Who am I? Who are we?
Ignazio Piacentini, 55 years old, M. Sc. from the Polytechnic of Central London
A past in research working for the European Commission (Euratom: thermonuclear fusion, 1976-1991) Co-founder and president of Graftek Italia (Machine Vision) In 1996: Graftek France software machine vision library is acquired by National Instruments (Austin, Texas) From 1999 to 2003 hired by National Instruments Corporate as Machine Vision Business Developer Manager for Europe In 2004 soft shut-down and restart in ImagingLab Srl
Francesco Romanò, 30 years old,, Polytechnic of Milan, co-founder of ImagingLab Gabriele Galeazzi, 35 years old, High School Diploma in Electronics Engineering, Milan, co-founder of ImagingLab Simone Rocchi, 33 years old, Degree in Mechanical Engineering Uni of Ancona, PhD Uni of Padova The full team today: 8 people (6 engineering, 2 admin / finance)

ImagingLab: an integrator or a design bureau?
ImagingLab does not build and deploy complete ‘machines’, but works in close cooperation with other companies / partners with machine production facilities (mechanics, electrics, pneumatics, etc.) Our activities starts with a feasibility study all the way to a fully working prototype Application sw is designed and developed mostly in-house Special attention is given to repetitive business in areas like packaging and automated assembly Technology transfer and training is also part of our skills / services to ensure the successful deployment of new technologies

Machine Vision and Robotics is a growing mkt
We might be biased (90% of our small company business is linked to the tight integration of vision and robotics), but there is a fast growing presence of MV in the field of robotics
There are plenty of new areas for robots, especially low payload, high accuracy ones Today only 5-10 % of robotics apps make use of MV, but these number is destined to grow: 35% by 2012 ??
The number of robots in Europe / world is also increasing

Why and what is 'flexible manufacturing'? 1: market changes
Market and economics changes have a deep effect on engineering Production methods and requirements have changed a lot in recent years:
Flexibility vs production speed
Smaller production lots Faster time to market Lowering production costs to respond to agressive new competitors (China, India mkts) Cycle time: what does it really means? Design for speed Design for flexibility Design for ease of use Design for low cost of ownership

Why and what is 'flexible manufacturing'? 2: robotics
Assembly machines need to be able to produce different objects / products:
Flexible automated assembly:
At least in the same class of products No re-tooling required Fast production lot change with limited or no operator intervention Used by non skilled personnel Reconfigurable / reusable for new products In-process quality control (as opposed to end-of-line quality control) Loading / feeding components Putting the components together
Flexible and reconfigurable ‘mechanics’ for handling and assembly Highly modular The answer is: more robotics

Why and what is 'flexible manufacturing'? 3: machine vision
The robots need to perform more complex and ‘dynamic’ (i.e.) work cycles Robots need to see! Vision is used to: Locate the parts and send info to the robot Perform quality inspection of single components Verify assembly correctness
In-process vs end of line quality control:
Discards only defective component Prevents machine malfunctioning / jamming
The answer is: more vision @ Kuka, 20th may 2009

Why and what is 'flexible manufacturing'? 4: better integrated software
Machines need to be reconfigurable by the end user Vision and robotics sw needs to have simple user interface The integration of robotics and vision must take care of calibration procedures, machine commissioning and start-up tools, etc The answer is: high level software libraries and tools specific to vision and robotics integration

LabVIEW: one platform for tight integration of vision & robotics
ImagingLab: a vision-centric view of robotics One single sw platform for all integration aspects: robotics, vision, HMI, …. Reducing the cost and time to market of new applications
