Machine #Vision is a hot topic in industrial automation. Since years, the advances in #camera technology continuously lead to new applications for imaging in automation. Cameras are used for 1️⃣ Quality Assurance / Inspection 2️⃣ Traceability and identification through optical code reading (1D and 2D codes - Barcodes, data matrix codes…) 3️⃣ Metrology 4️⃣ and more - examples are highly appreciated in the comments✍️⌨️. These applications combined with #AI, multi spectral, #SWIR, UV, radar and all the exciting technologies that come along, make it also a hot spot for innovation. Examples: 🅰️ Radar imaging that makes “hidden objects” visible 👉👉 https://lnkd.in/e49Uvbs8 🅱️ SWIR and UV 👉👉 https://lnkd.in/eDAPzYVT I would say, this makes “Vision” a topic to look at. A great opportunity is the upcoming Vision #exhibition in Stuttgart (🗓️ October 8-10, 2024). 👉👉 https://lnkd.in/ef7i3PGP (hall 8, booth 30C) #Balluff #machinevision #innovation

It is no secret that machine vision plays a key role in the #automation of the future🔮. Of course, it is and will be even more enhanced by #AI. Yet there are still potentials in the technology itself🤯, such as increasing the range of the electromagnetic spectrum to wavelengths that are not visible to the human eye: Ultraviolet (#UV) and short wave infrared (#SWIR) open up new possibilities in automation. - UV light (invisible): 10nm to 400nm - Visible light: 400nm (violet) to 700nm (red) - SWIR (invisible): 1400 nm to 3000 nm. Sounds a little bit nerdy 🤓? So here are some pretty cool applications that can be solved by expanding the spectrum: ✔️ UV cameras can be used to check for defects in the #semiconductor sector or to detect different transparent materials. ✔️ SWIR cameras can be used to inspect fruits and vegetables for bruising or disease, to check the content of opaque containers, or to reveal contaminants in food products, among other tasks. #balluff #innovation #camera #vision #machinevision

🌌 Become the leader in your industry A disruptive transformation is on-going: we have access to high quality data and real-time analysis of millions of points making it possible to understand what sensors are seeing similar to how humans perceive the world. 💜 🌌 Automate operations that were not possible before The digital precise spatial awareness of the environment allows monitoring everything moving at the centimeter level across large areas, which can be used to control machines or stop a machine if a person unexpectedly appears. 🌌Virtual worlds with real impact 3D sensors create a digital 3D representation of the surroundings in real-time making it possible to react to changes such as shapes, movements, or a series of scenarios. Flasheye's 3D building blocks contribute to autonomy and automation, relevant in ALL industries! Explore the 3D building blocks: https://lnkd.in/dVhhvVBz

MOBILE 3D MEASUREMENT ON FOUR LEGS PRESENTED AT CONTROL 2024 With the handheld scanner goSCOUT3D, Fraunhofer IOF researchers have developed a mobile sensor that enables high-resolution 3D measurements of complex objects. To further automate this process, researchers have now connected the scanner to a #robot dog of the Boston Dynamics brand. Doing so is supposed to make measurements, e.g., in #qualityassurance, even more efficient as well as unburden employees in future. “Integrating the sensor head, which was recently developed in Jena, with Spot, will #automate the measuring process of the goSCOUT3D scanner in future and eliminate the need for constant human supervision”, explains Dr. Andreas Breitbarth, head of Image Processing and Artificial Intelligence at our institute. “The robot dog can autonomously maneuver goSCOUT3D through measuring scenarios at consistent measuring speed and distance”. Press release “Mobile 3D measurement on four legs”:  https://lnkd.in/evHQvdMK The unit consisting of sensor head and robot will now be presented for the first time at the Control Messe trade fair in Stuttgart from April 23-26. Here, Fraunhofer IOF will exhibit at booth 8201 in hall 8.

Digital twins are virtual copies of real objects or processes. Here's how they work: Take a robotic arm. Its digital twin is a 3D model that matches the real robot. The real robot has sensors measuring joint positions, speed and more. This data goes to the digital twin, keeping it up-to-date. Sensors feed data to the twin, which updates to match reality. Digital twins make physical things easier to change and test. We can run simulations, replay past events, or train operators virtually. But there are limits. Real things are complex and hard to model perfectly. Data quality is essential. If data is poor, the twin and reality drift apart. Better sensors and computers could improve accuracy. Still, some differences between real and virtual will always exist. ---- Sign up to my newsletter: https://bit.ly/4aQFHxJ
