Cognex Corporation, the provider of industrial machine vision, has expanded the capabilities of its In-Sight SnAPP vision sensor with the launch of an AI-enabled counting tool. This innovative software tool transforms how manufacturers handle counting tasks, allowing them to easily automate assembly verification and quantity checks that were previously time-consuming or prone to error.
The advanced AI technology also provides an ease of use that lets more manufacturers accurately count challenging part types including objects of similar size, reflective and distorted parts, and objects with varying contrasts and shapes. For example, it allows automotive manufacturers to quickly count modules in an electric vehicle (EV) battery pack tray to confirm proper assembly and avoid recalls.
The new tool reliably identifies and counts objects to ensure consistent quality control, without complex programming. Image-based training, guided setup, and embedded AI allow operators of all skill levels to quickly and effectively solve counting tasks, eliminating the need for complex setups or extensive training.
The In-Sight SnAPP vision sensor with AI is suitable for a range of tasks and industries, and can be set-up within minutes.
