What is Machine Vision? Machine Vision is a complex, varied and extremely technical field however, in its simplest form, Machine Vision is the use of digital, non-contact optical/imaging devices in order to automatically interpret a product, image or ‘real scene’ and provide automatic data to the End User.

It’s used for a variety of purposes ranging in discipline and industry, but it’s typically used in order to provide a super-fast, accurate and cost-effective way of streamlining a manufacturing or production process by reducing the need of human interaction or involvement.

Some examples:

• Manufacturers use Machine Vision technology to scan chocolate moulds before putting to use to identify any defects, damage or aesthetic faults with the moulds before chocolate is poured.
• Manufactures of bank notes use Vision Technology to scan (in super-fast speed) the money and detect any printing defects, tears or damage to notes prior to release.
