Machine Vision (MV) is the integration of hardware and software used to assist computers in making decisions by analyzing video and images. In manufacturing, MV is commonly used on production lines for automatic inspection at every stage of the product. MV has also expanded its applications in high-end surveillance/security, biomedical imaging, and even vision guided robotics/vehicles. With advancements in vision technology, machines are increasingly capable of greater functions to meet strategic goals of industry.
All MV computers are comprised of two key components: a hardware platform and vision software. The hardware platform is the computer working in conjunction with various devices such as cameras, capture cards, and data acquisition modules to enable it to capture video or images. Once the target video or image is acquired, it is then processed by the vision software which triggers an action or function depending on the result. Due to the wide variety of cameras, motion controllers, and other devices required for MV, it is critical for the hardware platform to feature expandability for multiple PCI/PCIe add-on cards. Most MV computers are deployed in adverse environments, so the entire platform must also be engineered to withstand extreme temperature ranges, varying voltage levels, and high levels of shock and vibration.
What sets general computer vision apart from machine vision is a hardware platform that is designed for the rugged and industrial environment. Three critical elements are required in order for a system to operate properly in a factory setting: 1) wide range operating temperature, 2) high shock and vibration rating, and 3) power protection from potential voltage spikes.
By utilizing a fanless and cableless design in conjunction with selecting a high performance processor with low TDP, we can ensure the computer is able to operate reliably with the temperature range of -25C to 70C (-13F to 158F)
Featuring a solid construction with a modular and single top cover design, the system is tested and validated for vibration rating at 3 Grms and shock level at 50G
Power output in a factory can fluctuate widely and suddenly, so it is crucial that any computers operating in such an environment have proper power protection. Our MV platform comes standard with OVP (Over Voltage Protection), OCP (Over Current Protection), and RVP (Reverse Voltage Protection). This allows the computer to continue to operate continuously even with unexpected power spikes.
Depending on the task and factory conditions, additional devices or add-on cards might be needed, so a MV computer needs to be flexible when it comes expandability. Premio VCO series offer a maximum of five expansion slots, in various combinations of legacy PCI and PCIe. For ease of installation and maintenance, all computer ports are front facing and accessible from a single side including all ports from any add-on cards. In addition, the unit is mountable in three different configurations: wall mount, book mount, or industry standard DIN-rail mount; this allows the unit to be installed accordingly to each factory's space constraints.
MV technolody enables factories to streamline their overall manufacturing process and with its many benefits, help meet strategic goals.
Extremely repetitive tasks can be automated with far greater accuracy and speed. Factories can reduce human involvement for tasks that are ill-suited for manual labor, but is extremely well-suited for a machine.
Inspection by MV yields higher consistency and quality. Once the initial rules and conditions are configured in the vision software, an MV platform is able to learn and optimize over time with tighter process control.
Manual tasks now connected to a computer can provide data feedback. Captured images and videos can be archived and analyzed for future improvements in design and production.
The space needed for an MV computer is much smaller than the space needed for a human operator. In additional, the MV platform can operate in extreme environments.
Machine vision computers can serve as cloud gateways for industrial IoT edge networks. By efficiently delegating select IoT applications to cloud resources, machine vision computers free up processing capacity for tasks demanding local compute for real-time action. Cloud access also streamlines application upgrades and security patching for embedded systems with access constraints.
Premio machine vision computers are certified to deploy cloud platforms like AWS IoT Greengrass. The platforms connect, monitor, and improve control of IoT assets to simplify enterprise system launch and management. The platforms draw advanced compute capabilities from the cloud to apply locally for latency-free performance and insights.
