Machine Vision for Automated Inspection, Code Reading, and Barcode Verification

Aerospace and defense manufacturers and suppliers must comply with strict regulations for code parameters, traceability, and part quality. To consistently meet these requirements at scale, many are turning to machine vision. Machine vision systems combine cameras and processing software to automate visual tasks, enabling manufacturers to reliably read codes, verify text, and inspect components in challenging
environments.

Common Industry Challenges

  • Complex parts: Complicated features, surface finishes, and part geometries make it hard to find defects and separate them from acceptable anomalies.
  • Intricate designs: Assemblies can include dozens of parts, making it difficult to verify everything is correctly assembled.
  • Regulatory requirements: Codes and parts must meet strict compliance standards and quality tolerances.
  • Manual processes and production bottlenecks: Manually inspecting parts and transcribing codes is time-consuming, error-prone, and inconsistent.
