Defect identification and removal

A system developed to automatically detect defects visible on the surface of material as it is produced on a moving conveyor, using controlled illumination and machine vision analysis to provide a non-contact and automated alternative to manual inspection - resulting in a reduction of material wastage compared to manual operation.

Item tracking for reliable process automation

A system to improve the reliability of existing line automation by providing accurate visual tracking of items on a large conveyor. The system prevents the occurrence of automation faults caused by the previous trigger sensor tracking scheme when faced with unexpected or challenging item position, size or motion.
