To streamline the production of COVID-19 test kits, automated assembly of the tests is necessary. The test kits consist of several components. To automate their assembly, the rotation direction as well as the prone/ spine position of the individual parts must be determined. Only then can the kits be correctly assembled by the machine.

In automobile production, different vehicle variants are manufactured on one and the same production line. In order to ensure that the correct type of 
tank nozzle has been installed in the correct vehicle, a vision sensor should carry out a type check.

In automated automobile production, it is important to check whether the correct fuel hoses and clamps have been installed. The components are to be checked with the aid of a vision sensor.

In automobile manufacturing, the switches on the dashboard vary depending on the vehicle model.
To ensure that the correct switches have been installed in the correct vehicle, a vision sensor should carry out a type check.

Vibration spiral conveyors can be used for sorting, conveying and transporting a wide variety of small parts and connecting elements.
Springs, screws, nuts, pins, washers, caps and special elements are sorted and made available for automatic further processing. Different batches with different springs can be processed in a vibratory bowl feeder. Getting the wrong springs down the line will result in rejects and/or machine damage. A vision sensor is used to ensure that the correct spring type is fed.

In food production, different products (such as pre-packaged salads) are often processed simultaneously on a single line. A vision sensor ensures that the correct product type is processed and packaged, and inspection results are delivered in real time.

In automotive manufacturing, small fasteners secure components, such as attaching the door side trim to a car door. Missing fasteners can cause parts to loosen, so it’s essential to confirm that all are present and in place before assembly.

Throughout the production process, a large quantity of data is generated that has to be monitored and checked. The operator must be able to consult, manage and evaluate this data easily in order to identify and implement any necessary modifications to the process.
