Good news: Cognex In-Sight vision system offers powerful new Industry 4.0 capabilities

  Machine vision smart cameras are generally composed of image acquisition units, image processing units, image processing software, network communication devices, etc.

Smart camera technology advantages:

1. The smart camera has a compact structure and small size, is easy to install on production lines and various equipment, and is easy to load, unload, and move;

2. The camera achieves a high degree of integration of image acquisition unit, image processing unit, image processing software, and network communication device. Through reliability design, higher efficiency and stability can be achieved;

3. Since the smart camera has solidified mature machine vision algorithms, users can realize presence/absence judgment, surface/defect inspection, dimensional measurement, OCR/OCV, barcode reading and other functions without programming, thus greatly improving the Application system development speed.

Industry 4.0 cannot be separated from intelligent manufacturing, and intelligent manufacturing cannot be separated from machine vision. Machine vision is one of the important means to achieve industrial automation and intelligence, which is equivalent to the extension of human vision on machines. In the future, machine vision will develop towards the following points:

First, intelligent recognition: Massive information quickly converges to find key features from a large amount of information. Accuracy and reliability are the keys;

Second, intelligent measurement: Measurement is the foundation of industry and requires accuracy;

Third, intelligent detection: on the basis of measurement, comprehensive analysis and judgment of multiple information and multiple indicators. The key point is intelligent judgment based on complex logic;

Fourth, intelligent interconnection: Massive data of images are collected and interconnected at multiple nodes. At the same time, data on personnel, equipment, production materials, environment, processes, etc. are interconnected to derive innovative capabilities such as deep learning, intelligent optimization, and intelligent prediction, truly demonstrating Unleash the power of Industry 4.0.
