I’ve heard that vision systems are very expensive. How much is it going to cost me?
That’s not at all true these days. While end-of-line (EOL) inspection systems, that try to inspect all the parameters at once, cost a lot, there is a new class of low-cost vision systems called vision based poka-yoke systems that is changing the paradigm of how inspection is done. Modern production practices are moving away from the end-of-line (EOL) inspection philosophy to the poka-yoke method of inspection where the component/assembly is checked after every critical operation. Soliton’s complete vision based poka-yoke systems cost under Rs 2 lakhs ($5000) as compared to EOL systems that cost 5 or more times this amount.
