Stand-alone vision systems are capable of providing many quality control and material sorting functions. When combined with robotics, data-tracking applications, and existing systems, however, vision systems are nearly unlimited in what they can provide. Sequence validation, product identification, material handling, inventory tracking, and defect analysis are only some of the possibilities.
As vision tools have become more effective, and the programming required less complex, industry has turned to vision more frequently to resolve quality issues, identify parts, and verify assembly. As industry looks to vision for answers, integrators in turn offer vision systems as solutions.
Unfortunately, not every application is a quick piece of code and a handshake. The powerful tools that are available in vision systems are only as effective as their implementation. Too often a vision system is poorly implemented, and the results deter a company from pursuing further vision solutions.
Fortunately, Tri One Systems has the experience and training to be able to evaluate, properly configure, and install a vision solution correctly.

Machine vision in the automotive industry.
A vision system is monitoring components as they move along a conveyor to ensure that the correct part is being loaded into a bin at the end of the line. If a wrong component is found, it is diverted to a reject bin before the end of the conveyor.
Assembly Validation
A single vision sensor is used to verify that assembles of car seats is complete. Components inspected include a wire harness and several mounting screws, and each product type has a different set of components to be inspected for. An incorrectly assembled part will halt the line until it is removed from the conveyor.
