Do you know the importance of visual inspection equipment

    The visual inspection machine has always played an important part in the factory automation system. At the beginning, it was only used as a substitute for human time perception. However, with the improvement of skills, the use of machine vision in the production line has gradually deepened. Accuracy is not comparable to human eyes. According to research institutions, the global output of machine vision will exceed US$14 billion by 2022. From the perspective of current development, the key skills in the next few years will include robotics, 3D vision, and industrial sensors. , Impression processing skills, robot manipulation software or algorithms, and artificial intelligence skills. Among these skills, 3D vision and robots will be the key.

    In the early stage of visual inspection equipment, Taiwanese manufacturers mostly used machine vision products imported from abroad, and then integrated systems based on customer needs. Later, the industrial computer industry emerged. Related Taiwanese manufacturers began to focus on the development of machine vision, coupled with the market’s focus on industrial smart cameras, With the increase in product and application requirements such as image capture equipment and impression processing, visual inspection equipment has grown substantially regardless of the skill or application side.

    However, in recent years, the relevant industries in mainland China have also prospered rapidly. Related material calculations. Now my country has more than 102 machine vision companies, more than 200 machine vision product agents, and more than 50 professional machine vision system integrators. The industrial chain of industrial cameras, industrial lenses, image capture cards, and processing software for all visual inspection equipment is gradually becoming complete.

    With the accelerating trend of smart production, machine vision products will gradually become the key skills for companies to perform collaborative production. But at the same time, another problem will also emerge, that is, when machine vision products begin to become information gathering tools for the production line, In order to be compatible with different vision systems, in addition to the selection of standardized skills, related vision inspection equipment must also be developed to meet the needs of the enterprise. The change in demand promotes industrial transformation. Therefore, the future machine vision manufacturers will no longer provide a single product. It is gradually changing to an integrator of the overall treatment plan system.

    From the perspective of the field, according to research institutions’ inquiries, 40% to 50% of the market demand for machine vision is now concentrated in the semiconductor and electronics industries, including PCB printed circuit boards, electronic packaging skills, and SMT surface assembly. The reasons are It is because the semiconductor industry needs to be backed by high-precision vision equipment and high-quality skills, and machine vision can fully handle these problems; in addition, the use of machine vision systems in quality inspection is now appropriate and extensive, and it has an important position in the production line The depth of its application is directly proportional to the degree of its automated system, such as pharmaceuticals, printing, food packaging inspection, etc. In addition, under the influence of policy elements, high-end innovative categories, smart transportation and other categories will also be future visual inspection equipment The main points and directions of the preparation.
