IMPROVING MANUFACTURING PRODUCTIVITY
The benefits of Total QA. Research from the University of Warwick found that happiness made individuals twelve per cent more productive. Having a happy workforce may be the first…
WHAT IS TOTAL QA?
Quality assurance that safeguards your product and plant. In George Orwell’s 1984, he conceives a futuristic dystopia where Big Brother watches over every citizen. While his concept of…
THREE WAYS AUTONOMOUS MACHINE VISION (AMV) BENEFITS PLASTIC INJECTION MOULDING
Autonomous Machine Vision is a new approach to quality assurance (QA) developed by Inspekto, a German company with Israeli DNA. As the name suggests, this technology is conceived to be autonomous in every way, from determining the ideal number of samples the system needs to learn the characteristics of the item, to self-adjusting the camera settings to obtain the best image possible of the item to be inspected.
BOSCH WAIBLINGEN PLANT UTILISES AUTONOMOUS MACHINE VISION
The company tested the world’s first autonomous visual inspection product. In its plant in Waiblingen, Germany, Bosch produces plastic moulded connectors for the automotive sector. Plastic injection moulding…
CAMERA SPECS – NOT THE FRONTIER IN THE ERA OF AI
Autonomous Machine Vision (AMV) offers a new approach to visual QA. If humans had the eyesight of an eagle, we could spot an ant from the top of…
“The advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that you don't really even notice it, so it's part of everyday life.”

APPLICATIONS FOR PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENT
Traditionally, plastic injection moulding is a difficult application for machine vision. The highly reflective surface of plastics is hard to illuminate correctly, and the fact that the same production line can create items of different colours and shapes is problematic for traditional solutions, only capable of inspecting one product at a time.
