Mechanical Inspection Imaging Improves Processes
When you want to maximize the potential of mechanical inspection, consider the vast capabilities of thermal imaging. Thermal imaging is a cutting-edge technology that can help you see things otherwise hidden from view. That makes it an ideal and dependable tool for many applications, including [...]
Invisible Barcodes For Retailers And Manufacturers
Barcodes and barcode scanning has come a long way over the last few decades and has mainly focused on making them easier to read. To that end, there has been development and an identified need within a range of industries to create “invisible” barcodes. These invisible barcodes are created by [...]
Machine Vision In The Food And Beverage Industry
Food and beverage safety depends on flawless quality control, yet modern production lines move too quickly and handle too much variety for human inspectors to keep up. A single mislabeled package, underfilled bottle, or compromised seal can trigger costly recalls, regulatory penalties, and serious risks to consumer health. Machine vision technology addresses these challenges by combining high-resolution cameras, advanced optics, and intelligent software.
Four Types of Barcode Scanners
Barcode scanners are extremely simple devices that can read and output printed barcodes to a computer. Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens and a light sensor translating optical impulses into electrical ones. Additionally, nearly all barcode readers contain decoder circuitry analyzing the bar code’s image data provided by the sensor [...]
Infrared Lenses Aid In Scans
Just because a mystery is 4500 years old doesn’t mean it can’t be solved...” This could be the motto of the exceptional scientific mission launched October 25, 2015, under the authority of the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, initiated, designed and coordinated by the Faculty of Engineering of Cairo and [...]
Production Fault-Finding using Hi-Speed Imaging Systems
As the automated manufacturing environment continues to evolve, the ability to analyze high-speed processes in order to increase quality and efficiency, along with the ability to identify and resolve immediate manufacturing line problems is essential. Factory floor personnel are required to accurately and quickly analyze and adjust complex electro-mechanical [...]
