Specialties

We design, manufacture and test our custom systems and prototypes on our own premises. Our engineering service oversees project management from design to completion. We can help you to:
  • Analyze the feasibility of your automation project
  • Determine the return on investment (in how many months the project will have paid for itself)
  • Compare your needs with other industries or similar applications
  • Develop an integration plan for the new automated equipment

After having analyzed your needs and having proposed superior solutions, our team of technicians and engineers develop IT, electrical or mechanical plans (with or without animation, according to your needs).

Our experienced programmers design the appropriate applications for the systems developed. Our qualified personnel assemble systems that are tested and approved by our clients before shipping. All the steps of project development as well as manufacture are done according to the standards.

Further, Solution GRB possesses the abilities and knowhow necessary to secure existing equipment, whether in the field of robotics or industrial machinery.

Computer Vision

Computer Vision

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:

  • 2D vision
  • 3D vision
  • Thermal vision
  • X-ray vision
  • Color vision

Software and Operator Interfaces
