Machine Vision

We help manufacturers automate inspection, measurement, identification and quality-control processes.

Machine Vision Solutions

Our Machine Vision Solutions help manufacturers automate inspection, measurement, identification and quality-control processes. We customise vision systems around the product, inspection requirement and production environment, with integration available for new or existing automated production lines.

What Our Machine Vision Solutions Help With

Manual inspection can become difficult to maintain when production volumes increase or when repeated checks require greater consistency. Machine vision provides an automated way to capture and evaluate visual information as part of the production process.

The right solution depends on what needs to be inspected, measured, identified, verified or positioned and how the inspection result should be used within the wider automation system.

Machine Vision Applications

Depending on your manufacturing requirement, our solutions can support:

  • Automated visual inspection

    to examine products, components or defined production conditions

  • Defect detection

    for visible inconsistencies or specified visual characteristics

  • Dimensional measurement

    for non-contact checking of relevant dimensions or features

  • Component verification

    to confirm presence, position or required visual condition

  • Barcode and QR code reading

    for automated identification

  • Optical character recognition (OCR)

    for reading and verifying printed or displayed characters

  • Positioning and alignment

    to determine an item's location or orientation

  • Quality-control automation

    by incorporating defined visual checks into the production process

Each system is configured according to the actual inspection criteria and manufacturing environment.

Integration with Automated Production Lines

Machine vision is often most useful when inspection becomes part of the production sequence rather than a separate manual activity.

Our solutions can be integrated with existing automated production lines, new automation systems, assembly processes, inspection stations, production workstations and wider factory automation applications. The integration approach depends on the surrounding equipment and required inspection process.

Where Machine Vision Can Be Applied

Machine vision can support semiconductor, electronics and EMS, automotive, medical device, food and beverage, packaging, logistics and general manufacturing environments where automated inspection, identification, measurement or verification is required.

Because inspection requirements vary between products and industries, the system should be developed around the specific manufacturing process rather than applying the same vision configuration to every application.

How We Approach Machine Vision Projects

  1. 1. Define the inspection requirement

    We identify what needs to be inspected, measured, identified, verified or positioned.

  2. 2. Review the production environment

    We consider the product, workstation, automation process and surrounding equipment.

  3. 3. Determine the required vision function

    This may involve visual inspection, defect detection, measurement, code reading, OCR, positioning or component verification.

  4. 4. Develop the customised solution

    The system is configured around the manufacturing and quality-control requirements.

  5. 5. Integrate with the production process

    The solution can be incorporated into new or existing automated production lines, with implementation and commissioning support based on project requirements.

Why Work with iMS Motionet?

We operate as both an automation solution provider and an industrial automation product distributor. Our wider capabilities include smart screwing, intelligent MAGLEV transfer systems, robotics and AMR, servo press solutions and industrial software.

This allows machine vision requirements to be considered together with surrounding machines, automation processes and production-line integration rather than as an isolated inspection system.
