The Pandemic Highlights Vision-Based Inspection in the Pharmaceutical Industry
The Pandemic Highlights Vision-Based Inspection in the Pharmaceutical Industry
By nature of what is at stake, pharmaceutical and medical industries have developed much stricter standards compared to most other sectors. From day one, quality control and track-and-trace processes have been paramount for pharmaceuticals, and the COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of vaccine quality as a global health issue.

Polarization Cameras Get Ready for Prime Time
Polarization Cameras Get Ready for Prime Time
Polarization can remove glare in vision systems and improve imaging through transparent materials such as glass. This capability is beneficial for surface inspection of film thickness or tilt angle. It is also critical for spotting contaminants in products, when contaminants closely resemble the contents of plastic bins or impurities in pharmaceuticals.

Ruggedization Future-Proofs Lens Designs
Ruggedization Future-Proofs Lens Designs
As machine vision applications have expanded rapidly beyond the controlled environments of the factory, so too has the need for ruggedized lens designs that are able to meet more diverse and nuanced requirements. This is not to say that no demand remains in factory automation for shock- and high-vibration-resistant lenses. But solutions for industrialized imaging applications have been implemented for years now, and many of these techniques can be applied to less controlled environments, such as those navigated by autonomous vehicles and drones. Indeed, the volume of vision applications for factory automation could soon pale in comparison to uses outside the factory, while demand for autonomous services and systems continues to evolve and even accelerate, in no small part due to the current pandemic.
