FIT FOR THE FUTURE!
Image processing systems - also vision of systems or Machine vision mentioned - are the pioneers and hope carriers of the industriellen industry: They spread continuously in user industries with high Innovationspotenzial and high growth rates. Particularly by their versatile abilities, they capture constantly new application fields. Whether printed circuit boards of mobile phones, labels of beverage bottles, the label on Kosmetik Dö, display of electronic devices, welding seams in the automobile and mechanical engineering or the surfaces of engine and transmission parts: They all must be examined still in the production line, in order to notice errors in time and reduce committee. In addition in nearly all industries image processing systems are used.
What is to be understood by the conceptualness „image processing “? Behind the term the technology of artificial seeing hides itself and not as frequently confounds the topics diagram and Design. Machines get the ability by the implementation of camera and computer to see to recognize to examine and to make the correct qualitative decisions. A computer evaluates the data taken up by the camera, filters the relevant information and continues to convey the meaningful results to the control, which can release an appropriate reaction.
Quality controls up-to-date without such technologies are no longer conceivable. On the one hand the increasing documentation obligation of production data and on the other hand the rising productivity of innumerable branches of industry requires a ever faster, more economical and more exact examination of the manufacturing. Racking for example high speed plants some ten thousand beverage bottles or cardboard packing per hour, the human eye cannot follow any longer. Optical cameras are used.
Image processing systems secure the quality of the products to 100% and increase thus its quality lastingly. They increase the productivity and lower the costs in the manufacturing. However under this aspect the investment amortizes usually in few months. Beyond that they contribute a crucial contribution to the increase of the security of humans and make production world-wide competitive. The growth of the industriellen image processing is in Germany for years because of the point of the automatic control engineering. In the last years according to VDMA over 20 per cent increase were registered on the average. The federation diagnoses the conversion of the enterprises on over trillion euro in the year 2006.
