AI Brings New Capabilities to Bin Picking Plucking individual objects from a collection, or bin picking, is a staple of man- ufacturing and processing. Robotic bin picking has been around for decades but often required special expertise to configure, as well as some sort of manual intervention, such as placing parts on a fixture prior to the robot’s actions. However, recent advancements in machine learning and associated AI...
AI Streamlines Inspection in the Pharmaceutical Industry Visual inspections in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries help to ensure that medications, instruments, and packaged items arrive free of defects for end users. Whether such products are...
Line-Scan Cameras Facilitate Increasingly Higher Throughput In their most basic form, line-scan cameras have a single row of pixels. To capture an image, the object being imaged must be moving at a known speed. An encoder provides a feedback signal from a...
Editorial
AI looms large in Pharma The margin for error in the pharmaceutical industry is very small; contaminated medications or unsanitary testing kits pose a threat to consumers. To ensure pills, medical devices, and kits arrive in the consumer’s hands defect-free, they must pass inspection. Vision systems today measure unit dimensions, shape, color, and the presence of embossed codes. They can also ensure that packaging...
