SUMMARY:Improving Food & Beverage Inspection with Automated Machine Vision
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintIt’s widely known that human vision performs adequately for a certain period of time\, but is subject to distraction and subsequent mistakes. Multiple quality control studies show that human inspectors consistently find only 80% of the defects\, while\, in some applications\, machine vision has been shown to approach a 0% inspection failure rate. And\, as technology prices drop\, and the ease of use increases\, machine vision continues to be a more attractive option for small and medium-sized manufacturers\, particularly in the Food & Beverage industry. \nOn December 8th at 10:30 AM PT\, Robotics Automation Engineering Expert Jonathan Perez and Technical Services Senior Consultant Matt Minner will discuss how machine vision can help Food & Beverage manufacturers gain real\, measurable metrics by: \n\n\n\nIncreasing throughput by eliminating nonconforming product & packaging\nImproving quality by verifying all parameters of an item\nProtecting consumers to make sure products are labeled properly for identification\nTracking products to ensure items are where they need to be\n\n\n\nRegister \n\n\n\n\nMeet the Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJonathan Perez\nRobotics Automation Engineering Expert\nCMTC Contractor\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt Minner\nSenior Consultant\, Technical Services\nCatalyst Connection\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrint PDFPrint
