Product packaging - in an extremely broad range of markets from food to pharma - frequently incorporates an extremely important sealing technology called “tamper evident” seals. 

According to the latest statistics from the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), the first six months of 2021 saw an 18 percent increase to $1.5 billion over the same period in 2020, which is the best start to a year on record. And those numbers aren’t expected to decline. Why the increase?

Much of the latest news surrounding machine vision is about machine learning and the innovations regarding algorithms. But those algorithms need data to perform correctly. The data in this case is the images. It is imperative to capture the best image possible so that the algorithms can perform at their highest level.

Olympus’ high-quality optics help eliminate many outliers before they occur. The quality of the resulting measurement is evident in multiscale analysis down to the finest scales.

Radiographic inspection is a critical practice across multiple industries, and the development of non-film radiography provides enormous, yet currently untapped, potential to share these images widely and maximize resources.

Frame grabbers are essential components in machine vision systems that provide ultra high-speed, high-data image capture from one camera or multiple cameras simultaneously. 

The EyeVision 3D software supports the new ZIVID One+. The 3D color camera generates point clouds with shape-by-shade 3D technology. With the EyeVision 3D software point clouds can be evaluated. 

LUCID Vision Labs Inc. announced the series production of its new Helios™ Flex 3D Time-of-Flight module. Helios Flex is a robust, pre-calibrated Time-of-Flight MIPI module which can easily be integrated into embedded platforms for industrial and robotics applications. 

The automotive industry depends on consistency and predictability. From the color of the paint to the stiffness of the brake, car manufacturers devote significant amounts of time and money into making sure their products look immaculate and feel safe to drive.

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging applications are used in many different industries ranging from both industrial pick and place, palletization/depalletization, warehouse, robotics and metrology applications to consumer-based products such as drones, safety and security, and patient monitoring applications.
