Industrial Application of Machine Vision

Inspection of components using machine vision technologies provides solution for quality and process control. Various applications of Machine vision technologies are automotive, Pharmaceutical, food and beverage, electronics, packages, process control and special application. In this paper dimensional measurement, optical character reorganization, process control using image processing, checking of presence and absence of finished product parts in the production line are discussed. The basic idea of this paper is to make aware of machine vision technology and to improve the production quality, reduce the scrap product due to non-conformity by controlling the manufacturing process through machine vision and also to prevent the value addition for scrap product in the subsequent stage of manufacturing process. Various projects discussed in this paper are implemented and proofs of concepts are shown to the manufacturer.
