Computer vision can be as easily integrated to an automated machine as to an industrial robot. Its main feature is that it allows the equipment to understand what it sees. Specifically, it allows the machine to:
Determine the presence/absence of a part
Identify and separate defective or irregular products
Read bar codes, so it can direct the product to its appropriate destination
Steer itself when displacement is needed (mostly for robotics)
Many types of computer vision can be integrated to your equipment in order to respond to your needs in the best possible way:
