视觉技术正在改变制造的面孔。消除机械过程意味着灵活，全自动解决方案，可以提高生产率并降低成本。由于识别和可追溯性方案，制造商现在可以从摇篮到坟墓跟踪产品。视觉导向机器人制造了在不可能的地方部署的机器人解决方案。随着传感器技术的进步，CoNEX Checker取代了传统传感器，用于多种检测应用。
PickMaster™, a productivity enhancing concept for high speed picking applications was developed by ABB Robotics and is based on Cognex vision technology.
The rapid spread of robot technology worldwide proves that vision guided robotic solutions are the key to higher productivity, better economics and higher product quality. Industrial vision technology provides a wide range of ABB robots with "eyes" to see where the part is located and accurately place them in precise positions at the same time performing extensive quality inspection.

冒险家In-Sight is the driving force behind the first fully integrated tray inspection system combining machine vision with automatic tray handling for the pharmaceutical industry. It was developed by Clarke Engineering Services Inc. (CES) who chose In-Sight for accuracy, reliability, and performance.
冒险家tools were more robust for this application than the other vision tools we evaluated, and the powerful preprocessing filters helped us achieve the desired inspection results. The Cognex vision tools provided the most robust solution.

在福特公司在英国,路钢车轮进行检查using an In-Sight and PC based vision system for weld quality and position. Road wheels are formed from a continuous strip of steel that is formed, rolled and welded. The vision systems ensure that the weld is unbroken and valve holes are punched away from the weld line.
We believe the potential application for PatMax technology throughout Ford to be enormous. Much of what Ford manufacturing plants do worldwide is insert and remove parts from containers. With the high cost of fixturing, and the inability to fixture such items as "as-cast" engine blocks, the ability to automatically locate and robotically grip un-fixtured parts may prove to be one of the most significant tools as manufacturing moves into the next century.
