Automatic localization of products with cameras

Why do you need to localize products?

All machines at Promation are custom-made and have diverse functionalities.

  • The one cobot can check if certain screws are present. Or even tighten them.
  • The other cobot looks for products on a conveyor belt so it can package them.
  • Yet another can pick up and move a cookie, bottle or bowl.

For all of those tasks, the robot must first be able to locate the products. Otherwise, the robot cannot do what you expect it to do. We do that using cameras, software and the control box for your robot.

What machines locate products?

The cobots we make almost all have smart cameras. Think of the Costacker, Cofiller and Cofeeder. The camera is strong in detecting products on conveyor belts, in boxes, on pallets, ... Without their vision system they cannot perform their function.

Localization of products for control

In modern production processes, vision systems are often used to control printed data and packaging.

In data control, the camera focuses on products passing by on the conveyor belt, automatically reading and verifying printed information.

In packaging control, the system takes a picture of the packaging. This image is then analysed based on predefined or learned characteristics, followed by an automatic assessment.
