Our featured article this week, Packagers Choose Machine Vision Quality Inspection to Reduce Waste and Boost ROI, was written by Omron Electronics. Recent technological advancements have made machine vision systems a viable solution for packagers, both big and small. By reducing waste and increasing return on investment, packagers can realize better results and maintain consumer confidence by outputting consistent and reliable product and packaging.
In this issue, we're also featuring the Integrated PC-Based Control System CD offered by Beckhoff Automation. If you are currently considering PC-Based control solutions, you should request their evaluation CD. Check out this week's sponsor (above right), STI...if you have a need for measuring and profiling scanners, their guide is a great resource.
