Producing defective products is not an option for global manufacturers. By deploying machine vision with the aim of defect elimination right down the production line, customers have been able to reduce scrap, reduce capital costs and increase customer satisfaction by minimizing product recalls. All factors having a positive impact on their bottom line.

Verify Assembly
Any manufacturer who has been obliged to start from scratch on a production line just because one product was faulty or one small part had not been properly inspected, knows the value of vision systems in the assembly process. By using vision, defects can be detected before more value is added to a part, and costly errors can be avoided meaning very tangible cost efficiencies.

Automate Production
Enabling production with vision guided robotics solutions and replacing costly inflexible mechanical procedures with vision technology leads to a more flexible and cost-efficient production. Bottlenecks can be reduced, robots with “eyes” increase accuracy and capital expenses are reduced thus bringing tangible cost savings in very short time.

Track Parts
For industries such as retail and pharmaceutical, it is imperative that products have complete life cycle traceability. Aerospace and automotive sectors have turned to “mark & read” solutions for engine parts in order to ensure complete traceability with the aim of eliminating potentially costly product recalls. It is also vital to make sure the right part is assembled for the right product. Achieving compliant production not only improves overall productivity and reduces operating costs, but it also enhances the chance of contract renegotiation and avoids costly and possible reputation-damaging product recalls.
