Together with textile service provider Mewa, Fraunhofer IGD has developed an automated system to check the quality of high-visibility clothing more quickly and reliably.

Ideally, plastic containers should be tested for leaks during the production process. With the Cetatest 715 LV, a 1,000 liter IBC can be tested in a total test time of less than 30 seconds.
Load mapping for optical sensors
The smart task functionality Load Mapping, which Sick provides for its smart optical sensors with IO-Link, makes it possible to record the occupancy of workpiece carriers during the feeding process into an assembly cell and output it as a digital sensor signal to the robot controller.

The image processing system from Vision & Control carries out color checks in fractions of a second. This is intended to ensure higher quality, including in the production of small injection-molded parts.
With the ICS body temperature screening system, ICS has developed a stationary and mobile solution for the automated measurement of human body temperature by infrared scan.

Sensors and positioning systems
Siko has opened another site in Bad Krotzingen, around 30 kilometers away from the traditional company headquarters in Buchenbach.

Endress+Hauser: Financial year 2019
Endress+Hauser reports good development in all business areas, sectors and regions for the 2019 financial year.

Platinum chip temperature sensors with a solderable back are now new to the Jumo range.

In order to promote training and further education in the field of industrial image processing and optical measurement and testing technology even in corona times, the Fraunhofer Vision Alliance is offering the latest five volumes of its guide series as free PDF files for the next three months.
