Factory Automation

Factory automation technologies typically involve robotics, motion control, integrated manufacturing systems, programmable logic control systems, machine vision systems, and so forth. For well known and constrained factory automation challenges, off the shelf solutions can easily be applied (such as bar coding, simple condition event control, optical character recognition, etc.). The real engineering challenge arises in resolving quality control and business process improvements for complex and often unpredictable problems. In those cases, selection of the appropriate solution to particular requirements can be a daunting task even for a seasoned engineer or consultant.

For most, the process of continual business improvement includes refinement of existing factory automation methodologies and processes. Once you move beyond the easily tackled issues, the more complex multi-faceted issues remain. It is in these tough items that the biggest benefits normally accrue.

How to ensure proper action based upon diverse product quality, process variability, and/or multi conditional factors is where innovation is required. There is often a range of automation demands that require flexible, customizable, configurable, fault tolerant, redundant, and highly intelligent systems. This is where Boulder Imaging's depth and breadth of experience in solving complex factory automation challenges really pays off.

Boulder Imaging tools allow you to capture particular factory activities, utilizing digital recording technologies, with the goal of improving the overall operation. Operational improvement includes, but is not limited to, defect analysis and detection, variable decision making, and action based upon continual real time data inspection and analysis. Below is a list of some of the custom designed capabilities that can be brought to bear in resolving complex issues:

  • Capture and aggregation of visual and non visual data
  • Non invasive and environmentally sensitive data capture
  • Capture of irregular and/or non sequential incidents for examination and appropriate remediation
  • Complex and multi/mega variable decision making
  • Defect and root cause detection
  • Ruggedized systems
