The industrial automation technology industry related to machine vision is driving more changes in manufacturing. Machine vision is applicable to all industries, but it is particularly important in high-specification, high-regulation industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing. Companies are turning to factory automation technology for a number of reasons. The difficulty of hiring workers forces companies to automate their production lines and replace human labor with machines, including improving production line efficiency, more efficient use of resources and increasing productivity. According to speculation, it is expected that with the advancement of industry 4.0, the demand for machine vision related technology in various fields will continue to deepen and grow. Machine vision inspection industry will usher in a wave of dividends.

Industrial automation is pushing factory production lines to become smarter and can replace human labor and reduce labor. Machine vision for quality control inspection has been widely used, but with the advent of integrated solutions for 3D sensors and robotic hand pickup, new markets are opening up. Regardless of the position and orientation of the parts, the robotic pickup system can grasp objects randomly. 3D vision systems can identify a large number of randomly placed parts, such as suitcases and parts boxes. Due to the dynamic processing of the robot, complex objects can be selected in different orientations and stacks. Combining artificial intelligence (AI) with pickup operations enables autonomous part selection, increases productivity and cycle time, and reduces the need for human-computer interaction during the process.

Here to introduce the advantages of machine vision

1. machine vision is a comprehensive technology, including digital image processing technology, mechanical engineering technology, control technology, electric light source lighting technology, optical imaging technology, sensor technology, analog and digital video technology, computer hardware technology, man-machine interface technology, etc. These technologies in machine vision Chinese parallel relationship, coordinated application of each other to constitute a successful industrial machine vision application system.

2. machine vision more emphasis on practicality, requires to be able to adapt to the harsh environment in industrial production, to have a reasonable cost performance, to have a general industrial interface, can be operated by ordinary work, has high fault tolerance and safety, will not destroy industrial products, must have strong versatility and portability.

3. For machine vision technicians, they should not only have the professional ability to study mathematical theory and compile computer software, but also need the comprehensive ability to integrate light, machine and electricity.

4. machine vision more emphasis on real-time, high speed and high precision, so computer vision and digital image processing in many technologies are still difficult to apply to machine vision, their development rate far exceeds its actual application speed in industrial production.
