable, while also boosting their speed and throughput.
Although the CMM has been around for more than half a century, advancements have allowed it to maintain its position as the go-to technology for quality inspection.
Unlike manually operated gages or portable measurement devices, coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) can automate the measurement process and therefore remove quality inspection bottlenecks. Listen to the podcast with David Wick, manager of product management at ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions
Digital gaging, involving the software and hardware used to capture and process digital measurements, has grown dramatically in the past two decades. It has also made quality more efficient and effective.
Before we address today’s testing trends, let’s look at the impact of the pandemic. The pandemic also created conditions that stressed manufacturers and caused major shifts in the way consumers purchase products, experts say.
A Growing Number of Manufacturers are Using Deep Learning Tools, a Subset of Artificial Intelligence, to Reduce Waste and Improve production. But, Experts Say, Some of it is Just Hype.
An increasing number of manufacturers are turning to deep learning, a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), to assist in image analysis processing, experts say.
As additive manufacturing (AM) applications are more widely adopted, processes and material specifications, testing and inspection requirements are all gaining importance.
Collaborative robots helped manufacturers keep production lines running during the pandemic. They're accessible to small- and medium- sized businesses. And their simplicity just may help to shrink the skills gap.
Collaborative robots, or cobots, help humans and robots work together safely. Small, medium and large companies are increasingly choosing these human-friendly versions over traditional industrial robots, which are complex to use and are typically relegated to safety cages.
Predictive tools, standardized data, and self-learning production systems can go a long way in helping manufacturers save energy and minimize their environmental footprints.
As energy becomes more expensive and sustainability more prized, manufacturers are under the gun to reduce energy consumption. Process monitoring, which standardizes and optimizes manufacturing processes— helps to make this possible in the age of Industry 4.0.
