Machine vision is an integral part of many complex
manufacturing and assembly processes, and Bachelor Controls is at
the forefront of the technology. Collaborating with some of the best
producers of vision systems and sensors, BCI has developed an impressive
portfolio of successful vision projects.
Difficult Problems Require
Creative Solutions
Tight spaces. Inadequate lighting. Obstructed angles. Strict performance
criteria. No matter the obstacle, Bachelor Controls’ vision
specialists excel at designing creative solutions to demanding and
challenging problems.
BCI has developed a wealth of experience implementing
various vision applications in multiple situations, from label inspection
and packaging verification to Petrie dish inspection and contaminant
sorting in dry feed. This expertise, combined with creativity and
the desire to solve problems, have formulated the company’s
recipe for success.
Seeing the Big Picture
Bachelor Controls’ distinctive capability is the ability to
take the time up-front to develop a thorough understanding of the
process and to think through how the production line is supposed to
function. BCI programmers and engineers work to identify everything
that could go wrong and account for it in the system. Prior to implementation,
the system undergoes extensive testing, simulation and analysis. The
result is a vision system that works the first time it hits the floor.
Results
Bachelor Controls has successfully completed applications requiring
high degrees of accuracy, tight execution tolerances, and without
adding any additional time to the production cycle. BCI’s ability
to meet these standards has saved clients — such as Ford, Boehringer
Ingelheim, Folgers and Harley-Davidson — significant dollars
in costly repairs, product defects, assembly line production and regulatory
fines.

Bachelor Controls worked
with us to create an innovative solution to a critical inspection
in the assembly of the
V-Rod engine. The result is a robust and precise application that
does not add any additional cycle time to the process.
