In an era where speed, flexibility, and precision define manufacturing success, traditional automation systems are no longer enough. Manufacturers are increasingly turning to intelligent, vision-guided robotics to handle complex tasks once thought impossible to automate. At the centre of this transformation is the convergence of 3D Vision, AI-based image processing, and robotic integration — the core expertise of Eye Vision Technology (EVT)
Robot Vision – smarter than ever
Whether it’s depalletizing randomly stacked components or inspecting the finest surface defects, today’s robots need more than just programmed motion. They need to see — and understand. EVT’s EyePickIt and EyeVision 3D systems do just that. These systems combine powerful 3D vision sensors with smart software and AI to guide robots through variable environments, improving picking precision, reducing downtime, and increasing flexibility.
With integrated features such as object detection, segmentation, and anomaly recognition, EVT’s robot vision systems can accurately locate and identify parts, even in unstructured or reflective conditions. This enables reliable bin picking even in mixed or overlapping arrangements — without requiring complex reprogramming for every new part.
From Point Clouds to precision
At the core of EVT’s approach is its ability to turn raw 3D data into actionable insight. Using EyeVision 3D, robots are guided by depth information or point clouds, detecting object contours and surfaces in real time. Combined with AI Teach-In and Easy Annotation tools, even non-experts can train models to recognize new parts or defects quickly — making the technology highly adaptable across industries.
One example: A system using EyeVision 3D can simultaneously inspect a product’s geometry and surface condition — identifying shape deviations, scratches, or missing features in-line, even while the product is in motion.
AI that works for you
EVT’s Deep Learning is not just a trendy add-on — it’s a practical tool embedded into the EyeVision software. From OCR and license plate recognition to object classification and anomaly detection, the system offers pre-trained models and customizable pipelines. These models can be adapted to new tasks using EVT’s transfer learning approach, drastically reducing the time from concept to deployment.
With features like:
- Integrated training and evaluation
- Simplified and automatic labeling tools
- Drag-and-drop model creation
Even demanding visual inspection tasks — like spotting irregularities on food products or sorting objects with minimal contrast — become manageable, scalable, and robust.
Real-World examples: From Bin Picking to precision control
- Bin Picking with 3D & AI
With EyePickIt, EVT provides a modular and intelligent robot vision solution for automated part localization. By combining powerful 3D image processing with advanced software tools, EyePickIt enables robots to detect, localize, and pick components from bins — even under complex conditions like reflective surfaces or overlapping objects. Thanks to its customizable algorithms and smart data evaluation, the system ensures high accuracy and fast cycle times, adaptable to different part types and picking strategies. - Inline Inspection for reflective components
Using 3D vision combined with AI-based surface analysis, EyeVision systems inspect chrome-plated or metallic parts where glare and reflections would challenge traditional systems — ensuring quality control without slowing down production. - Automated measurement and sorting
EyeVision 3D captures dimensional data while AI classifies parts by features or defects. This supports both measurement tasks and intelligent sorting, critical in logistics and assembly line operations.
Vision meets integration
Thanks to its modular design, EVT’s solutions integrate seamlessly into existing production lines. Camera systems, lighting, and sensor technology are all optimized to work in sync with the EyeVision software — reducing complexity and setup time. The systems support all major robot and hardware brands, making integration easy for OEMs and system integrators.
With LLM support, EVT is also stepping into the next phase of intelligent automation — where human-machine interfaces are smarter, and visual systems are capable of understanding broader context and tasks.
As factories get smarter, vision systems are no longer just sensors — they’re decision-makers. Whether it’s enabling robots to pick unordered items from a bin or enhancing quality control with AI-powered inspection, EVT is driving a new standard in machine vision. By combining 3D imaging, intelligent software, and practical deployment tools, EVT makes advanced automation both accessible and scalable.
For manufacturers and integrators looking to add intelligence, flexibility, and speed to their operations, EVT’s robot vision systems are more than just eyes — they’re the brain behind the operation.
Because in modern automation, it’s not just about what robots can do — it’s about what they can see.
