Whether it’s in retail, robotics, or quality inspection, our customers today are finding ways to leverage AI to merge multiple different components at once instead of having a single line for one component. While the attention of the masses may gravitate toward robots and AI, machine vision remains an indispensable and increasingly vital technology for businesses of all types around the world. In this episode of Manufacturing Matters, Jason Covar and Jeremy Bergh of The Imaging Source joined...

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) technology is sparking transformations in applications as diverse as LiDAR systems, agri-food, and hyperscale data centers. But manufacturing PICs at scale demands a level of complexity beyond the scope of any single company. It will take an ecosystem. That is the principle behind PhotonDelta’s alliance of materials foundries, PIC designers, chip packaging firms, and other technology partners working together to fulfill the promise of PICs technology.

Whether you’re programming robots, working in a clean room environment or a dirty steel mill, people working in manufacturing jobs can make a fantastic living and should be proud. Industrial cables are the silent technology that keeps the PLC connected to the HMI and the robot connected to the controller. In some ways, the only time that people think of cables is when there is a problem with one, according to Jay Swank, Business Development Manager – North America, Lynxeo. In this episode of ...

“Let's not treat the humans like a robot. Let's treat the robot like a robot.” Welding and fabrication can be tedious and unfulfilling when you’re creating the same part over and over. This is just one factor that’s making welders harder to find around the globe. While some manufacturers have invested in traditional robotic welding cells to handle repetitive tasks, they’re often prohibitively expensive and hard to use.

How do image sensor companies approach new product development? Oftentimes it involves developing custom products for customers and then using the resulting IP as new products. Sometimes, however, these products that may target specific applications such as machine vision end up adding value far beyond the factory floor, from surgical guidance to indoor pet monitoring. If a camera can produce a crisp image for a customer, ultimately its intended use is of no consequence. In this episode of Ma...
