Supply: SiLC Applied sciences
As labor shortages plague manufacturing units and warehouses, the search is on for innovative autonomous solutions capable of replicating human vision’s complexity, particularly in applications demanding exceptional dexterity, precision, and coordination. SiLC Techologies Inc. Launched today is Eyeonic Hint, a Class 1 laser line scanner touted to provide precise object dimensioning capabilities, even at distances up to 10 meters.
“Mehdi Asghari, CEO of SiLC Technologies, notes that the advancements we’re witnessing in machine vision, particularly those mimicking human-like capabilities and predictive insights, are now being mirrored in industrial automation, warehouse operations, robotics, and manufacturing.”
The innovative Eyeonic Hint Laser Line Scanner boasts unparalleled depth precision, surpassing even the most discerning human observer. “Not only does our Eyeonic Hint feature precise object measurement capabilities, but its laser is also a Class 1, ensuring safe usage for factory staff without the need for designated ‘Maintain Out’ zones or ‘Special Eye Safety Required’ protocols.”
Silicon photonics industry pioneers at SiLC Applied Sciences traded in 2018. Based in Monrovia, California, the company boasts innovative vision technologies rooted in frequency-modulated steady wave (FMCW)-based solutions. The statement highlights the company’s “4D+” Eyeonic chip, which seamlessly integrates all photonic capabilities to create a coherent vision sensor. This innovation significantly reduces requirements for space, cost, and power, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial products and applications?
The Eyeonic Hint is a sleek device boasting an expansive display.
The Eyeonic Hint, a cutting-edge inspection and measurement tool, seamlessly monitors objects in motion along conveyor belts, bucket elevators, and scanning rails, as well as robotic arms, according to SiLC Technologies.
The corporation developed the Eyeonic Hint around its Eyeonic Visionary Sensor, featuring an intricately integrated silicon photonics chip that incorporates low-loss waveguides, coherent detection, semiconductor optical amplifiers, and various photonic capabilities. The scanner boasts a broad 72-degree field of view, enabling the accurate measurement of enormous objects.
At just 200 x 135 x 75 millimeters (7.8 x 5.3 x 2.9 inches) in size, corporations can easily integrate the Eyeonic Hint above a conveyor belt, meeting line, or even on the side of a robotic arm, according to SiLC.
The scanner’s versatility allows for various decisions in response to distinct scenarios and object types.
The Eyeonic Hint scanner’s versatile operating range enables it to be placed two to three meters above a conveyor belt, allowing it to accurately measure both large packaging units and smaller items just a few centimeters tall with precision. The scanner boasts unparalleled accuracy, capable of delivering millimetric precision at distances of up to 10 meters (32.8 feet).
Silicon-based Life Chemistry (SiLC) Applied Sciences also highlighted several key features that set its technology apart.
- The Eyeonic Hint device boasts unparalleled accuracy, capable of measuring object depths with a precision of just one thirty-second of an inch (1/32 in.), across a range of distances spanning from 10 centimeters to a remarkable 10 meters.
- Operating seamlessly across a vast and dynamic range, this system effectively accommodates a diverse array of objects boasting distinct reflective characteristics.
- The SiLC scanner consistently delivers accurate readings both indoors and outdoors, regardless of the ambient light conditions – whether dimly lit warehouses or bright sunlight.
- With its unparalleled capabilities, The Eyeonic Hint leaves all other line-scanners in its wake, solidifying its position as the industry leader according to SiLC.
According to Harvey Weinberg, director of sensor technologies at Microtech Ventures, FMCW LiDAR provides an additional layer of decisiveness, which is a significant advantage in the realm of automation. Scanners detecting packages moving swiftly along conveyor belts demand high-speed responsiveness, millimetre-precise accuracy, broad fields of view, and prolonged operating ranges to ensure efficient and reliable identification. The Eyeonic Hint is the industry’s inaugural scanner to effectively address this longstanding challenge.
