Розумна камера для простих задач сортування.

Abstract

Urgency of the research. Attendance time places great emphasis on the production cavity. No manufacturing enterprise can afford to neglect the automation and modernization of its processes. That's why a company focused on manufacturing automotive accessories has turned to us.

Target setting. Output checkboxes prepared at the end of the production process were made by people. This control was unreliable and its reliability was diminishing with the increasing working time. An increasing number of claimed cases required the company to choose a new solution to the problem. We were asked to design a workplace using a camera to read the box descriptions so that it could be followed by palletizing. The second goal was to consider the possibility of subsequent robotization.

Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. We do not deal with the basic principles of image processing. Basic image processing performs camera software and uses the higher search features of objects.

The research objective. In this article, we are working on implementing the visual system into real-life operation. Design a simple solution that meets customer requirements, whose economic return would be interesting.

The statement of basic materials. We use a simple camera with area capture. It captures frames as an area map of pixels. Basic black and white transition detection is selected for basic object recognition. A description made on white paper that is used as a box description makes it easy to recognize objects in the background.

Conclusions. The proposed test facility consists of a frame, a camera and a conveyor. The workplace produces only 25 cubes per minute under test conditions. To increase productivity, it is advisable to extend the number of posts. The camera was also selected for its ability to communicate with the robot interface. The program creates code that is compatible with the robot's control program and defines the position of the goods in the space. This makes it easy to connect and then robo­tize the workstation if the company decides for this solution.
