The high levels of automation in the companies that use manufacturing cells for their fabrication processes guarantee a high efficiency in production with high quality standards. The main objective of this paper is to develop an optimization for the tasks performed by the quality control station through artificial vision belonging to the manufacturing cell FMS-200; the development of the proposal focuses on optimizing the inspection process and control of quality by adapting image processing techniques and adaptive resonance neural networks. For this particular case, a review of the location of the optical system and a detailed time study for each movement of the station actuators was carried out, attempting to determinate a better position for the optical detection system (artificial vision camera) and the possibility elimination of some components of the station; all of this in order to considerably reduce the operating time and increasing the efficiency for the quality control of the system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
