Machine Vision for Factory Automation

Stating the benefits of using machine vision systems in factory automation, this paper provides guidelines that help factory automation implementers to select a cost-effective machine vision system based on application requirements. It lists the various requirements that need to be defined before selecting a machine vision system for factory automation, and details the fundamental attributes and behaviors of a machine vision system that need to be considered, including a diagram illustrating the essential elements of an inspection system. Parameters to be evaluated for selecting the machine vision software are detailed, emphasizing on the need to select the right third party system integrator for ensuring efficient integration of a vision system into factory automation. The paper also focuses on the importance of choosing the right camera and sensor technology to suit specific application requirements.
