The emergence of the smart factory and Industry 4.0 has prompted the integration of automation and machine vision.

Christoph Zierl, MVTec Software GmbH

New production trends such as IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) and the smart factory are changing value chains, increasing efficiency with a greater number of interconnections and enhanced standardization. Accompanying technologies — notably machine vision — are becoming increasingly important in this context. Machine vision plays a key role in the consistent automation of testing, measurement, and production processes. So far, however, the technology has had only a limited ability to interact with the classic automation environment because customer applications often treat...Read full article

    machine vision
    Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
    artificial intelligence
    The ability of a machine to perform certain complex functions normally associated with human intelligence, such as judgment, pattern recognition, understanding, learning, planning, and problem solving.
    coaxpress
    CoaXPress (CoaXPress or CXP) is a standardized digital interface and communication protocol used primarily in machine vision and industrial imaging applications. It enables high-speed data transmission and real-time communication between cameras and computers or other image processing devices. CoaXPress was developed to address the need for high-resolution and high-speed image acquisition in various industrial and scientific fields. Key features and characteristics of CoaXPress include: ...
    camera link hs
    Camera Link HS refers to a high-speed version of the Camera Link interface standard used in machine vision and industrial imaging applications. Camera Link is a communication protocol designed for connecting cameras to frame grabbers, allowing for the transfer of digital image data from cameras to processing systems. Camera Link HS (high-speed) is an extension of the original Camera Link standard, developed to meet the increasing demand for higher data transfer rates. It provides a faster and...
