INTRODUCTION

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Machine vision (MV) is an automated technology through which images are captured and transferred to a PC and processed thereafter, for inspection and reporting of the processed results. MV systems are devices that capture and analyze visual information, and are used to automate tasks that require “seeing.” A camera lens and an image sensor are used to capture images. Vision software analyzes what is being seen and communicates information to other equipment. Vision systems also require lighting and are configured by connecting them to a display device such as a computer monitor.

Vision systems can have a variety of physical forms, depending on the user’s need. Users can purchase vision software to use with their own cameras and processors, or they can purchase a stand-alone unit that combines the camera, processor, and software into a single package. These systems have increasingly become more powerful while at the same time easy to use. Recent advancements in MV technology, such as smart cameras and vision-guided robotics, have increased the scope of the MV market for a wider application in the industrial and nonindustrial sectors.

Today, MV is used to ensure the quality of everything from tiny computer chips to massive space vehicles as well as in major security applications and traffic and crowd-control applications. MV has evolved to become a vital and effective automation tool that enables computers to replace human vision in many high-speed and high-precision manufacturing and nonindustrial applications. Today, MV systems are utilized in all industrial applications, including semiconductor, electronics, pharmaceuticals, packaging, medical devices, automotive, and consumer goods. It has also become a major tool in traffic management, toll collection, and many other nonindustrial uses.

This report will look at the application market for MV systems and the competition involved in this ever-expanding field. This report will also study the global market for the various components that constitute an MV system. The market for these components has become very competitive, and this report will look into the nature of the competition and the region-wide breakdown of this market.

REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY

To succeed in a market, MV companies must understand that market. They must know who their competitors are, how the market as a whole is performing, and what is selling and what is not.

Report Highlights

Machine vision, the combination of cameras, lighting and software to capture and analyze moving images, is distinguished from other electronic imaging technologies because it is specifically associated with industrial manufacturing. In the 1980s, machine vision emerged as a means to improve the manufacturing process, and its use has been growing steadily ever since.
The trend towards total quality and recent advances in machine vision technology are working in tandem to open the doors for machine vision in a wider variety of markets and applications. Machine vision systems have been critical in helping meet the growing demand by consumers for high quality, defect-free products.
Manufacturers of all kinds are realizing the benefits of using machine vision in conjunction with automated, high-speed processes to increase productivity, improve product quality, and reduce waste. As the technology continues to develop, the applications for which machine vision can be used will certainly expand as well.
