In an era of just-in-time supply chains and e-commerce, efficient logistics stands as a critical necessity across all industries. Machine Vision plays a pivotal role in optimizing processes, enhancing efficiency, and ensuring precision in various logistical applications.
One significant application lies in the identification and tracking of packages. Machine vision is employed to read barcodes, matrix codes, text (OCR), or other markings on packages, enabling swift and accurate processing in sorting centers and distribution facilities.
Within warehouse management and inventory control, these systems serve to identify products, track inventory, and detect discrepancies such as shortages or misplaced items. In warehouses, they are also utilized in automated picking processes, analyzing the location and positioning of items for precise retrieval. Dimensional measurement is another application crucial for calculating shipping costs and optimizing transport space. Machine Vision is also applied in vehicle detection and tracking within logistics premises, facilitating efficient organization of loading and unloading operations, along with traffic flow monitoring.
Furthermore, autonomous vehicles are assuming an increasingly vital role in intralogistics. Using cameras and image processing, these vehicles can autonomously navigate, perceive their surroundings, and move safely within warehouses or production facilities. Autonomous vehicles enhance efficiency, reduce accident risks, and allow flexible adaptation to changing operational conditions.
The integration of Machine Vision into logistics processes contributes to enhancing transparency, precision, and efficiency throughout the supply chain.
Several criteria play a significant role in selecting lenses for the logistics industry:
A wide FOV may be necessary for monitoring multiple packages or warehouse shelves simultaneously, while a narrow FOV is essential for accurately identifying barcodes or markings.
Should match the lighting conditions. In warehouses with constant lighting, the aperture can remain constant. For outdoor systems with changing lighting conditions, an adjustable iris aperture may be necessary (P-Iris, DC-Iris).
Critical for reliable inspections, high-quality lenses with high resolution and color accuracy ensure the dependable capture of barcodes, license plates, and other visual features.
By carefully considering these criteria, you can ensure that your optical systems meet the specific requirements of your logistical processes.
