Machine vision for Industry 5.0

Our machine vision systems ensure the quality of every single manufactured item that comes off industrial production lines, and this to date is an increasingly essential factor in meeting challenges in domestic and international markets.

Machine vision benefits manufacturing industries in every sector, from food to automotive, electronics to pharmaceuticals, mechatronics to consumer goods, ensuring that quality requirements are exceeded.

Whether it’s going to check product quality or packaging integrity, verify variable data or capture essential information at every stage of the manufacturing process, machine vision is a key resource for Industry 5.0.

This high level of performance is also due to Primeconcept’s use of Deep Learning technology that guarantees the result: algorithms such as geometric pattern search and edge detection remain the best way to provide sub-pixel accuracy, which is ideal for robot guidance and precision measurements.

Using Deep Learning, errors in inspection processes are drastically reduced because the system learns by itself and refines itself by collecting and inputting new defect data. With self-trained systems, customers save in effort, time and money: in fact, classes of defects are identified through reference images alone; tedious programming is no longer required to identify them.

Seeing or reading and selecting products that come out of the production cycle with color variations on a plastic object, irregularities in the texture of a fabric, burns or cracks in a cookie is a common action for countless products of all kinds that, day in and day out are subjected to aesthetic inspections by dedicated personnel. Sometimes the defect sought is not just a purely aesthetic anomaly, but a variation that compromises the physical properties of the object itself.

These defects are sometimes difficult to recognize through a formal description because their appearance may be different, and any rule created to intercept other anomalies may promote the risk of recognizing other details that are not, however, anomalies.

Primeconcept‘s machine vision systems overcome these risks, ensuring identification of “defective” products and enabling the manufacturing company to modernize its quality standard to improve its competitiveness in the market.

Primeconcept is able to develop customized advanced applications or, in certain cases, to propose a special solution such as PrimeCoMate, the machine vision system for quality control of what takes place directly on the production line, which can replace human labor, taking the effectiveness and performance of supervision to new levels.
