Today, Microscan remains a technology leader in automatic identification and machine vision with extensive solutions for ID Tracking, Traceability and inspection.
Microscan focuses on technologies of automatic identification (auto ID), machine vision, and illumination with application solutions ranging from basic barcode reading up to complex machine vision inspection, gauging, and measurement. Our solutions help manufacturers around the world drive down cost and waste, automate critical manufacturing processes, and increase yields. |
IoT Solutions | | | Making life easier for software developers in the industrial domain is our mission. Industry 4.0 is about value-adding applications, not dealing with connectivity issues. Cybus is designed for reliable and secure data acquisition to minimize custom system integration efforts. Industrial device manufacturers (OEMs) can now offer a universal API within their products by implementing the Cybus stack right onto their hardware. | Machine Monitoring System Production Monitoring System Kanban System Digital Manufacturing | Integrate with your ERP to push & pull work order details, along with completed quantities, times, and more. Automatically generate work instructions by sending product configuration specifications. Capture and correlate data in any way through our open API. Transform into a Smart Manufacturing factory by combining VKS Connect with VKS Enterprise and linking your machines and tools. VKS Connect - With ToolConnect IoT and DataConnect possibility you can engage Smart Tools in your manufacturing process and capture strategic information while benefiting from 100% Traceability. | In our Internet of Things (IoT) world, it is obvious that the wireless technology now represents a key element in the future of industrial automation. More and more WiFi (WLAN) Access Points are available in the industry because of its serious benefits. Breaking the barrier between industrial applications and IT standards, the mission of eWON is to connect industrial machines securely to the Internet, enabling easy remote access and gathering all types of technical data originating from industrial machines. Typical applications within the scope of their mission include remote maintenance, Predictive Maintenance, remote services, asset management, remote metering, multi-site building management, M2M, and more. | | The company wants to change that reality with its smart collaborative robots like Baxter and Sawyer that can easily work with humans and adapt to real-world variability and imperfections.
A collaborative robot, as Rethink's engineers define it, is intended to work interactively in a people-compatible way. Unlike traditional robots, Baxter learns by training, not by programming. | |
