3-D multiscanning, ease of use and connectivity, and lower costs are driving the growth of smart cameras and vision sensors in factory automation.

Anders Murhed and Mats Gökstorp, Sick IVP

In factory automation, the constant need for productivity and quality improvement is generating a strong demand for sensor solutions based on smart cameras and vision sensors. In choosing a vision system, the foremost consideration is ease of integration into the production line. New systems are adapting more and more to industrial standards for programmable logic controller communications field buses. Open connectivity software standards are helping to integrate the camera system into the supervising systems and operator panels. Also important is ensuring that a vision system is robust...Read full article
