Innovation at work—the Promation Vision Lab

The cornerstone of our machine vision practice, the Promation Vision Lab is used for the testing of customers’ applications to minimize a risk of miscalculation and reduce delivery time. The Vision Lab is for training and strengthening our internal teams, and for demonstrating vision solutions to our customers prior to placing an order.

For our clients, the Vision lab offers an opportunity to set up a real-world challenge in the lab, and allows Promation to innovate a solution, and undertake proof-of-concept studies without shutting down your assembly line. The Vision lab lets us test:

Cameras—optimizing the camera type and specification for the application

Lighting—how does light in your facility affect your application

Lensing—does your solution require macro- or micro-lensing

Filtering—how will filtering impact your vision application
