Vision Sensor Market Overview

Vision sensor is a device integrated with a camera or imaging system to capture visual information. Vision sensors use images or visual data a camera captures to determine parts' orientation, presence, and accuracy. These sensors simplify construction and operation using a single unit's camera, light, and controller. Vision sensors are mainly used to detect defective objects, character recognition, sorting objects, and measurement of the size of objects, among others. A network of vision sensors can be easily linked to plant and enterprise networks, which allows factories to view images, results, and data for process control. Vision sensors offer Significant benefits such as quickly integrating into larger systems, offering built-in ethernet communications, requiring programming, and exchanging data with other systems to communicate results by triggering subsequent stages of an inspection.
