The company’s 250 engineers, computer and natural scientists work and conduct research on a daily basis, aiming to create a sustainable and connected world. With the new innovation unit, the full-service provider for industrial automation and digitalization has formed an additional development unit for intelligent image processing with AI. Its mission is to shape the production and processes of the future through image processing and machine vision – for example, for 24/7 quality control and error detection through visual inspection.
Cost savings for customers, traceability, and 100% reliability are the driving forces behind the new unit. The company is a development partner for systems and customer-internal processes in production and intralogistics: with forward-looking solutions and control systems for controlling individual systems or lines via Eckelmann FactoryWare Solutions. Complemented by seamless material tracking for the entire warehouse management via Eckelmann FactoryWare Logistics.
The Vision AI team conducts future-oriented trials at the test center using real customer products to perfect automation and significantly reduce commissioning times. Its establishment is part of the company‘s strategy to use machine vision to anticipate and shape the needs of industries, making use of smart camera systems, innovative technologies, and AI software solutions.
