Industrial Image Processing

DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEMS INCREASE QUALITY AND PRODUCTIVITY

PSI Technics offers industry-specific and application-specific solutions based on digital image processing systems, designed for the continuous monitoring and quality control of production processes.

Chain inspection in an assembly line:

Considerably reduces costs by using cutting-edge camera solutions!

Using advanced image processing for monitoring production processes offers the following advantages:

Optimizes production processes
Reduces costs for manual and/or visual tests and inspections
Avoids production downtime caused by interference
Replaces several sensors with one flexible camera
Increases product quality and productivity
Increases customer satisfaction

As an experienced systems integrator, PSI Technics retrofits and replaces manual measuring and inspection systems with cutting-edge image processing technology. Powerful 2D and 3D cameras, for example, identify defective products during the early manufacturing stages - considerably cutting costs and increasing the safety of automated production processes as compared to manual inspections.

Different camera systems monitor a variety of parameters and criteria:

Cameras with integrated image processing electronics (smart cameras) and image processing software for external PCs are available for a wide range of applications and monitoring tasks. The ideal system for each application depends on the type of application. All camera systems are suitable for use in different industrial sectors and have proven their worth in tough industrial environments.

Smart camera with integrated image processing electronics
The smart camera's internal image processing technology processes and transmits image data to a process monitoring system. When using a smart camera, no additional external computer is required. This is especially helpful for applications that do not lend themselves to the installation of external PCs in the immediate vicinity of production facilities, or installations which require complex or expensive cabling. The smart camera contains no serviceable parts or components that are prone to interference, such as switchboards or data cards, making it an ideal and inexpensive solution for industrial environments.

Smart Camera Process Integration:

Cameras with PC-based image processing
Cameras with PC-based image processing transmit image data to an external computer which processes the data. Cameras with PC-based image processing are ideally suited for complex installations or application specific-conditions that require additional processing power. The external computer can control multiple cameras simultaneously and may perform additional tasks such as saving or transferring data.
In addition, PC processors can be selected based on the required computing and image processing time. Choosing a powerful PC with increased computing power can significantly speed up image processing time. Moreover, the choice of an adequate operating system allows for efficient programming. Computing tasks can run in parallel and in real-time. The graphical user interface enables a flexible design and can be customized to the client's needs.
