ADVANTECH
Precise Inspection For High Speed Production Lines
 Awareness of food safety has increased in recent years, with consumers paying more attention to ingredients, places of origin, and other details when they purchase grocery items. Clear and accurate labeling applied to food products during processing helps consumers make informed choices and maintain peace of mind. The food industry has implemented automated production for many years, with well-evolved procedures for filling, labeling, and shipping. A current challenge for System Integrators involves helping assist food manufacturers with the rapid checking of trademarks and labels on existing, high-speed, automated production lines. Read more ›
FRAMOS
3D System Supports Visually Impaired in Daily Life
 In cooperation with the CDTM institute of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), FRAMOS® has developed an innovative wearable using real-time 3D technology to support visually impaired people in daily life. The glasses are equipped with the latest Intel® RealSense™ stereo cameras, intelligent algorithms translate the visual impression into haptic and audio information. While audio information relies on object and character recognition, the haptic feedback is provided by a wrist band equipped with vibration motors. This new way of sensing enables visually impaired people to fully understand their environment and to have advanced guidance for safe navigation. Read more ›
