Object Detector and Classifier are two more modules that we would like to briefly describe and provide an example of their use in our blog series. To simulate a real-life scenario, we used different products, a small conveyor belt, and a PLC connected to a signaling beacon. The items, while moving on the conveyor belt, were sorted into the correct product class and inspected for any defect or missing parts. We’re inviting you to look behind the scene at how everything was done.

In our next installment of blog series, we will take a look at PEKAT VISION's OCR module used with PhoXi 3D scanner from Photoneo. Using the scanner, we read the embossed characters, including the manufacturer's identification number and DOT number, on the sidewall of a scooter tire.

We are introducing a new series of blog posts covering the main modules of PEKAT VISION as they were presented during the autumn trade fairs. In the first part of the series, we will look at the Surface Detection module, used for detecting scratches, cracks, tears in packaging material or shrink wraps, missing parts, burrs on oil seals, or just any kind of surface defect or contamination.

Searching for defects, either defined, or previously unseen is not the only use of our software. PEKAT VISION can be applied for vision-based robot guidance, product sorting, or completeness check. In this brief article we will look at completeness inspection for the pharma industry.

Camera-based inspection systems with artificial intelligence enable product quality control at a level that previously could only be performed by humans. This article explains how and why to use AI in your production and how PEKAT VISION can help you.

We are proud to announce that yesterday PEKAT VISION was acquired by Datalogic for €16 million.

Until now we did not pay that much attention to our Detector module. This is a pity because it is a very useful and fast technique for defect detection.

In this use case, we would like to show you how you can effectively detect various types of defects on textile.

The Medical field is also one of those areas which can benefit from detection of flaws using deep learning tools. As proved by PEKAT VISION software that we used to inspect pill blisters.

We are about to release our new OCR module, which also includes AI training! Our new OCR module is able to perfectly read printed characters done by welding, dotted characters printed on metallic parts and other surfaces, tyre marks description, special characters and much more.

In this interview, we would like to introduce Sergio Palazzi, the owner and executive director of Machine Vision Consulting Srl. Machine Vision Consulting is our partner, integrator and product distributor in Italy. We spoke about their work, progress in the field of automation and AI and also about future plans.

Even though the automotive industry already has several automated manufacturing processes, it still relies heavily on human visual inspection. Among others, the automotive industry is able to implement automated inspection solutions using machine vision technology. Let’s have a look at our newest use case.

Nowadays, the visual inspection of transparent materials is still a challenge in machine vision projects. Our latest case study is focusing on this specific issue. We have performed a feasibility study for glass inspection and we are glad to share these results with you.

The manufacturers of braided cables need their products to be very flexible and remain in perfect condition for a long period of time. To achieve that, the customer needs to achieve 100% flawless product. PEKAT VISION software is an effective, fast and easy way to achieve that as you can see in our new case study.

Food and beverages always need to be in a perfect condition when customers buy them. That is why the food and beverage industry is very strict about the quality of their products. Concerning these industries, we had the opportunity to use our software for the recognition of defects on salmon.

Connecting your software with LabVIEW and integrating with PEKAT VISION has never been easier! We have prepared a demo, including a VI file, which you can also use in your application, saving you from wasting hours in programming communication in LabVIEW!

PEKAT VISION has recently performed a feasibility study regarding inspection of defects in the production of paving blocks.

We perform feasibility studies for our customers on daily basis. We use them to demonstrate the capabilities of the PEKAT VISION software. On two examples of such studies we want to show you where and how exactly can PEKAT VISION's focused learning algorithm be applied.
