Context is Key to Your Success!

Context is the holy grail for vision inspection because context varies not only from application to application and packaging line to packaging line but also from day to day.

So what is meant by the context of a vision inspection system. The Collins English dictionary defines context as the condition and circumstances of an event. For example one can recognize and understand abstract words in the context of a sentence structure with less difficulty when compared to viewing the same words in isolation.

Successful vision inspection design requires a total systems design approach. It requires a complex and profound range of skills and engineering expertise in mechanics, optics, electronics and software design. Without one of these key elements, failure is albeit certain.

When facing a specific vision inspection application requirement, Optel Vision’s engineering team always conduct a detailed analysis of the vision application from a systems engineering perspective. This approach guarantees that the maximum use is made of all the information derived from the specific context of the application. This information includes:

• The nature of the product been handled
• The packaging process been used
• The special features of the production environment

Application analysis through a systems engineering perspective allows vision engineers to significantly reduce the complexities of the application. At Optel Vision we have proven that understanding the context is key to successful vision inspection design. Optel Vision engineers apply a total system design approach to ensure a complete solution for every application.
