Both were too slow to meet the sortation system’s requirements.Ĭognex VisionPro allowed more processing power by running from a computer and the ability to multi-thread our software to improve processing time. Evaluation of Potential SolutionsĪutomation nth started by evaluating several off-the-shelf vision systems, Cognex In-Sight and Keyence CV-5000, on a prototype conveyor system in our lab. The solution needed to improve sorting accuracy and also be easy to use and maintain. The company turned to Automation nth to find a cost effective solution that could be adapted for the existing sorting machine. Classic rules-based algorithms could not be programmed to account for all the variability.Īdditionally, the machine’s vision system was extremely difficult to modify and add new part types, which was a problem because new part types were continually introduced to the machine. The orientation and placement of the parts on the conveyor belt was highly variable and the conveyor belt accumulated many stains. However, the machine struggled to correctly classify parts. The machine was supposed to sort ~60 part types at a rate of 700ms per part with a vision system. Machine Vision ChallengesĪ customer had an expensive sorting machine that wasn’t working properly.
