Tens of thousands of applications worldwide inspect billions of products each day, many products that simply could not be manufactured without machine vision technology. Whether verifying the fill levels of soda bottles traveling on a conveyer, reading oil-stained DPM codes on automotive parts or positioning touch screens on smart phones to micron-level accuracy, machine vision technology performs highly-detailed tasks on high-speed production lines. Cognex machine vision systems and vision sensors help companies improve manufacturing quality and performance by eliminating defects, verifying assembly and tracking information at every stage of the production process.
