An open smart camera for custom AI vision – without the external PC

Deploying AI-based machine vision typically requires separate processing hardware, adding cost, complexity, and potential failure points to the system architecture. Alecs addresses this by combining Allied Vision’s Alvium camera platform with an NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ System on Module in a single IP67-rated housing – giving engineers a fully open hardware foundation to develop, deploy, and scale…

3D vision enables robots to “see” in the carpentry industry

As in many industrial areas, automation is advancing in furniture production as well. One example of this is MAB Möbel AG from Switzerland: with the support of HOMAG Bohrsysteme GmbH and MVTec Software GmbH, this furniture manufacturer automated the loading process around a vertical CNC machining center with robotic handling. Using MVTec HALCON, a robot picks…

Variable frequency drives in mechanical engineering: practical explanations of applications and use cases

VFDs have long been more than just “speed controllers” in mechanical engineering. They are a process tool that turns a rigid mains supply into a variably controllable motor supply – and thus turns “on/off” into a movement that can be specifically adapted to the product, process, and environment. Technically speaking, a VFD converts the constant mains voltage and mains frequency…
