As with a human brain, the information captured has to be processed in order to be used. This is done by machine vision software integrated into the process, which processes the data and provides the results for further use. What makes machine vision special is that, like the human eye, it is able to identify the broadest range of objects and correlations and put them in the context of production. This opens up wide-ranging possibilities for uses in all sorts of different processes.
For example, objects in the goods cycle can be automatically identified and classified. This can be done on the basis of greater reliability and precision than the human eye could ever do. But that’s not all. In the context of networked production, the products concerned can be automatically classed as rejects and removed before they get any further in the logistics process chain.
