Machine Vision is used to describe the technology that creates automated images in industrial applications - usually for inspection, analysis, and guidance. Machine vision technology applications include checking objects within close proximity, identifying the colour or size of an object, and deciphering between barcodes and printed characters.
Machine vision technology includes a wide range of cameras, lenses and lighting. OEM also offer barcode and guidance scanners as part of the machine vision product range.
The machine vision cameras available at OEM Automatic include 3D cameras, area scan, embedded, ToF cameras, IP cameras and Line scan cameras.
As well as the cameras, we can supply heavy equipment cameras, camera enclosures, barcode readers, machine vision hardware & software, smart cameras, lenses, filters, and a range of accessories and associated components.
The complete range of machine vision products.
A machine vision system comprises a range of equipment, for example, the camera, lenses, lighting, and an image processing unit. At OEM Automatic, we can create a machine vision system according to your application.
Machine vision system component range.
Camera range:
Our camera range consists of 3 categories:
Alongside the cameras, we can offer associated accessories, including:
We also provide customisable camera kits that include everything you need in one kit.
Barcode scanners and guidance scanners
We also offer a range of barcode scanners available in 1D, 2D and 3D and guidance scanners used to detect nearby objects and measure distance within a machine vision application.
Machine vision products are used for a wide range of applications, predominantly within the industrial automation sectors.
Appearance Inspection – Machine vision cameras are used to inspect products and are often found in product manufacturing or quality inspection applications. Cameras ensure a product is free of scratches, damage, missing parts, burrs, dents, discolouration or anything visually different.
Vehicle and machine safety – Machine vision systems can be designed to detect blind spots and help guide drivers in difficult conditions, increasing road safety. This includes HGVs, cranes, trucks, buses, agricultural machinery, mining machinery and all other heavy equipment vehicles.
Warehouse Guidance – Cameras and barcode scanners can be used on forklifts and AGVs inside warehouses and within logistics to help keep personnel safe and perform automation tasks.
Measuring – Machine vision cameras mounted onto objects can measure the distance of objects around and help with collecting data within industrial automation and logistics applications.
Stock monitoring - Machine vision cameras and barcode scanners are used for stock-taking tasks in warehouses. They are used to accurately check the amount of a product stocked and stock moving in and out of a warehouse in fast-paced environments.
Surveillance – Usually, in outdoor and night-time environments, cameras are used to detect people or objects and record for the use of the owner.
Code reading – Machine vision and barcode scanning equipment is used to collect data within warehouses or in logistics and can be used within a greater automation application to check dates or codes, increasing efficiency, usually used in the manufacturing, automotive, electronics, food & beverage, and medical/pharmaceutical industries.
Machine vision products can be used in any environment, wet or dry and dark or light. Our products can be designed for different climates and environments, depending on your application.
Here are some examples of challenging environments where our machine vision products have been used:
Machine vision and barcode scanning equipment are used in almost all industries, here are some examples:
Machine vision systems can increase productivity, efficiency and lower costs - replacing human tasks and labour. The intelligence of machine vision systems can make your processes faster and decrease the chances of inaccuracies and mistakes.
Any machine vision product will come with beneficial features and high-quality image capture, overall.
The ‘Machine vision camera’ section includes all cameras used for industrial inspection and guidance tasks. These cameras require a connection to a computer where the images are analysed.
Smart cameras have a built-in intelligence system that can analyse images without a separate computer system. So, it is an all-in-one camera.
