Process Industry Informer, May 2009
By Clarke Esler, Industrial Video and Control
The ability to integrate various components of a security or process monitoring system under a single interface is key for most HMI and SCADA applications. The migration of SCADA, control and monitoring components, and cameras to IP networks provides for added flexibility and easier deployment and management. Security Technology Value Engineering: Mistakes to Avoid
Building Operating Management, May 2009
By Sean A. Ahrens
Consider the time it takes to review an incident on an analog security camera system. That review may require hours and possibly days. New digital camera recording technologies allow security investigators to review footage from multiple security cameras simultaneously, rather than individually. Capturing the Moment
Vision Systems Design, April 2009
By Andrew Wilson
In choosing a high-speed camera for a specific application—whether it is for factory automation or destructive testing—it is often assumed that a high-speed camera must capture a sequence of events at high speed. However, this is not always the case. A lower-cost CCD- or CMOS-based camera may be all that is required. Making the Most of Thermal Imaging Data
Power, April 2009
By Gary Updegraff
One of the tools available to identify areas of possible failure is the thermal imaging camera, which can capture an image and rapidly display areas of varying temperatures in different colors without contact. This article discusses planning, operation, and documentation procedures designed to effectively use a thermal imaging camera as a critical element in an effective reliability program. Machine Vision: Networking Insight
Industrial Automation Asia, April 2009
By Henning Tiarks, Basler Vision Technologies
GigE Vision is an interface standard based on Ethernet and made to meet the needs of the machine vision industry. The GigE Vision standard is built on Ethernet technology. Standard Ethernet hardware, architecture, and network structure can be used in any system that incorporates GigE Vision.

By National Instruments
The use of proper lighting is often overlooked when designing a machine vision application. More robust and accurate inspections can be achieved when appropriate lighting techniques are utilized. This application note discusses considerations when selecting lighting equipment and demonstrates how to utilize the Direct Drive lighting controller feature on the NI 17xx Smart Camera with LabVIEW or Vision Builder for Automated Inspection. Automated Inspection & Gaging Systems Improve Quality and Reduce Costs
By Cincinnati Automation
As machine vision inspection cameras and laser gaging sensors have become more cost effective, many companies are implementing automated inspection & gaging systems in their facilities. These systems can be as simple as standalone cameras or sensors integrated into existing machinery or as specialized as custom designed and built turnkey automated inspection machines. Video Monitoring Helps in Tough Economic Times
By Steve Rubin, Longwatch
Video monitoring can help companies survive through layoffs, plant closings, and idling of plants. The white paper explains that when plants have layoffs or shut down, much work remains to be done, often by a severely reduced workforce. Video can help pick up the workload.

Control Engineering, May 2009
By Sarah Sookman, Matrox Imaging
Operators sometimes employ clever and often low-tech strategies for bypassing a vision-based label quality-control system. CI Vision implemented a three-part strategy to ensure the system inspects 100% of the products. Machine vision sorts cotton fibers
Vision Systems Design, April 2009
Premier Evolvics in India, manufacturer of quality testing and online monitoring equipment for the textile industry, upgraded its fiber testing machines by switching to digital cameras. Cotton samples are placed in a box with a transparent bottom and inspected by a built-in camera. The images are processed by software evaluating the fiber length, color quality, and the percentage of dark particles (trash).
