Vision systems can be as important to manufacturing businesses as the manufactured products themselves. For products ranging from semiconductors to solar cells, and from pharmaceuticals to vehicles, vision systems help ensure quality and maximize production line efficiency, which means cost savings. Global sales revenue from machine vision systems in North America was valued at $889.3 million in 2009, according to the latest market study by the Automated Imaging Association (AIA). The semiconductor industry tops the list of users both in terms of revenue and units sold. This is...Read full article

    gige
    GigE, short for gigabit Ethernet, refers to a standard for high-speed Ethernet communication, capable of transmitting data at rates of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps), or 1000 megabits per second (Mbps). GigE is an extension of the ethernet family of networking technologies, which is widely used for local area network (LAN) communication in homes, businesses, and data centers. Key features and characteristics of gigabit Ethernet include: Speed: GigE offers significantly higher data...
    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...
    thermal imaging
