Industrial Machine Vision Systems in Bengaluru
Vision Automation installs camera inspection on production machines in Bengaluru. Each system answers a specific question about the part — is it there, is it in tolerance, is it the right code — and gives that answer to the PLC and to a log.
The camera is one part of the station. Lighting, the trigger from the machine, the pass/fail output, and the record of what was seen all have to match the cycle time and the way the line already runs. We integrate the inspection into that cycle instead of leaving it as a separate bench check.
Inspection tasks
-
Presence and identity
- Presence and absence of a part or feature
- Barcode and QR verification
- Confirmation that the code matches the selected model
-
Quality of the part
- Dimensional inspection of a defined feature
- Defect detection for the defects the process actually produces
- Measurements that can be stored with the cycle
-
Line integration
- Camera-to-PLC communication
- PASS and FAIL handling in the machine sequence
- Inspection result logging and traceability
Camera-to-PLC communication
The machine should not guess. A trigger tells the camera when the part is in position. The vision result returns as a pass, a fail, or a measurement the PLC can compare. Communication follows the link already used on the station: Ethernet, serial, or a digital handshake, including Modbus where that is the PLC’s protocol. Controller-side work sits with PLC programming.
PASS and FAIL handling
A pass releases the next step. A fail holds the part, requests a recheck, or diverts it — whichever behaviour the machine design and the quality plan require. The rule is agreed before the software is written, and it is tested on the station with real parts.
Inspection logging and traceability
A result that only flashes on a screen is gone at the end of the shift. Inspection records are written with the time, the model, the pass/fail decision, and the measurements or code that were read. Those records support traceability when a batch has to be reviewed later. The same approach is described in the machine vision inspection project and in production traceability.
Dashboards
Operators see the current image decision and the running count of pass and fail. Where the plant wants trends or a shift report, the same records feed an industrial dashboard. The dashboard does not replace the PLC interlock. It shows what the station already decided.
Where vision sits in a larger line
Vision is often added during a retrofit or a new station build. Mechanical changes, guarding, and the motion sequence stay with the industrial automation scope. If the camera result must be stored beside other process values, that storage is part of Industrial IoT and industrial data logging.
