Automatic visual inspection systems (AVIS), also known as machine vision systems or automated optical inspection (AOI) systems, are advanced technologies engineered to automatically inspect and analyze objects or products through the utilization of cameras, sensors, and image processing algorithms. This system offers a dependable and efficient means of inspecting products within manufacturing environments, diminishing the reliance on manual inspection and bolstering productivity while ensuring consistent product quality.
Key types of automatic visual inspection systems include 2D systems, 3D systems, camera systems, machine vision systems, PC-based systems, and others. 2D AVIS are automated technologies specifically designed for inspecting and identifying defects in two-dimensional surfaces or products. These systems encompass various components such as hardware, software, and services, utilized for surface inspection, quality control, measurement, and other applications across industries including automotive, semiconductor and electronics, food and beverage, packaging, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and others.
