The seamless integration of AI into the consumer sector has helped to improve our quality of life and make interactions with technology more efficient. In industry, AI vision with machine learning opens up new possibilities that are not covered by rule-based image processing. Nevertheless, we are still a long way from widespread industrial use of AI methods. Is a rethink necessary?
New AOI system at Axxeron Hesch
With the Verispector from Marantz electronics, Axxeron Hesch electronics is investing in Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) of THT (manually) assembled PCBs in its production facility in Neustadt. The major advantage of AOI is that defects can be detected early on the PCBs before they are fed through the solder wave.

Interview with Gabriele Zocchi
Augmented and virtual reality differ in the degree of virtualization, but can now work with one and the same software - and in multi-user applications. Gabriele Zocchi, Technical Product Owner at Holo-Light, explains how it works.

At automatica 2023 in Munich from June 27 to 30, 2023, Cognex will present its current product portfolio for the automation of simple to complex applications in the fields of defect and assembly inspection, classification, measurement, robotics, code identification and plain text.

In quality assurance, deviations from the standard often need to be reliably detected. Industrial cameras play an important role in this by capturing images of products and analyzing them for defects.
