AI-Based Machine Vision Boosting Distribution Yard Efficiency

1 week ago | vision-systems.com | Jim Tatum

Logistics, the industry of transporting goods and materials, is an enormous business worldwide. In 2023, some 20.2 billion tons of freight estimated at around $18.7 trillion was moved in the U.S. alone, according to the U.S. Dept. of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Of that, more than 12 billion tons estimated at more than $11 trillion were transported by truck/tractor trailer.
Carbon Robotics Launches Autonomous Tractor Kit

2 weeks ago | vision-systems.com | Linda Wilson

Carbon Robotics (Seattle, WA, USA) recently launched a kit to turn standard tractors into autonomous machines monitored remotely. Although the tractors traverse fields without a human onboard, trained personnel at a remote operations center monitor the tractors while they are operating and handle human interventions as needed. For example, a tractor might stop suddenly if an unexpected obstruction is in its path, such as a coyote or an irrigation pipe.
Exaktera Acquires autoVimation

Tips for Improving the Performance of Stereo Vision in Robotic Applications

3 weeks ago | vision-systems.com | Linda Wilson

A type of 3D sensing, stereo vision is a common choice for integrating machine vision into robotic applications in warehouses, AutomationWorld reports in a recent article. In the article, AutomationWorld, says that stereo vision offers numerous advantages for vision-guided robotics in warehouse environments.
Machine Vision System Monitors Greenhouse-Grown Specialty Crop

1 month ago | vision-systems.com | Linda Wilson

Researchers at Penn State (University Park, PA, USA) evaluated the performance of a machine vision system, including an AI-enabled image segmentation model, to continuously track the growth of bok choy grown in a greenhouse. Controlled environment agriculture (CEA)—in which plants are grown indoors under ideal conditions and often in a soilless growing medium—provides a way to harvest vegetables year-round, potentially increasing the volume of food available for an expanding worldwide population.
The Power of Using In-Line Machine Vision to Automate Metrology Systems

1 month ago | vision-systems.com | Linda Wilson

Precision in-line metrology, or measurement, is an important application of machine vision in manufacturing environments. Using machine vision components, manufacturers can develop in-line setups that measure the dimensions or geometries of products or their features in real time. When thoughtfully designed and tested, the systems produce repeatable and reliable measurements of products during production.
Researchers Create Model For Inspecting Peanuts

1 month ago | vision-systems.com | Linda Wilson

Researchers in China proposed a convolutional neural network (CNN) model designed to inspect and classify peanut pods in real time using an embedded computing platform. Because the appearance of a peanut’s pod impacts the crop’s market value, the model classifies peanuts as good, loss, or with mechanical damage, mold, or signs of germination.
Boosting Automotive Courtesy Light Production with Machine Vision and Robotics

1 month ago | vision-systems.com | Linda Wilson

Some automobiles feature courtesy lights that project a brand’s logo or other patterns onto the ground using light. They’re usually affixed to the car door and illuminate when a person enters or exits the car. Robooptic Systems (Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, Austria), an integrator specializing in optics and robotics, worked on a project to automate assembly and inspection processes for the courtesy lights.
