Frequently asked questions
What information is needed for a vision feasibility study?
Representative good and defective samples, defect definitions, part variation, line speed, available space and the required pass/fail action are useful starting inputs.
Can the system inspect more than one feature?
A vision station can combine multiple checks when the imaging conditions, cycle time and product presentation support them.
Can inspection results be stored?
Result storage and traceability can be designed into the architecture based on data volume, retention and plant-system requirements.

What identification technologies can be used?
The selection may include 1D/2D barcodes, QR codes or RFID depending on the product, environment, read point and data requirement.
Can traceability integrate with ERP or MES?
Yes, where interfaces are available. The scope must define ownership of data, event models, protocols, security and exception handling.
Is serialization the same as aggregation?
Serialization assigns a unique identity. Aggregation records parent-child relationships between units, cases, pallets or other packaging levels.
