Companiesandmarkets.com, an online market and corporate information provider, has recently added a new report titled, ‘Machine Vision and Vision Guided Robotics for Factory Automation’, to its list of reports.
The machine vision systems industry has seen robust development in recent years due to continuous reduction in the price of computer memory and multi-core processors with high computing functionality. The machine vision improvement is taking place at a faster pace along with enhancement in image processing algorithms. These advancements make vision systems to be installed in more number of industrial automation applications.
Production facilities are using the new machine vision technologies for a variety of purposes including precise three-dimensional computation and no/yes quality evaluation. However, speed of data processing, imaging resolution and rate of image acquisition are the areas that still require advancements. Machine vision hardware enables vision valuable for robotic assistance purposes.
Machine vision manufacturers have found a new market in developing countries as they could offer machine vision technology at affordable cost. The constant reduction in the cost of machine vision parts makes human-to-machine substitution profitable.
