THE NEED FOR

AUTOMATED INSPECTION

Increased throughput, higher quality, and lower
costs are key drivers for automated inspection in
manufacturing. Manual inspection can be slow,
prone to errors, and often impossible considering
the product size, lighting conditions, or line speed.

Given these factors, companies in a wide range of
industries rely on vision sensors to perform simple
pass/fail inspections that help ensure products
and packaging are error-free and meet strict
quality standards. Cognex vision sensors provide
easy and reliable inspections thanks to powerful
vision tools, integrated lighting, modularity, and an
easy-to-use setup environment.
