Machine vision.
Random product positioning reduces throughput and consistency. Vision technology enables robots to detect, identify, and position products without predefined placement, increasing throughput, reducing labor dependency, and improving process reliability across intralogistics and manufacturing applications.
What is machine vision?
Machine vision technology can be seen as the eyes of an automated system. Using advanced 3D cameras, industrial computers capture images of products and their surroundings. This allows accurate estimation of product locations, pickup positions and characteristics, forming the foundation for flexible automation in variable environments.
What this technology solves
Variable product positioning
Repetitive manual handling
Inconsistent process quality
Labor availability constraints
How it works
Advanced 3D cameras capture product images, which are processed by industrial computers to determine positions and characteristics. This data is used for robot kinematics and path planning, enabling accurate, collision-free handling of products with variations.
-
Vision AI uses trained artificial intelligence models for recognition and classification.
-
CAD Matching detects products using 3D CAD models and predictable geometries.
-
Systems provide positional data for robot movement and process optimization.

A proven approach to robotic automation
The success of robotic automation depends on more than the technology itself. The way requirements are defined, engineering decisions are made, and systems are supported after commissioning all influence long-term operations performance.
Bringing together expertise across engineering, integration, commissioning, and support helps create solutions that perform reliably in operation.
Robotic automation that performs
''We're still learning and the team is still getting more comfortable with it, but at the end of the day we really starting to see the productivity, the benefits that we were expecting.''
