Powerful, freely programmable smart cameras with NVIDIA Jetson modules. Baumer presents the AX smart cameras, its first industrial-grade smart cameras that combine the market-leading NVIDIA Jetson modules with powerful Sony CMOS sensors to create a compact, flexible, and freely programmable image processing platform for AI‑applications.

Compact 29×29 mm industrial cameras with Sony Pregius S sensors up to 24 MP. Baumer is expanding its CX series with the 4th Sony CMOS sensor generation Pregius S with up to 24 megapixel resolution. Thanks to a pixel size of mere 2.74 µm and backside illumination pixel architecture, the camera has a very compact design (29 × 29 mm) and offers very high resolutions with excellent image quality and improved sensitivity for stable image evaluations.

Spectra PowerBox 5000: Scalable high-end GPU computing system. Modern processes in industrial AI and machine vision are closely linked to image processing. This requires industrial PC systems with CPU and GPU performance large enough to process the tasks in real time.

Wearables from ProGlove make humans a driving force of Industry 4.0 and digital transformation. The Digital Twin is a digitized model that maps the physical characteristics of a production environment as well as the processes. But this mapping has its limitations, as it only includes data from machines and not from humans. At the same time, human employees will continue to play an important role in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, also known as Industry 4.0. The challenge lies in combining the...

Hamamatsu Photonics provides InGaAs solutions covering the visible (VIS), near infrared (NIR), and short wavelength infrared (SWIR) regions. Our solutions fulfill different applications including spectrometers for spectrometry, scientific cameras for microscopy, and machine vision for industrial imaging. Also, we provide driver modules and evaluation boards to decrease your design time. Customizations are available for specific applications and requirements.

Touchless and thus hygienic operation of machines and measuring equipment to ensure social distance as well as the control of autonomous robots requires powerful sensors. The 3D ToF sensor from Hamamatsu measures the distance to an object using the indirect ToF method (Time of Flight).

The ProGlove smart glove scanner has been in use for a number of years at TTI Europe, based in Maisach near Munich. Since deploying the ProGlove barcode scanners, the electronics distributor has unlocked multiple productivity efficiencies through its ergonomic handling, reliability and robust industrial design. Overall, the time saved due to the introduction of streamlined barcode scanning exceeds ten hours per day.

Automation processes in the industrial sector are becoming faster, more efficient, and more intelligent with the development of new technologies. But the things which add value to companies in this industry often present challenges for the internal employees who need to oversee, monitor, manage, develop, or repair these automated and fully optimized processes. With Augmented Reality (AR), workers can be effectively supported along the entire value chain to ensure the best possible human-machine...

Industry 4.0 – the smart, adaptive factory with short retooling times and decentralized control – aims to generate the most comprehensive data possible within a highly automated process in real-time and provide the most varied instances possible. This status information in the form of process data for control and monitoring of sequences and product data for traceability and quality verification form an objective basis for making decisions in order to take early measures for process optimization.

With embedded technology and a particularly large field of view, a new 3D sensor from ISRA VISION offers short scanning times and fast data availability, making it ideal for use directly on the production line.

Cognex VisionPro ViDi enables deep learning-based machine vision for automatic identification, inspection and classification.

It started with a blank. But how does the workpiece get onto the line or into the machine? Depending on the state it is delivered in, this task can quickly become very complex. Reliable 3D object detection systems optically capture and evaluate data. Liebherr works with a variety of 3D vision systems to match the requirements and smoothly handles the supply of every haphazardly stored part with process precision.

The verification of barcodes helps ensuring the readability of the barcode throughout the complete supply chain. Barcode verification is the process of grading the quality of barcodes. A barcode verifier assigns an overall grade to a code based on measurements of several quality parameters. Depending on the code type they apply different national and international standards.
