A machine vision automation project is not something to undertake lightly. Until recently, it would have required expert programming and specialist knowledge. It could take months, and significant investment. The final rewards could be great, but the journey would often be long and hard. Some projects would inevitably stall, as the more cautious feared ending up with a system that did not fulfil its initial expectations. Now, in just a few years, developments in both hardware and software have opened an accessible road to rapid integration. While many more end-users can benefit from off-the-shelf solutions for common tasks, experienced machine builders radically reduce their development time and cost. Even a few years ago, this would have been unthinkable.
