From January 24th for three days, we will unveil a multi-camera imaging demo of our AI visual inspection solution "HACARUS Check for FANUC CRX Series" at the Smart Factory EXPO held at Tokyo Big Sight. ◾️ About the Multi-Camera Option The AI visual inspection solution "HACARUS Check for FANUC CRX Series" is being developed with the intention of providing camera hoods tailored to our customers' work and requirements. Recently, there has been an increase in inquiries regarding AI visual inspection for large parts such as engine blocks. Therefore, we have been exploring and validating imaging methods that can accommodate heavy and large workpieces while minimizing inspection time. The multi-camera option we will demonstrate incorporates five cameras and lighting within the hood, allowing inspection time to be reduced to one-fourth of that of existing products. <Exhibition Overview> Name: 8th Smart Factory EXPO - Manufacturing Innovation through IoT/AI/FA https://www.fiweek.jp/tokyo/ja-jp/about/sfe.html Dates: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Organizer: RX Japan Co., Ltd.
