Challenging economic conditions and tough competition make production errors and waste unacceptable. Machine vision technology can help to reduce manufacturing costs and optimize processes.
Minimize scarp and reword: By networking vision systems throughout production to catch defects at the source and potentially prevent errors altogether, manufacturers can minimize scrap and costly rework.
Process control and supply chain management: If profit margins are narrow, reduced manufacturing and supply chain costs often be the difference between profit and loss.
Scalability, low cost, and easy deployment enable manufacturers to incorporate machine vision systems as part of the production process itself in order to catch and correct assembly errors before scrap is made, or reject flawed parts before adding value by further processing.
