New AI tool simplifies counting inspections
for manufacturers across all industries
NATICK, Mass., Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cognex Corporation
(NASDAQ: CGNX), the leader in industrial machine vision, expanded
the capabilities of its In-Sight SnAPP™ vision sensor with the
launch of an AI-enabled counting tool. This innovative software
tool transforms how manufacturers handle counting tasks, allowing
them to easily automate assembly verification and quantity checks
that were previously time-consuming or prone to error. This
advanced AI technology also provides an ease of use that lets more
manufacturers accurately count challenging part types including
objects of similar size, reflective and distorted parts, and
objects with varying contrasts and shapes.
"Using cutting-edge AI technology and our easy-to-use vision
sensors, we're now providing our customers with a counting solution
that not only enhances accuracy and efficiency but also simplifies
the user experience," said Lavanya Manohar, Senior Vice
President of Products. "We're excited to see how this innovation
will benefit manufacturers worldwide and continue making automation
more accessible."
Powered by AI, the new tool reliably identifies and counts
objects to ensure consistent quality control, without complex
programming. Image-based training, guided setup, and embedded AI
allow operators of all skill levels to quickly and effectively
solve counting tasks, eliminating the need for complex setups or
extensive training.
Suitable for a wide range of industries, the counting tool can
be set up in minutes to perform a range of tasks.
- Food and beverage producers can easily count the number of food
products in final packaging to ensure completeness.
- Pharmaceutical companies can verify the correct count of
vaccine vials or count pills in a blister pack.
- Automotive manufacturers can quickly count modules in
an EV battery pack tray to confirm proper assembly and avoid
recalls.
The In-Sight SnAPP vision sensor was first released in
September 2023 and is designed to
solve common quality control tasks including presence/absence
detection, basic inspections, classification, and now counting
applications. For more information about In-Sight SnAPP, visit
