Human vision has played a substantial role in the process of manufacturing products, doing what machines could not do: locating, positioning, tracking and inspecting parts for quality. In some cases today the requirements of many manufacturing processes have surpassed the expected performance limits of human eyesight either because they are produced too quickly or because the tolerances are too small to be analysed by the human eye.
Human vision is dependant on physical factors and how tired the operator might be. It cannot be considered to be 100 % effective 100 % of the time.
In response to this "machine vision" emerged. Vision systems extract information from images and generate decisions about those images, such as where the object is, if it is of the right quality, if the lot number and expiry date matches with the preset and if its dimensions are correct.
Engineria Ltd. has recently signed an agreement with Cognex Corporation to be an Automation Solution Provider (ASP) for Cognex vision systems.
Through this agreement Engineria is able to provide engineering expertise and experience together with the best vision systems hardware available. Solutions can be trialled and tested locally prior to installation.
Cognex Corporation is the world's leading supplier of machine vision systems and provides the broadest range of products in the vision industry, enabling customers to meet all of their machine vision requirements. Different levels of cameras are available for use depending on the particular application. Engineria also organises in-house workshops for its customers where initial trials on products can be performed.
