MACHINE VISION EXPERTISE

At NūMove, we like to say that integrating vision into an equipment or a robot gives it the ability to see and understand its environment. In an industrial setting, machine vision refers to the use of cameras, technologies, and algorithms that allow automated systems to “see” and interpret visual data. This data is processed using 2D/3D image processing techniques or artificial intelligence. Typically, the analyzed data is used to guide robot movements, detect non-conforming products, and generate accurate results that can be easily interpreted by operators.

Machine vision is not included in all of our automation solutions — only when it adds value. When relevant, it offers significant advantages, particularly in robotic depalletizing, palletizing, and case packing applications.

Our Use of Machine Vision:

• Product Detection: Allow robots and equipment to identify and locate products.
• Product Evaluation: Measure distances, dimensions, and angles of products to guide handling or reorientation of items.
• Product Inspection: Perform quality control based on customer-defined criteria.
• Robotic Assistance: Optimize robot trajectories based on product position or environmental factors.
• Product Validation: Confirm that the correct product is being handled.

From a Technical Point of View, Vision Enables Us To:

• Present clear, easy-to-understand information to operators.
• Provide accurate data to automation cells.
• Trigger equipment actions, such as reorienting a product.
• Provide robots with precise picking and placing locations.
• Detect errors and pause production when necessary.
• And more.
