Machine Vision Sales in North America Grow 10% in First Quarter 2014

Total sales of machine vision components and systems grew 10% in first quarter 2014, according to new statistics issued by AIA, the industry’s trade group.

Total machine vision sales include sales of machine vision components and systems. Total machine components grew 29% in the first quarter, while total machine vision system grew six percent. These results are in contrast to what we saw last year, when machine vision systems led the way in terms of growth.

Every component and system category increased in first quarter 2014, but cameras (36%), lighting (32%), and software (25%) led the way.

“We’re pleased to see such a positive start to the year for machine vision sales in North America,” said AIA President Jeff Burnstein. “It’s particularly promising to see machine vision components post such a strong quarter, and we’re hopeful that continues throughout the year.”

“Our most recent survey of industry experts shows that AIA membership is indeed optimistic about machine vision components,” added Alex Shikany, AIA’s Director of Market Analysis. “Respondents expect every component category, except for imaging boards, to grow over the next six months.”

In addition to its sales tracking report, AIA currently offers its 2013 Machine Vision Camera Market Study, which is available at a discounted rate to AIA members.  AIA also prepares studies on special topics, such as Life Sciences, which it makes available to all AIA members free of charge on Vision Online.

About AIA

Founded in 1984 to advance the understanding and use of imaging and vision technologies and to drive global expansion and growth through education and promotion, AIA now represents over 325 vision suppliers, system integrators, users, researchers, and consulting firms from 32 countries.

Smart Thermal Cameras secure Major Utility

Sightlogix Smart thermal cameras systems have been deployed to protect substations for a major electric utility serving the eastern United States.

Sightsensor thermal systems enable the utility to detect and respond to substation security incidents across multiple sites, ranging from copper theft to vandalism while also meeting regulatory compliance.

Since being installed, the Sightlogix system has successfully detected several unauthorized substation security intrusions, allowing the utility to prevent security violations before damage could occur.

At each substation facility, thermal Sightsensors are positioned along the perimeter, and are paired with a high resolution pan tilt zoom camera for alarm assessment. When a thermal Sightsensor detects an intruder, the target’s location information is sent over the network to a Sighttracker PTZ controller, which automatically zooms and steers PTZ cameras to follow the intruder. The target’s location is also displayed on a topology site map to provide real-time situational awareness. Alarms are sent to the utility’s 24-hour security operations centre, which will contact law enforcement in real time when unauthorised intrusions are detected.

According to the utility’s corporate security director, the Sightlogix solution has provided excellent detection with minimal nuisance alarms. Sightlogix Smart thermal cameras are designed to detect with a high degree of accuracy outdoors, in complete darkness, low-light, bright sun, and difficult weather conditions.

The utility and their security integration firm also reported much lower costs associated with the Sightlogix system. By selecting long-range and wide area Sightsensors, the integrator was able to reduce the number of devices otherwise needed to protect each substation, lowering infrastructure and maintenance costs. The utility also reports that the ruggedised Sightlogix system has stood up well to the elements, and has been a very easy system to install, setup and maintain.

The utility serves several million customers in their coverage territory, which includes various types and classifications of electrical transmission substations, which must comply with North American Electric Reliability Corporation, Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC CIP) regulations. The electrical utility plans to continue installing Sightlogix systems at additional sites, with emphasis on higher-risk substation security locations.

“Threats to electrical assets can take many forms," said John Romanowich, President and CEO, Sightlogix. “Vandalism, theft, and sabotage can cause disruptions in operations and serious safety concerns with far-reaching repercussions. These installations exemplify how smart thermal solutions are being used today to protect assets of the nation’s power grid."

Sightlogix systems are being used at utilities throughout North America, Canada, Europe and the Middle East, protecting assets that include substations, solar farms, hydro facilities, power transmission and distribution, and nuclear power plants.

New Calibrated 3d Machine Vision Inspection From Cognex

Cognex Corporation (NASDAQ: CGNX), the world's leading supplier of machine vision systems, has announced the release of the new DS1000 3D laser profiling system. The system calibrates real-world units of measurement for inspections too difficult to perform with traditional two-dimensional machine vision. The new DS1000 3D sensor:
  • Reads embossed or raised characters such as those on automobile tires
  • Verifies the presence of low-contrast items in boxes or packages
  • Identifies surface defects and chips with low or no contrast
  • Measures heights and tilts of components to determine misalignment
  • Calculates volumes and dimensions for food portioning.

“The DS1000 3D sensor is factory-calibrated to provide real units of measurement with micron-level accuracy, making 3D applications easier to understand and deploy,” says Joerg Kuechen, Business Unit Manager for Cognex Vision Software. Kuechen adds, “Unlike other laser profilers, the DS1000 system is integrated with VisionPro® software, the most robust 3D vision tool set in the industry. With VisionPro, users can also add GigE cameras for 2D inspection tasks.”

DS1000 is an integrated system; a Cognex proprietary high speed sensor and laser are both enclosed in an IP65-rated industrial housing. DS1000 is available now. Watch a demo video and learn more at http://mvrpl.com/products_cognex.html.
