Emergency Pin Sorting Machine

"Emergency Machine Vision Needed ASAP!"
  • 100 bad pins were accidentally mixed in with 3 million good pins. Temp workers were working around the clock to find them. Invent Automation built a custom sorting machine to save the day. 50,000 parts a day had to be inspected to get back on track. Only 1/32” separated the good parts from the bad parts.
