Machine vision is one of the basic technologies of industrial automation. For decades, it has helped improve product quality, speed up production, and optimize manufacturing and logistics processes. Now, this mature technology is merging with artificial intelligence and leading the transition to Industry 4.0. Machine vision technology enables industrial equipment to "see" the operation it is performing and make quick decisions based on what it sees. The most common uses of machine vision are visual inspection and defect detection, positioning and measuring parts, and identifying, classifying and tracking products.

Appearance and defect detection application requirements

A typical machine vision application system includes image capture, light source system, image digitization module, digital image processing module, intelligent judgment and decision module, and mechanical control execution module. In the machine vision industry, the performance of the controller affects the processing speed and running time of the entire visual system, and is the key to the entire visual system. A high-reliability and high-stability control device is indispensable. Among them, the appearance and defect detection in the processing and manufacturing industry is a typical machine vision industry application. Based on the characteristics of industry applications, the following conditions are required:

1. Adopt fanless design, low power consumption, high reliability, high precision, high timeliness, dustproof, shockproof, and corrosion-resistant
2. Adapt to the factory workshop environment
3. Rich and diverse I/O interfaces to meet the needs of connecting different peripheral devices.
4. Compact products
5. Human-computer interaction
