Visionary developments for the 21st century

A new vision for the 21st century is being embraced by manufacturing industry through machine vision systems. Today's vision technology is increasingly moving towards completely digital systems making vision highly affordable and easy to apply by the end user. Typically consisting of video cameras linked to computers, vision systems automatically and nondestructively inspect, identify and guide without human intervention significantly improving quality control procedures. With the advancements in color and state-of-the-art systems, the breadth of applications is extremely diverse, ranging from the simple inspection of defects to the more complex inspection of part processed or completed products, across industries.
