Event Information: Maximize Your Robotic Process with Vision-Based Error Proofing

April 21, 2020

Maximize Your Robotic Process with Vision-Based Error Proofing
Presented by: Josh Person, Senior Vision Engineer

Error proofing can vastly improve a robotic manufacturing process. Before, during or after the robot’s task, error proofing can check to make sure everything is going as planned. Vision-based error proofing can be a flexible and affordable way to error proof the process.

Error proofing during each step of the manufacturing process can help ensure quality finished goods. Error Proofing can reduce rework efforts, reduce scrap, and increase customer satisfaction with improved product quality. This session will cover a wide range of error proofing technologies and methods including:

• Inspection vs Error Proofing
• Robot mounted camera VS fixed mount camera for error proofing
• Adding vision to an existing process
• Error Proofing with a Collaborative Robot
• Integrated Robot Vision
• Artificial Intelligence vs Traditional
• 2D and 3D error proofing

This event will take place Thursday April 23, 2020, 2:00 pm Central Daylight Time, and will run for 1 hour.
