Color vision systems

VisionPro PC-vision systems now feature color capabilities, including dedicated tools for color sorting, color identification and color monitoring. The tools provide color detection in automated inspection and quality assurance applications. Applications include use in the food industry to detect spoilage, to determine fat content of meat products or to sort fruits and vegetables by type or ripeness. The capabilities allow beverage manufacturers to verify label, cap and product color, and pharmaceutical manufacturers can use them to identify tablets and capsules of similar sizes and shapes. Automotive manufacturers can use them to match the color of interior plastic parts and to verify use of proper components.
