https://www.3dinfotech.com/
There continues to be exponential growth in automation, robotics, and sensor technology with capability of realizing the industrial internet of things (IIOT) and Industry 4.0. However there has previously never been a universal or common interface between the two most critical technologies, robotics and the 2D/3D vision sensors, which would allow manufacturers to remove inspection and quality control bottlenecks and thus directly improve profit margins. Custom integration projects are difficult to manage and present substantial risks that typically are only overcome with the significant investments only Fortune 500 organizations have access to. Moreover, custom projects are slow to deploy and deliver results. Because of these challenges integration of robotics and metrology have seen a slower adoption rate in the past.
