Smart Vision Lights at PackExpo

SVL | September 2019

The PackExpo was September 23-25, 2019 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. With over 30,000 packaging professionals, 2,000 top industry suppliers, and free educational presentations, this event was incredible.

Although Smart Vision Lights didn't exhibit at this particular show, we did spot a few of our lights on display:

Tensor ID showed one of our S75-WHI brick lights while their system was performing a label verification and lot ID.
JLS Automation featured our ODLW300 in its Talon pick-and-place robot.
Kawasaki Robotics used our RL300 flat dome for large field of view pick-and-place applications.
Fanuc Robotics displayed our SmartVisionLink App along with our LZE300.
Hamamatsu had our SWIR demo as part of their exhibit area.

We are happy to support our partners and customers who are exhibiting at any show with sample products. Those who are interested in adding SVL products to their exhibit should get in-touch with their sales contacts.

Bridging the Gap on Fully Integrated Smart Vision Systems

In a typical machine vision system, camera, optics, and lighting each have their own performance criteria and control schemes. If there is any communication between these components, it's vendor specific and proprietary. The vision industry has worked to standardize the physical interface of the camera component and implement GenICam as a common API to program all recognized imagers, but the standardization of the interface has not extended to lens and lighting components, which limits joint commands or interoperation between all vision components within a system.

However, recent efforts by Smart Vision Lights have helped successfully incorporate smart lighting into the GenICam standard and subsequent initiatives have aimed to do the same for optics. When completed, these initiatives will allow GenICam to serve as a common control layer between cameras, lenses, and lighting. In practical terms, this could lead to turnkey vision systems that support true plug-and-play commissioning, fully integrated control, and simpler synchronization of all components.

Join our webinar on October 16th to learn what more fully integrated machine vision systems can achieve, and how they could become possible soon.

SVL at TriPhase Automation Innovation Showcase

Earlier this month we exhibited at the TriPhase Automation Innovation Showcase. The event took place on September 10th in Pewaukee, WI. This event was incredibly valuable and informative with their demonstrations, technology sessions, and the latest on automation trends.

Smart Vision Lights at HTE Open House
