Industrial Eye places a strong emphasis on staying abreast of the technologies most needed by customers in our target industries.
What sets us apart is our commitment and agility in concepting, developing and deploying the right solution based on the many complexities of machine vision.

1, Location is everything - that is, the location of lighting, location of the cameras, location of the fixturing, location of the debris/oil on parts, etc.
2, The 80/20 rule - 80% of your project labor will be spent on the last 20% of the job.
3, There's probably an easier way - in many cases, machine vision can be replaced or augmented with other sensing technologies that may work differently, but equally well.
4, Vision bites back - vision projects can have more natural variability than other controls projects and often surprise newcomers with the extent of the discovery period and testing required to develop a project specification.
5, Murphy is watching so work with Pro's - assemble a team that contains specialists in I/O, optics & lighting, control, vision programming, mechanical design, networking, etc., to support the deployment.
6, Orders of 10 - a new phenomenon, thought to be unlikely or impossible, will emerge at roughly 1,000 parts, 10,000 parts, 100,000 parts, etc. Robust systems must be adaptable and predictive.
7, If the plant doesn't want it, it won't work - day to day buy-in from process and maintenance staffs is critical to the successful deployment of any project, but especially so for vision systems that typically require PM.
8, Shift Happens! - a client who believes that the properties of parts will not shift or that process variability is completely in control (prior to a study with real optical gear) is quite possibly being naïve.
9, Cheap gear costs double - components chosen on price typically disappoint the whole team.
10, Miracles out of nowhere - in many cases, a technology applied in a different industry can hold the key to a novel or breakaway approach to your application.
