Didcot-based Industrial Vision Systems Ltd (IVS) (www.industrialvision.co.uk) — a supplier of quality-control vision systems to industries including medical-device, pharmaceuticals, automotive, food and electronics — is launching a series of new features across its full range of inspection machines.

These include multi-language support and updated inspection features designed to allow systems to be used in more-diverse production environments.

IVS’s new multi-language support means that process information can now be displayed in real time between supported
languages; these include English, Chinese, French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish and Czech — and languages can be switched during the automatic operation of the system.

With regard to inspection capabilities, IVS now offers an improved integrated inspection capability that enables pattern matching using geometric contour features.

This allows more-robust ‘feature extraction’, especially in environments of uneven illumination or obscured objects, and it will help functions such as part verification, pattern recognition, label checking and robot positioning.

Meanwhile, improved data handling now allows large sets of inspection data and images to be visualised with live updates of information registers on the machine interface.

This allows for faster feedback and control and gives production and quality managers better information on the quality levels achieved in their factories.

IVS director Earl Yardley said: “We are continuing to innovate and improve our product offering.

“The additional multi-language features benefit our customers by increasing productivity and allowing our vision system solutions to be deployed globally.

“Our solutions continue to be developed using the very latest machine vision algorithms and industry-defining usability for automated visual inspection machines.”
