35 Extrusion 1/2017 Data Management Communicative connection of all production components – translating the vision of “Industry 4.0”. With its Touch & Inspect system architecture, ISRA VISION creates one essential prerequisite for its implementation: Wi-Fi- controlled surface inspection systems integrate into a collaborative network that provides, shares and uses data with maximum efficiency. Users gain full transparency of their production at all times and more adaptable inspec- tion technology than ever before. faces with a high resolution and to pro- cess the high data volumes generated in real time. Efficient use of information – directly inline Touch & Inspect is a core element of fu- ture-oriented factory automation. Its combination of proven inspection tech- nology, connectible modular compo- nents and comprehensive data integra- tion guarantees that production results are shown efficiently, transparently and in detail in real time. Connection with other IT systems is much easier. The EPROMI business intelligence software makes all data available – throughout the company and globally. Data ex- change is easy across all decision-making levels and in various degrees of detail, depending on requirements and access rights. Exchanging data in the opposite direction is just as simple, giving the inspection systems maximum adaptabili- ty and easy data handling. T ouch & Inspect upgrades ISRA VISI- ON's SMASH system, which has pro- ven its worth in many applications, and combines it with state-of-the-art infor- mation technology. All system compo- nents, i.e. lighting, camera and control unit, are connected via Wi-Fi, so that the lighting, camera and system as a whole can be easily and flexibly controlled with mobile communication devices such as tablet PCs. The Touch & Inspect systems can also interconnect with each other to exchange data or make data available in a structured database for later analysis. The system’s core components – lighting and smart camera – can be directly controlled, giving Touch & Inspect systems maximum adaptability The result is a smart, modular, highly- flexible system architecture that allows the flow of information from inspection to be viewed at any time, providing an optimum base for decision-making. In- spection results are displayed on the mo- bile control unit so that the operator can move about freely. The system architec- ture ensures access to each inspection system within the network. Both came- ras and lighting can be easily remote controlled. Thanks to innovative camera technology and high computing power, the system is able to scan even large sur- Next-Generation Surface Inspection ISRA VISION AG Industriestr. 14, 64297 Darmstadt, Germany www.isravision.com With wireless network communication, the inspection systems form a single collaborative network to transmit information to one another, to a central database or to mobile communication devices
