Innovative automation solutions for production environments 

ams OSRAM's optical solutions for machine vision enable precise environmental perception across various applications. In quality control, automatic optical inspection relies on the combination of imager resolution, frame rate, scanning method, shutter technology, and scene illumination to achieve high image quality. Spectrally adaptive illumination may be needed for daylight conditions. 

Machine vision applications benefit from near-infrared illumination and sensitive NIR image sensors, which ensure high-performance vision systems immune to ambient light. In production environments, safety is ensured by 2D/3D LiDAR scanners or LED light curtains, which prevent accidents by detecting presence and motion. 

Automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) systems, used in retail, warehousing, and distribution centers, rely on linear image sensors or 2D array imagers to read barcodes and QR codes. These systems consist of an illumination system, optical sensor, and decoder, which work together to identify objects and obtain key metrics. 

Functional safety in production environments involves more than just localization and presence detection. Advanced multi-channel capacitive sensing controllers and smart proximity sensors ensure machines operate only when safe. Visual safety cues are enhanced with multi-color LEDs and innovative status indications, such as projecting patterns onto the floor or walls around equipment.
