DECEMBER 20196 MANUFACTURINGTECHNOLOGYINSIGHTSCurrently, the factory floor is home to unparalleled levels of developments in artificial intelligence (AI), big data, 3D imaging, and robotic process automation. Among these technologies, machine vision is growing into a sizeable global industry. By 2023, the global market is expected to reach $12.29 billion with a CAGR of 7.61 percent. Factories are replacing the traditional workforce with industrial automation tools in many areas. Machine vision is therefore coming in handy for performing the final quality control inspection without relying on human intervention. Moreover, with the advent of 3D sensors and integrated solutions for bin picking, 3D vision systems can recognize randomly placed parts in large scanning volumes. And with dynamic robot handling, the picking of complex objects in different orientations is made possible.According to the International Federation of Robotics, industrial robot sales have increased by 31 percent. This surge is primarily due to various trends such as collaborative robots, and the simplification of use and process learning. The future promises to bring about industrial robots that will be easier and quicker to program using intuitive interfaces. Alongside, thermal imaging cameras combined with machine vision systems have been a growing area that allows manufacturers to detect problems that cannot be identified by standard tools. Thermal imaging is critical for many industrial applications in the automotive and electronic industry.In the wake of these trends that are shaping up the manufacturing tech space, we have compiled stories of some of the most outstanding machine vision solution providers and services companies to discover the recent innovations flourishing the market. We believe that these companies can help elevate the status of manufacturing companies through their uniqueness.Let us know your thoughts!Supporting Smart Factories across IndustriesEditorialCopyright © 2019 ValleyMedia, Inc.
