computer vision - Industry 4.0 – measurement system
Computer vision is central to Industry 4.0 because it enables advanced automation in quality
control and process optimisation. Through intelligent cameras and algorithms, parts and
components can be inspected in an automated way, detecting defects, measuring dimensions
and ensuring accuracy without human intervention. This not only improves efficiency and productivity, but also reduces errors, costs and production time, enabling companies to achieve higher quality standards and remain competitive in an increasingly automated and demanding environment.
DBX developed a computer vision control system. Parts or components are automatically taken from a separator and inspected in a specialised camera to assess their dimensions and possible surface defects. They are then classified into accepted or rejected parts. This system allowed the customer to speed up production, reduce the need for personnel and guarantee accurate and fast inspection, ensuring the quality of the final product.
