Industrial Machine Vision Systems Integrator and Supplier

Industrial vision is the application of computer vision in industrial production and research. This type of system consists of sensors, software and optical equipment. Industrial vision is essential for quality control, optical character recognition, flexible distribution system monitoring and 3D reading. ATG Technologies is a supplier of industrial vision solutions.

We offer our customers a comprehensive range of products and services, from sensor design and manufacturing to vision system implementation.

What Is Vision Automation?

Machine vision developed from robotic vision, which was initially used in military and space applications. The first industrial vision systems were developed in the 1970s to inspect electronic components on assembly lines. Since then, this technology has been widely adopted in many industrial sectors, including automotive, aerospace, packaging, pharmaceuticals and food.

The objectives and uses of machine vision

Machine vision is a field of engineering that focuses on the design and integration of automated systems for product inspection and quality control. This system is therefore generally composed of a set of optical and electronic equipment, such as cameras, sensors, projectors and computers.

Machine vision systems can be used to perform a range of inspection and quality control tasks. These include, for example, detecting surface defects, measuring dimensions, checking colours and tracking products. These systems can also be used to perform more complex tasks, such as tracking the movement of objects on an assembly line or reading barcodes.

A tailor-made solution

Industrial vision systems are generally tailor-made to meet the specific needs of each application. They can therefore be integrated into an existing production line or used as a stand-alone system. Manufacturers of industrial vision systems offer a wide range of optical and electronic equipment, as well as software specially designed for these applications.

The main advantages of machine vision

Machine vision and its automation offer a number of advantages for businesses, including:

Traceability: vision applications optimise traceability in the production process.
Efficiency: compared to checks carried out by operators, visual automation does not make mistakes.

Tracking and control operations are carried out more quickly, thereby improving the company’s productivity.

Machine Vision: Essential To Industrial Automation

Machine vision is revolutionising the way various companies manage their production processes. More specifically, by integrating machine vision systems, they can benefit from a range of significant advantages in terms of efficiency and quality.

High-quality products

Among these benefits is, first and foremost, the automated and accurate inspection of different products throughout the production line. Thanks to advanced technologies such as image recognition and artificial intelligence, industrial vision systems are able to detect tiny defects that might escape the human eye, resulting in higher-quality products.

Reduced costs and improved production

Automating inspection processes with this technology also makes it possible to reduce labour costs and increase production speed. Automated inspections are faster and more reliable than manual ones. This gives companies the opportunity to save time and improve their operational efficiency.

Improved profitability

By quickly identifying defects and anomalies, machine vision systems also enable companies to implement immediate corrective measures. This reduces material waste and the costs associated with recalling defective products. The result is lower production costs and improved overall profitability for any company concerned.

What Industries Are Applicable To Machine Vision?

Industrial vision, a guarantee of quality and effectiveness

Machine vision is used in a variety of industries. Among the professionals who need it are the defense and aeronautics industries, automobile manufacturing, the energy industry and power engineering, the food industry, distribution and online sales, the construction industry, the medical, cosmetics and biotechnology industries, etc.

In these various fields, automation via machine vision is used to optimize assembly, handling, manufacturing or shipping processes. It can be used for quality control, control and positioning of small parts, presence and size control, control of small applications and distribution of bead profiles. It can also perform the following operations:

• Verification and optical character recognition
• Robotic guidance
• Development of optical systems
• Decoding and quality of barcodes
• Identification and sorting
• Control of medical products

Bank card quality control machine

ATG Technologies has developed a bank card quality control machine. As its name suggests, this device plays an essential role in verifying payment cards. The machine analyses the conformity of bank cards by checking their physical integrity, the accuracy of the printed information and the presence of security features, such as electronic chips or magnetic strips. It also guarantees the reliability and security of financial transactions by identifying fraudulent cards and ensuring the validity of payment methods. With a throughput of 8,000 cards per hour and a control accuracy of 10 micrometres, this installation ensures 100% reliability on fast production lines. Machine vision solutions thus enable these companies to significantly improve their production processes in terms of quality, costs and flexibility.
